My older sister and I would sing this song together as she played guitar. My sweetest memories are when we sang harmony together. She died at age 18 of liver cancer. I was 17 then, and now at age 62 this song makes me 12 again, singing harmony with my sister. 💜 I miss you, Chrissy. Edit: since this post, I have been so moved by the compassion of readers from all over the world. You have been a great comfort. Christine Ann was my only sister. When I was little, I would curl up at the foot of her bed rather than sleep in my own. I was always in awe of her mastery of music theory. Our singing was a deep bond. This song touches me still. Thank you for the love. Diane 🦋
Sevgili gencler Bende 71 yasindayim Biz 68 kusagi cok sevdik hala cok seviyoruz Joan Beaz'i Yanliz diyilsiniz...Bravo sizlere...Bu vahsi kapitalizimin caginda Ruhunuzu korumussunuz.....Evet hala bir isik var gelecek icin Tesekkurler size.Ta uzaklardan Danimarkadan sevgiler siz duyarli genclere.
My mom used to sing this song to me when it was bed time. It was in the late 80's. Almost 30 years later it brings tears to my eyes but I keep listening to it :)
My mom sounds just like Joan, and made a mixed tape with this on it with her playing the guitar. I listened to it growing up all the time, and we called it the "Donut song". I still have no idea what this song is about, or what Donna is in reference to.
J ai 49 ans et ce n 'est pas une chanteuse de ma génération, mais j'adore cette chanteuse, cette voix et ses chansons. J'ai des frissons à chacune quasiment de ses chansons.❤
One of the most beautiful universal folk songs. I knew it first in English but my mother would also sing it in Yiddish where it originated, and later I learned the Hebrew version which some communities here in Israel sing on Passover Eve. Just played this one to my mother who is now 95
Yes they do. I have friends who are Palestinian. I'd like Israel to move back to the '67 lines and make peace with the Palestinians if they had assurances that Hamas will make peace. I'd even agree to give up part of the Golan to connect Palestine to Gaza to give them continuity. But we have no guaranty of Peace because of Hsmas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad. Let Jerusalem and other places of religious significance be governed by a joint conference like the Vatican. Israel could work on developing a Marshall Plan for Gaza with seaside resorts. But Hamas prefers to spend money for weapons than to better their people. So here we are. Palestinians are good,honest hard working people. They deserve to flourish also. It's Hamas and Netanyahu who created this mess and as long as they continue in power this mess will only get more desperate.
Dear Joan, your songs accompanied my life from youth on. I am 72 years now. I still have records with your songs. I saw you in Beethovenhalle Bonn/Germany years ago. It was great. Thank for for all of it. For your wonderfull voice, which me always fulfilled with love and courage in life. Love from germany to you.
We used to sing this song at camp. Even though we were 10 or 11 years old, they taught us the true meaning and to never be the calf. I cry when I think of my friends whose parents had numbers tattooed on their arms. Never Again
I was only around 8-12 years old when I first heard this song, and I remember crying to it even though I couldn't understand what it meant. A few years later, I got to find out what the song means, and I have a whole new perspective of it now as well as knowing the reason why I cried when I first heard it. Even though this song was way past my generation, it still touches the hearts of those who listen to it. I am currently 23 years old, and I still love this song. Thank you to the person who wrote the original version and those also who made covers of this song. I am forever grateful.
I Hade cried to listen to the song ,me too. Then I was 13. About 50 year’s ago. Now I want to cry again ,because my past days are beautiful. But I had to live future
Wonderful to hear! I am some 35 years older than you (58), but I have the same feelings. I learned this as a boy scout in the early seventies, singing around the camp fire. It struck my heart immediately. Now, some 50 years later it always brings tears to my eyes! Strange what music can do to your soul..... This is a truely universal song
Due to a horrible divorce I lost contact with my children for 7 years now. Almost every evening I sang this song two times when bringing my youngest daughter to bed. First time on the original melody, second time with the refrain on a selfmade melody. Almost every night, year after year. One of my dearest and most painfull memories. We had an intimate joke together: I always skipped the last word 'don', and my daughter was always waiting untill that last 'don' to come. And then, when she no longer expected it or was almost falling asleep, that last word 'don' sounded and we laughed together. I hope she will remember this beautifull sung. The words are so simple and true. I hope she finds the strength to put the terrible misery of her parents' divorce behind her - a divorce that she never wanted but which has shaped her. And that she finds the strength, that inner power, to become a swallow once again, and not a calf.
I was young maybe 7-8th grade when I first heard this, but the haunting, sad beauty of this song has stayed with me. It’s a heartbreaking song sung by a master. 💔🕊
What a wonderful artiste! One of my favourite songs and I have never heard it sung better. pure, simple and great story telling from start to finish......
Tak często jak słucham tego utworu w tym wykonaniu ogromnie się wzruszam. Pierwszy raz usłyszałem te pieśń gdy miałem 19 lat. Dzisiaj mam 60 i nadal mnie ten utwór fascynuje i wzrusza..... tak zostanie na zawsze..

