Fairy Tale Sacrifice 03:10 From: sutaretaidan

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 their might 
Laugh and laugh the whole day through 
And half the summer's night 
Dona Dona Dona Dona 
Dona Dona Dona Dona 
Dona Dona Dona Dona 
Dona Dona Dona Dona
  



Stop complaining, said the farmer 
Who told you a calf to be 
Why don't you have wings to fly with 
Like the swallows so proud and free  
How the winds are laughing 
They laugh with all their might 
Laugh and laugh the whole day through 
And half the summer's night 
Dona Dona Dona Dona 
Dona Dona Dona Don 
Dona Dona Dona Dona 
Dona Dona Dona Don 
 

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered 
Never knowing the reason why 
But who ever treasures freedom 
Like the swallow has leaned to fly  
How the winds are laughing 
They laugh with all their might 
Laugh and laugh the whole day through 
And half the summer's night 
Dona Dona Dona Dona 
Dona Dona Dona Don 
Dona Dona Dona Dona 
Dona Dona Dona Don
