Oh, Donna Donna

On the cart lies the dog,
Bound with a rope,
High in the sky flies the swallow,
Rejoices, turns, and cries.

The wind laughs in the corn
Laughs and laughs and laughs
It laughs for an entire day
With half of the night.

Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, don
Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, don

The dog cries, the priest says,
"Why do you consider yourself a dog?
Do you want to be a bird,
Do you want to be a swallow?

The wind laughs in the corn
Laughs and laughs and laughs
It laughs for an entire day
With half of the night.

Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, don
Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, don

Poor dogs are tied up,
And they are dragged and slaughtered
Who has wings, flies up
Is nobody's slave

The wind laughs in the corn
Laughs and laughs and laughs
It laughs for an entire day
With half of the night.

Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, don
Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, don