Two months ago after watching Joan on TH-cam singing FRANK HILL at Woodstock the song DONNA Came up as the next trac...

Thank you Joan.
A song... About someone conceived from rape... Bound for slaughter... With female siblings bound to have a full life of torture, sexual exploitation, of being made to produce up to 10 times more milk than she naturally would... Having her babies kidnapped from her, leaving her absolutely heartbroken for days to weeks... And sometimes loosing her voice from crying so much... And have that repeating four to five times... Then being slaughtered at the end of those five miserable, heartbreaking horrible years, sometimes even still with a baby in her... As a LULLABY? Seriously? That is craaaaaazy!
I'm going on to 61. When I was a senior high, this song became one of my favorites. Time flies. Now I'm a teacher in a private high school, being bound and slaughtered and threatened to retire earlier like an "old calf" in a wagon to the market. How I wish I could back to be a teenager,or a swallow, again, listening to the same song .
My father who's 56, loves this song and used to sing my sister and I, while we were little. Now I absolutely adore this song. I miss those late spring nights.
One of my favorite, perhaps my favorite interpretation by Joan Baez, who is also one of my favorite popular singers. And this is from her first album, where she already demonstrated the extent of her talent.
I'm 57 years old. I don't remember ever hearing this song before, but I love it immediately. I'm pretty sure I need to listen to it about 100 times more to truly understand everything Joan is saying here.
John: I heard the translated version in my native country before I got to know the English version and yes lost in translation! Like you I had to (still) listen over and over.
John : I'm Florence, 57 years old soon, so I'm remember heard that song in English and in my native language when I was very young, my father listened all song of Joan Baez, and we love some of them, she has a beautiful voice.
John, I'm probably your age, born in 1963. I learned this as a boy scout, singing around the camp fire. It struck my heart immediately. Now, some 50 years later it brings tears to my eyes! Strange what music can do to your soul.....
This song is a treasure to me! a kind lady taught this to me whilst in Queens MedicalCentre Neurology Unit, lost touch with a compassionate soul, x ps it was 2 years ago too!
My papa used to sing me this song when I was a kid whenever I had a nightmare, he used to hum the verse and lyrics to me until I drifted quiet and tranquil, Thank you papa, I love you
(Şu an 25 yaşındayım ve tarih 10 Haziran 2023 saat gece 01.15 . O zamandan bu zamana çok şey değişti. İngilizce öğretmeni oldum. Pandemiyi yaşadım. Depremi yaşadım. Ailemden yakınlarımı kaybettim... Çok zor şeyler yaşadık hâla da yaşıyoruz.. Ama değişmeyen tek şey hayatın devam ettiği ve böyle müziklerin etkisinin hep sürdüğü.. Sizler de yorumumu her beğendiğinizde ya da yorum yaptığınızda buraya geri dönüp buruk bir gülümseme yaşıyorum.. Ve zamanın nasıl hızlı akıp gittiğini daha iyi anlıyorum..) Bilerek İngilizce değil de Türkçe yorum atıyorum belki bir Türk vardır bu şarkıyı benim gibi dinleyen :) Yıl 2020 ve ben 22 yaşındayım ama hala ruhumu dinlendirmek için bu kadının şarkılarını dinlerim. Çok farklı bir müzik tarzı var. İnsanı hayatın karmaşasından uzaklaştırıp çok farklı alemlere götürüyor ❤
Şarkı anasayfaya düşmüş, gerçekten çok güzel, böyle güzel bir sanatçının şarkısını yeni keşfettiğim için çok üzgünüm. Tavsiye edeceğin şarkıları var mı?
Merhaba Fatıma Zehra ben de 34 yaşındayım. Eski şarkılarda duygu yoğunluğu çok var. Teknoliji çağı ilerledikçe duygular eskisi gibi olmadı materyalizm daha ön planda. Lâkin içimizde halen ruhumuzu dinginleştiremediğimiz yerler var. Işte bu müzikler bir parça nefes almamızı sağlıyor.
This just brings tears in eyes and reminds of the days that shall never return... and the rainy nights, and summer afternoons when we were young .......
@@jenniferloewenstein3538 No, you don't know this person! It's the stupidest pick-up line in the history of the Internet. AND it's a man. Look at the photo. Little girls are shown. Look at his history just on this one site: he asked this of three women. A pervert.
A companion throughout time, reflections of emotional journeys, so clear in my mind. My intense gratitude for having now the privilege to make her part of my current journey.
