capo V. 1. On a wagon bound for market there's a calf with a mournfull eye high above him there's a swallow winging swifly through the sky How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might(mind) laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night R: Donna Donna Donna Donna 2.

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered never knowing the reason why but who ever treasures freedom, like the swallow had learned to fly
