I’m 78 and I love her as much now as I did at the beginning. Wonderful person with a very fulfilled life. She’s done so much, not that anyone’s learned anything from it. She has enriched our hearts.
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 🦋

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.

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 ❤

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.
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.
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
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.

"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.
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..
My parents had one Joan Baez album . Donna was the 7th track on the record. Why I never chose the track Only mightier forces know that was 1985... Two months ago after watching Joan on TH-cam singing FRANK HILL at Woodstock the song DONNA Came up as the next trac... Now at the age of 53 I have been seduced by one of the loveliest voices of the time. 38 years have past and I am so grateful to have a song in my heart, mind &soul to re-juvenate any space I find myself in. Thank you Joan.
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.....
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
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......
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'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.
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!
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.
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
Yıl 1989. 28 yaşındayım. Ankara Hipodrom'da 50.000 kişinin katıldığı Zülfü Livaneli - Joan Baez Konserindeyiz. Çimlerin üzerinde, elimizde mumlar, şarkıları birlikte söyledik. Dans ettik. Unutulmaz bir konserdi.

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. 💔🕊
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.
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.
Mon top 3 Amy Winehouse (pcq c'est vraiment un mélange de Joplin , des chanteuses souls les plus douées , fin ya un mix dans sa voix c'est incroyable) Amy ❤ - Joan Baez (son influence sur le monde de la musique est incroyable ) Et dolly parton pour changer un peu tiens , après c'est subjectif j'en ai plein qui me viennent en tête -
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
My English teacher, fresh from college sings this song to us in one school fest, and I immediately like to song. I bought a 45 record by Peter, Paul and Mary, but later when I heard Joan Baez version I like her version more. That was 50 years ago.
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 the 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 How the winds are laughing They laugh with all the 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 How the winds are laughing They laugh with all the 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
I just found this about the meaning of this song. "Dona Dona", popularly known as "Donna, Donna", is a song about a calf being led to slaughter, written by Sholom Secunda and Aaron Zeitlin. Originally a Yiddish language song "Dana Dana" (in Yiddish דאַנאַ דאַנאַ), also known as "Dos Kelbl" (in Yiddish דאָס קעלבל, meaning The Calf), it was a song used in a Yiddish play produced by Zeitlin. Joan Baez first popularized the English version of the song when she recorded it in 1960, retitled as "Donna Donna".
The first time i heard this song i cried,that was about 5years ago, back then my english wasnt that good to even understand the lyrics but the deepth in her voice is powerfull than language barrier and since then whenever i listen to this song it gives me chills..
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.
Yillardir dinledigim sarkinin ilk defa yorumlar bolumune baktim bu kadar cok insanimizin Joan baez dinledigini gormek hem sasirtdi hemde cok sevindirdi
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.

Yes , so do I
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..
My parents had one Joan Baez album . Donna was the 7th track on the record.
Why I never chose the track
Only mightier forces know that was 1985...
Two months ago after watching Joan on TH-cam singing FRANK HILL at Woodstock the song DONNA
Came up as the next trac...
Now at the age of 53 I have been seduced by one of the loveliest voices of the time.
38 years have past and I am so grateful to have a song in my heart, mind &soul to re-juvenate any space I find
myself in. Thank you Joan.
Bende bu şarkıyla 80 lere dönerek hüzünlendim.
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.
Hello I'm 17 years old.greetings from Turkey :)
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
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!
🇧🇩
The voice. Years after years, but her voice stills unique. One in a trillion
Absolutely!!!
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......
시간이 흘러도 아름다운 마음이 담긴 곡은 잊혀지지 않을 겁니다.
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'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.
My mom used to sing this to me as a lullaby. RIP mom, I love you
Am doing the same for my son 🙂
your mom is la mante?
:)) keep spirit
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!
@@oddvegan9797 maybe in my subconscious i felt for the calf. "Never knowing the reason why" I too am vegan, for over 20 years now.

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.
My favorite rendition what a lovely woman, then and now. Thanks much for posting.
I was taught this song when I was in school. Reading about ' Donna ' from FROM made me search for this song today. Glad I did.

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
40年前高校の頃ギターで弾き語りをした思い出の曲です。あのころは、良かった。
Yıl 1989. 28 yaşındayım. Ankara Hipodrom'da 50.000 kişinin katıldığı Zülfü Livaneli - Joan Baez Konserindeyiz. Çimlerin üzerinde, elimizde mumlar, şarkıları birlikte söyledik. Dans ettik. Unutulmaz bir konserdi.
Yorumlarda sizin gibi büyüklerimin böyle yorumlarını görünce hayatın ne kadar hızlı geçtiğini anlamak istemiyor insan fikirler bunu düşünmekten bile korkar oluyor. 25 Y

ne güzel bir anı, keşke şimdi de olabilse :(
Ne kadar da çabuk geçiyor, zamanlar...kederlenmemek elde değil
She is really carrying a nice tune. This is one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard in my life.
This is amazinly lovely. My late wife and sweet angel who rose to the sky way too young used to love it, and so do I now.
There’s still no singer whose voice compares with Joan Baez’. She was and is one of a kind...

너무 아름다운 목소리입니다. 잘들었습니다
Wonderful English rendition of the sad Yiddish song expressing the daily tragedies of life...
God bless Joan Baez
Is it just the daily tragedies or much more pathos ?
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.
世界史の授業で聞かせてます。声も魅力的です。英語の勉強にもなりました。
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.
C est la meilleure chanteuse de tout les temps que Dieu la garde

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?
조안 바이즈의 곡 청아하고 호소력있는 목소리 좋아요.^^
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

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 :).
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.
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.
She will stay forever as the queen of folk song.
She owns a great spiritual soul,and its singing voice echoes in the heats of those who hear it.
Que voz mas extraordinaria la de zjoan Baez!! Sobre todo en temas como dona, dona
Une si belle voix , de si beaux textes chez une si belle personne...🤗
It just popped into my head tonight after years. I wanted to play it on my guitar again. Thanks for uploading it.
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
Well I sure do hope there was no cheese or meat at that funeral...
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
Ketika saya masih studi, lagu ini menemani ku setiap malam. donna Donna, Donna Donna❤
when I was 5 years old, my father always played this song every morning. ouch, time flies so fast.
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.
with 500 miles ?
yes this is the best one
My English teacher, fresh from college sings this song to us in one school fest, and I immediately like to song. I bought a 45 record by Peter, Paul and Mary, but later when I heard Joan Baez version I like her version more. That was 50 years ago.
I can feel butterflies in my stomach when she sings
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 the 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
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all the 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
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all the their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night

I just found this about the meaning of this song.
"Dona Dona", popularly known as "Donna, Donna", is a song about a calf being led to slaughter, written by Sholom Secunda and Aaron Zeitlin. Originally a Yiddish language song "Dana Dana" (in Yiddish דאַנאַ דאַנאַ), also known as "Dos Kelbl" (in Yiddish דאָס קעלבל, meaning The Calf), it was a song used in a Yiddish play produced by Zeitlin.
Joan Baez first popularized the English version of the song when she recorded it in 1960, retitled as "Donna Donna".
Yes, I looked this up long ago. I was surprised
many many thanks
The first time i heard this song i cried,that was about 5years ago, back then my english wasnt that good to even understand the lyrics but the deepth in her voice is powerfull than language barrier and since then whenever i listen to this song it gives me chills..
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.
Oh, this song brought back so many of my childhood memories. My brother used to teach me to play guitar and this song was one of them. 😍