A few decades ago (5+) when I was a Girl Scout we sang this song during most campfire programs, at summer camp before meals and at scout's own ceremonies. It is truely a special song in my heart bringing together so many girls in lyrics & melodies of dreams and possibilities as we grew into women & adults. I had no idea Joan Baez sang it, but we loved her songs so I'm not surprised. Singing in a group of people at campfires while camping in forests was a beautiful experience in music & joy. Listening to her sing just now has brought so many memories flowing back to me, wow!
I was 15 when I first watched Joan Baez sing at Woodstock thanks to VHS technology. It was 1985 and I start her singing Frank Hill and I was moved... My parents had one Joan Baez album the first one, and track number 7 was DONNA, on the record... 38 years later in 20 22 after watching her performance of Frank Hill the next song that came up was DONNA and upon her voice I felt like I was transported somewhere else for brief time I will never forget that. Thank you Joan.
My name is Edona which in albanian means "we love her", but my relatives often call me Dona, and my roommate puts this song almost every morning to wake me up. 💁♀️
Evet muhteşem bir müzik. Muhteşem bir yorum. Terapi almış gibi oldum. Huzurlu ve dingin hissediyorum şu anda. 3 kez üstüste dinledim. Az öncede Barış Manço ve Cem Karaca düeti dinledim. Çok şanslı hissediyorum kendimi
Thank you, Joan! My mother used to sing "Dona, Dona" and accompany herself on the guitar. Now, I'm relearning it so that I can sing it to my new grandson.
When I was a young teen, we sang this song...I think an Israeli folk song..along with all the folk songs of the 60's/70's. We were a singing family who took all the songs of the 50/60/70's as if they were the only songs out there. People came to our Laurel Canyon home on Sundays to hang out and sing to our hearts content. ...oh those were the days..someone needs to bring them back....
1 dont think she is sincere ... she sings it but ı think she sıngs all abıout money from my ıstanbul experıence ... ı dont like her TOTALLY MY HEARTS GUESS
A former girlfriend learned it from me, but when she sang it on a kibbutz in Israel, circa 1973, none of the Israelis had ever heard it before. I had known the song from at least before 1963.
"Belki bir Türk vardır bu şarkıyı benim gibi dinleyen" diyorsun Zehra. Yıl 2021 ve ben de 84 yaşımda olduğumu bilerek yorum yapıyorum 23 yaşındaki Zehra kızım. "Ruhumu dinlendirmek içiin" diye ekliyorsun. Ben de öyle yapıyorum. Sana ve Baez'e sağlıklı ve mutlu günler diliyorum.
This song gets me every time it’s been played at family funerals and I have to be careful in listening to it. I’m in tears with the emotion of the song and the painful memories
çocuktum ilk ablalar abilerden dinledim, biraz büyüdüm , onlara imrenerek dinledim , ne yazık 60 lar 70 lerde olamamak derken, ki belkide bunlarda ayrı güzeldi .. simdi 50 oldum ,ve 2022 , kalbime hala dokunuyor bu şarkı ....
This is one of the first songs I learned from that era, which is truly beautiful and deserves to be one of the very best songs ever. However, years later I realise the fundamental problem with the concept of "freedom" in this song - cows will never fly no matter how hard they try to learn, but they deserve the same freedom as have the swallows. In the real world, no country should disrespect, discredit or even attack any other simply because they can't or do not want to live the life you have. A swallow lives a short life and can be easily eaten by a hawk, whereas a cow can enjoy peaceful life for many years, so flying or not does not matter. Everyone has weaknesses so let's respect each other.
Kumral düz saçlı kız Köyümüzün pempe yanaklı kızı Yıllar önce bir yıldız gibi kaydın gittin Mezarının üstünü dikenler Taşının üstünü yosunlar kapladı Senin gidişin gibi Senden tüm işaretler kayboldu Geçen yıl içimize sinmedi Eşimle dikenleri yolduk Ben mezar taşını parlattım O yazılarını boyadı Etrafın yüzün gibi aydınlandı Sıcak sonbahar esintisi Içimize huzur ve neşeyle doldu Bizler duymasakta Eşimin babası hemen yanında Daha iyi duyacak fısıltılarını Sen gençliğini göremesende O anlatacak sana Genç yaşta ölene dek yaşadıklarını Birzamanlar öğrencilerine anlatır gibi...
Bir yandan şarkıyı dinlerken, bir yandan da bu şarkının kendisinde iz bıraktığı insanların yorumlarını okuyorum. Çoğu yaşlı ve hepsi o günlerin ne kadar güzel geçtiğinden bahs ediyor. 15 yaşında bir genç olarak, onların yerinde olmayı her şeyden çok isterdim. En azından ana bileceğim, unutamayacağım, huzurlu bir gençliğim olurdu...Şu an ise telefonlara gömülmüş, tüm günü aynı geçen, varoluş sancısıyla savaşan, direnmeye çalışan gençleriz çoğumuz...ahh, işte böyle zamanlarda insan sonsuzadek uyumak istiyor

