Museum (Album Version)

On a wagon bound for market
Theres a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him theres 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 summers night.
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona don
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona don
'Stop complaining,'said the farmer
'Who told you a calf to be;
Why cant you have wings to fly away
Like the swallow 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 summers 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 whoever treasures freedom,
Like the swallow has learn to fly
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summers night.
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona dona
Dona dona dona dona
