Dona Dona (English version)

Donna, Donna Joan Baez

On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky

How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all they might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night

Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Do
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Do

"Stop complaining" said the farmer
"Who told you a calf to be
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But who ever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly

有一輛前往市場的牛車
跟著一隻眼神哀悽的小牛
在牠的頭上有一隻燕子
輕盈的飛過天空

風兒都在笑著
它們盡情的笑著
笑啊！笑啊！笑了一整天
笑到仲夏的午夜

多娜多娜多娜多娜
多娜多娜多娜多
多娜………
多娜……

別再抱怨了！農夫說
誰叫你是一隻牛呢？
誰叫你沒有一雙可以飛翔的翅膀，
像燕子一樣既驕傲又自由

牛天生註定要被宰殺
從來沒人知道為什麼
但又有誰會珍惜自由
像燕子得學會飛行一樣