The first time I heard this song was in the car on the radio on the bridge between Kenton-on-sea and Bushmans River, crossing Bushmans River with Gus Oberholzer, 1976, I think. Fell in love with the song instantly.
Besides its weaknesses, `Song of Bangladesh' by Joan Baez was no doubt a source of inspiration and strength to the 75 million people of Bangladesh in those days of turmoil, uncertainty, pains, courage and innumerable deaths that brought independent Bangladesh. Joan Baez, as usual, stood rightly beside the peoples of Bangladesh, to uphold their constitutional option and justice for an oppressed nation. LONG LIVE JOAN BAEZ. LONG LIVE `SONG OF BANGLADESH'
Donna Donna" 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. [Chorus:] How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might. Laugh and laugh the whole day through, and half the summer's 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?" [Chorus:] How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might. Laugh and laugh the whole day through, and half the summer's night. Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don. Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don. Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, never knowing the reason why. But whoever treasures freedom, like the swallow has learned to fly. [Chorus:] How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might. Laugh and laugh the whole day through, and half the summer's night. Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don. Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.

We used to sing this song at summer camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains west of San Francisco Bay in the late 60s. So beautiful. Song and singer. Joan is a National Treasure. She should go pick up Dylan's Nobel Prize for Literature in December 2016. Since Dylan is too busy to go.
Hallo saya dari indonesia , saya hanya sorang penikmat lagu yang kebetulan baru mendengarkan lagu ini, dan ajaib nya lagu ini seakan membawaku ke masa lalu dan khayal ku sambil mendengarkan lagu ini seakan aku berada di padang rumput yang luas sambil menikmati angin di sana, suasana nya yang teduh sambil duduk di bawah pohon seperti seorang gembala , dan itu membuat hati ku damai, seringkali aku tertidur sambil mendengarkan lagu ini dan apa di balik lagu ini jujur aku sangat penasaran mungkin lagu ini menceritakan kisah kelam atau apa sehingga lagu ini memiliki jiwa , seakan bagi siapapun yang mendengarkan nya mereka mereka pasti tertarik dangan lagu ini, terimakasih
I remember this song so well from Hebrew School. I changed a lot of the words and made it our family lullabye song when my kids were babies. They still can sing it. Had no idea until just now that it was a Joan Baez song!!

