Thread Name: Help: Meaning of 'Donna donna' in Yiddish
Subject: RE: Help: Meaning of 'Donna donna' in Yiddish
Yes, I'm not sure what it is in the English version that Mr. Pfeiffer was complaining about, except for the (spurious) notion that "Donna" ought to be translated "Lord" or something. Both the Baez English version and the usual Esperanto version are reasonably faithful as song translations go to the Yiddish given above.
