YIDDISH LYRICS [based on ZEITLIN's version], as they were sung by Anna WERLIKOVÁ:

1.) Oyfn furl ligt a kelbl
Ligt gebundn mit a shtrik
Hoykh in himl flit a foygl
Flit un dreyt zikh hin un tsrik.

CHORUS:
Lakht der vint in korn
Lakht un lakht un lakht
Lakht er op a tog a gantsn
Un a halbe nakht.

Donay, donay, donay, donay,
donay, donay, donay, day (2x)

2.) Shrayt dos kelbl, zogt der poyer,
„Ver zhe heyst dikh zayn a kalb?
Volst gekent dokh zayn a foygl,
Volst gekent dokh zayn a shvalb!“

(CHORUS:) Lakht der vint in korn…

3.) Bidne kelblekh tut men pendn
Un men shlept zey un men shekht
Ver s’hot fliglekh, flit aroyf tsu
Iz bay keynem nisht keyn knecht

(CHORUS:) Lakht der vint in korn…


ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
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 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 what had to be?
Why can't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free?

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
Why can't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow you've learned to fly?

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


FRENCH TRANSLATION/ TRADUCTION FRANCAISE
Dans une carriole allant au marché,
il y a un veau à l'air mélancolique.
Au-dessus de lui, il y a une hirondelle
qui virevolte très haut dans le ciel.

Oh, le rire des vents résonne, il résonne de toute leur force, du matin jusqu'au soir, et tard dans la nuit d'été.

Refrain : Dona, dona, dona, dona, Dona, dona, dona, do, Dona, dona, dona, dona, Dona, dona, dona, do

"Arrête de te plaindre" dit le fermier,
"Qui t'a demandé d'être un veau ?
Pourquoi n'as-tu pas les ailes
de la fière et libre hirondelle ?"

Oh, le rire des vents résonne, il résonne de toute leur force, du matin jusqu'au soir, et tard dans la nuit d'été.

(Au Refrain)

Un veau se laisse mener à l'abattoir
facilement, sans même savoir pourquoi.
Mais celui à qui la liberté est chère,
a appris à voler comme l'hirondelle.

Oh, le rire des vents résonne, il résonne de toute leur force, du matin jusqu'au soir, et tard dans la nuit d'été.

(Au refrain)