I've been listening to Joan Baez for over 50 years. This song always brings tears to my eyes.
Joan Baez has been in my book of favorites since about 1970's. I think I still have the LP with the song....

John, I'm probably your age, born in 1963. I learned this as a boy scout, singing around the camp fire. It struck my heart immediately. Now, some 50 years later it brings tears to my eyes! Strange what music can do to your soul.....
Very old yiddish song
This song is a treasure to me! a kind lady taught this to me whilst in Queens MedicalCentre Neurology Unit, lost touch with a compassionate soul, x ps it was 2 years ago too!
Hello Patsy, How are you doing?
My papa used to sing me this song when I was a kid whenever I had a nightmare, he used to hum the verse and lyrics to me until I drifted quiet and tranquil, Thank you papa, I love you
(Şu an 25 yaşındayım ve tarih 10 Haziran 2023 saat gece 01.15 . O zamandan bu zamana çok şey değişti. İngilizce öğretmeni oldum. Pandemiyi yaşadım. Depremi yaşadım. Ailemden yakınlarımı kaybettim... Çok zor şeyler yaşadık hâla da yaşıyoruz.. Ama değişmeyen tek şey hayatın devam ettiği ve böyle müziklerin etkisinin hep sürdüğü.. Sizler de yorumumu her beğendiğinizde ya da yorum yaptığınızda buraya geri dönüp buruk bir gülümseme yaşıyorum.. Ve zamanın nasıl hızlı akıp gittiğini daha iyi anlıyorum..)
Bilerek İngilizce değil de Türkçe yorum atıyorum belki bir Türk vardır bu şarkıyı benim gibi dinleyen :) Yıl 2020 ve ben 22 yaşındayım ama hala ruhumu dinlendirmek için bu kadının şarkılarını dinlerim. Çok farklı bir müzik tarzı var. İnsanı hayatın karmaşasından uzaklaştırıp çok farklı alemlere götürüyor ❤
Yalnız değilsin dostum..
Ergenligimden beri ne zaman uzaklara dalmak istesem bi bira acsam bu sarki gelir aklima tuhaflik bizde degil bence :)
Şarkı anasayfaya düşmüş, gerçekten çok güzel, böyle güzel bir sanatçının şarkısını yeni keşfettiğim için çok üzgünüm. Tavsiye edeceğin şarkıları var mı?
Evet dinliyoruz
Merhaba Fatıma Zehra ben de 34 yaşındayım. Eski şarkılarda duygu yoğunluğu çok var. Teknoliji çağı ilerledikçe duygular eskisi gibi olmadı materyalizm daha ön planda. Lâkin içimizde halen ruhumuzu dinginleştiremediğimiz yerler var. Işte bu müzikler bir parça nefes almamızı sağlıyor.
when I was 5 years old, my father always played this song every morning. ouch, time flies so fast.
This just brings tears in eyes and reminds of the days that shall never return... and the rainy nights, and summer afternoons when we were young .......
There’s still no singer whose voice compares with Joan Baez’. She was and is one of a kind...

