We always sang "Dona Dona" during Holocaust Memorial Week in college--not sure of the origins of the song. Here are the lyrics: 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. Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona down Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona don 2. "Stop complaining," said the farmer "Who told you a calf to be; Why don't you have wings to fly away Like the swallow so proud and free?" 3. Calves are easily bound and slaughtered Never knowing the reason why. But whoever treasures freedom, Like the swallow must learn to fly
