Dona Dona (Episode 16)
Translation from Nozomi
DVD Release (2011) |
On a lazy, sunny afternoon on the road to the marketplace
A wagon rattles along
carrying a calf within.
The precious calf is going to be sold.
Such a sad look the calf's eyes hold. |
Dona Dona Dona Dona The calf rides on inside.
Dona Dona Dona Dona The wagon sways from side to side.
Dona Dona Dona Dona The calf rides on inside.
Dona Dona Dona Dona The wagon sways from side to side. |
A blue sky above, a gentle breeze blowing, swallows flying to and fro
A wagon heads to the market
carrying a calf within,
If only he
had wings
he could return to his happy pasture.
|
Dona Dona Dona Dona The calf rides on inside.
Dona Dona Dona Dona The wagon sways from side to side.

Dona Dona (OST 2 Version)
Translation by EJ |
One fine afternoon, on the road to the market
A cart rumbles along, carrying a calf
The adorable calf is going to be sold
It looks on with mournful eye |
Dona dona dona dona – carrying the calf
Dona dona dona dona – the cart sways
Dona dona dona dona – carrying the calf
Dona dona dona dona – the cart sways |
In the blue sky, on the breeze, a swallow wings swiftly by
The cart goes on towards the market, carrying the calf
-
In English:
|
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 (OST 5 Version)
Translation by Verthandi |
Late one sunny day, on the road to market,
A clattering cart bears a calf
The sweet calf, going to be sold,
Watches with sorrowful eyes |
Donna donna donna donna, bearing the calf,
Donna donna donna donna, the cart sways along
Donna donna donna donna, bearing the calf,
Donna donna donna donna, the cart sways along |
In the blue sky, the swallows wing on a gentle breeze
As the cart bears the calf to market
If only he had wings,
He could fly home to a pleasant pasture |
Donna donna donna donna, bearing the calf,
Donna donna donna donna, the cart sways along
Donna donna donna donna, bearing the calf,
Donna donna donna donna, the cart sways along |
| Donna donna donna, donna donna donna, donna! |