A companion throughout time, reflections of emotional journeys, so clear in my mind. My intense gratitude for having now the privilege to make her part of my current journey.
A few decades ago (5+) when I was a Girl Scout we sang this song during most campfire programs, at summer camp before meals and at scout's own ceremonies. It is truely a special song in my heart bringing together so many girls in lyrics & melodies of dreams and possibilities as we grew into women & adults. I had no idea Joan Baez sang it, but we loved her songs so I'm not surprised. Singing in a group of people at campfires while camping in forests was a beautiful experience in music & joy. Listening to her sing just now has brought so many memories flowing back to me, wow!
Hi Nancy hope you're okay?
Thisis one of the great songs ever... gentle... and themes sage is soooo powerful
Thanknypu joan baez
I just learned this on guitar and she’s coming to my state on her farewell tour I can’t wait to see her 😭😭😭😍😍😍
tell me :).
I was 15 when I first watched Joan Baez sing at Woodstock thanks to VHS technology.
It was 1985 and I start her singing Frank Hill and I was moved...
My parents had one Joan Baez album the first one, and track number 7 was DONNA, on the record...
38 years later in 20 22 after watching her performance of Frank Hill the next song that came up was DONNA and upon her voice I felt like I was transported somewhere else for brief time I will never forget that. Thank you Joan.
My name is Edona which in albanian means "we love her", but my relatives often call me Dona, and my roommate puts this song almost every morning to wake me up. 💁♀️
😘🌺🌹🌺🌹🌹😘
Evet muhteşem bir müzik. Muhteşem bir yorum. Terapi almış gibi oldum. Huzurlu ve dingin hissediyorum şu anda. 3 kez üstüste dinledim. Az öncede Barış Manço ve Cem Karaca düeti dinledim. Çok şanslı hissediyorum kendimi
i love you dona...
You two are so beautiful!
🇧🇩
Thank you, Joan! My mother used to sing "Dona, Dona" and accompany herself on the guitar. Now, I'm relearning it so that I can sing it to my new grandson.
Hi Alexandra
When I was a young teen, we sang this song...I think an Israeli folk song..along with all the folk songs of the 60's/70's. We were a singing family who took all the songs of the 50/60/70's as if they were the only songs out there. People came to our Laurel Canyon home on Sundays to hang out and sing to our hearts content. ...oh those were the days..someone needs to bring them back....
+Annette Gallardo you are right. it is an israeli folk song. a yeddish song originaly
Sounds like wonderfully idyllic times you had you were living the dream the world has gone backwards since then.
@VanessaGohlaOfficial Jewish people. There is no such thing as the Yiddish people.
1 dont think she is sincere ... she sings it but ı think she sıngs all abıout money from my ıstanbul experıence ... ı dont like her TOTALLY MY HEARTS GUESS
A former girlfriend learned it from me, but when she sang it on a kibbutz in Israel, circa 1973, none of the Israelis had ever heard it before.
I had known the song from at least before 1963.
Her voice is as clear and beautiful as a mountain stream ..

Well I sure do hope there was no cheese or meat at that funeral...
tellement d'émotion. Merci pour l' interprétation si juste de cette chanson tellement pleine de sens

Albino Natividad she’s still alive
The song of my childhood! Bring the nostalgie of my childhood the time when my father still arround.

