This song is about a calf lamenting its fate compared to a free flying swallow. The calf sees the swallow winging through the sky and wishes it had wings too. The farmer tells the calf to stop complaining and that it was meant to be a calf without wings. The song expresses that calves are easily slaughtered without understanding why, while those that value freedom learn to fly like the swallow.

1. Lirik Lagu Sita Donna Donna Lyrics
Donna Donna - Sita
*courtesy of LirikLaguIndonesia.net
On a waggon bound for market
there?s a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him there?s a swallow,
winging swiftly through the sky
Reff:
How the winds are laughing,
they laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
and half the summers night.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna;
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna;
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
?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?
Repeat Reff
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
like the swallow has learned to fly.
Repeat Reff