This is one of the first songs I learned from that era, which is truly beautiful and deserves to be one of the very best songs ever. However, years later I realise the fundamental problem with the concept of "freedom" in this song - cows will never fly no matter how hard they try to learn, but they deserve the same freedom as have the swallows. In the real world, no country should disrespect, discredit or even attack any other simply because they can't or do not want to live the life you have. A swallow lives a short life and can be easily eaten by a hawk, whereas a cow can enjoy peaceful life for many years, so flying or not does not matter. Everyone has weaknesses so let's respect each other.
It's a metaphor. You shouldn't directly compare them.
Beautiful comment. Yes, the swallow sounds a bit smug.
We use to sing this song at intermediate school back in 1972 and I still remember all those words 😊
Красавица с иконописным лицом и прекрасным голосом! 👏👏👏💎💐💐💐💖🙋♀️👍🌞
Благодарю за видео!
Иконы и писали с еврейских лиц
Kumral düz saçlı kız
Köyümüzün pempe yanaklı kızı
Yıllar önce bir yıldız gibi kaydın gittin
Mezarının üstünü dikenler
Taşının üstünü yosunlar kapladı
Senin gidişin gibi
Senden tüm işaretler kayboldu
Geçen yıl içimize sinmedi
Eşimle dikenleri yolduk
Ben mezar taşını parlattım
O yazılarını boyadı
Etrafın yüzün gibi aydınlandı
Sıcak sonbahar esintisi
Içimize huzur ve neşeyle doldu
Bizler duymasakta
Eşimin babası hemen yanında
Daha iyi duyacak fısıltılarını
Sen gençliğini göremesende
O anlatacak sana
Genç yaşta ölene dek yaşadıklarını
Birzamanlar öğrencilerine anlatır gibi...
This song is be a first English song i heard and singing in class with friend.I alway feeling good to hearing this song again and again.
I can feel butterflies in my stomach when she sings
Bir yandan şarkıyı dinlerken, bir yandan da bu şarkının kendisinde iz bıraktığı insanların yorumlarını okuyorum. Çoğu yaşlı ve hepsi o günlerin ne kadar güzel geçtiğinden bahs ediyor. 15 yaşında bir genç olarak, onların yerinde olmayı her şeyden çok isterdim. En azından ana bileceğim, unutamayacağım, huzurlu bir gençliğim olurdu...Şu an ise telefonlara gömülmüş, tüm günü aynı geçen, varoluş sancısıyla savaşan, direnmeye çalışan gençleriz çoğumuz...ahh, işte böyle zamanlarda insan sonsuzadek uyumak istiyor
Wow , ce cântec Frumos ,ce voce Minunată și ce interpretă Superbă ! Cânți DIVIN și ești DIVINĂ ! Bravo ție , Felicitări , Milioane de Felicitări ! Vocea ta este UNICAT i-ar tu ești UNICĂ și MINUNATĂ ! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Olmaz mı, burdayım gençliğimin şarkısı! Dünya da barış, kardeşlik ve doğanın sömürülmediği temiz çevre olması ve kalması dileğiyle
The first time I heard this song was in the car on the radio on the bridge between Kenton-on-sea and Bushmans River, crossing Bushmans River with Gus Oberholzer, 1976, I think. Fell in love with the song instantly.
the best voice in the folk music history! the voice of an rebel angel
Donna Donna what a beautiful song Sung and played by the magnificent musician Joan Baez
Wahre Leidenschaft für Musik kommt aus der Seele
Her voice just so beautiful, I just love listening.
Besides its weaknesses, `Song of Bangladesh' by Joan Baez was no doubt a source of inspiration and strength to the 75 million people of Bangladesh in those days of turmoil, uncertainty, pains, courage and innumerable deaths that brought independent Bangladesh.
Joan Baez, as usual, stood rightly beside the peoples of Bangladesh, to uphold their constitutional option and justice for an oppressed nation.
LONG LIVE JOAN BAEZ.
LONG LIVE `SONG OF BANGLADESH'
🇧🇩🖤
Donna Donna"
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.
[Chorus:]
How the winds are laughing,
they laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
and half the summer's 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?"
[Chorus:]
How the winds are laughing,
they laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
and half the summer's night.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
like the swallow has learned to fly.
[Chorus:]
How the winds are laughing,
they laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
and half the summer's night.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
Спасибо.
Thanks !

Grande interprete grande donna con una sensibilità particolare sa arrivare al cuore e lo riempie di emozioni!
We used to sing this song at summer camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains west of San Francisco Bay in the late 60s. So beautiful. Song and singer. Joan is a National Treasure. She should go pick up Dylan's Nobel Prize for Literature in December 2016. Since Dylan is too busy to go.
you are right, so beatiful of her song.
Her songs are beautiful
Her soul stenches of communist extermination camps
No Nobel prize for those praising crimes against humanity
Joan Baez will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall o Fame next year. Congratullations Joan Baez.

Hallo saya dari indonesia , saya hanya sorang penikmat lagu yang kebetulan baru mendengarkan lagu ini, dan ajaib nya lagu ini seakan membawaku ke masa lalu dan khayal ku sambil mendengarkan lagu ini seakan aku berada di padang rumput yang luas sambil menikmati angin di sana, suasana nya yang teduh sambil duduk di bawah pohon seperti seorang gembala , dan itu membuat hati ku damai, seringkali aku tertidur sambil mendengarkan lagu ini dan apa di balik lagu ini jujur aku sangat penasaran mungkin lagu ini menceritakan kisah kelam atau apa sehingga lagu ini memiliki jiwa , seakan bagi siapapun yang mendengarkan nya mereka mereka pasti tertarik dangan lagu ini, terimakasih
One of my favorites and I used to sing it around the campfire many times! Love it!

Me to❤
This song is so old, but I love how the story told, sad ritme, clear acoustic and the most perfect is the vocal
Beautiful,nice piece of music...which takes me to the 70s when my sister sang this all days around..
I' used to play and sing this to audiences - early 70s. I learned to sing like Baez.
I remember this song so well from Hebrew School. I changed a lot of the words and made it our family lullabye song when my kids were babies. They still can sing it. Had no idea until just now that it was a Joan Baez song!!
Joan has one of the most beautiful and refined voices in the world. A super version of Donovan's classic...
