《暢談經典、閒話金曲》- DONNA DONNA
喜歡民歌或學過英文民歌嘅人士, 一定有幾首必學過與心愛嘅民歌, "Donna Donna" 係其中之一,
最多人聽嘅相信都係 Joan Baez。呢首曲原自1940-1941一齣猶太人舞臺劇 "Esterke" 嘅樂曲,
節奏與編曲有不同以適合劇情而定。原曲意思講述一頭放在馬車上嘅小牛犢, 要送到市埸上屠宰,
途中自怨自艾問, 點解唔似燕子同風一樣可以飛走呢? 唱出當畤猶太人被大屠殺旳心聲。

歌詞中的" Donna Donna "在猶太文 " Yiddish" 中為 " Dana Dana " 係猶太人一位神 "Adonai"
的變體。呢首歌曲同樣被譯成多種語言唱出, 由不同歌者演譯, 都係唱出人類和平共處嘅心聲。

1940 - "DANA DANA" - Yiddish 猶太文
         Music : Sholom Secunda
         Lyric: Aaron Zeitlin

" DONNA DONNA " - Lyric
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.

Dona, dona, dona, dona,
Dona, dona, dona, do,
Dona, dona, dona, dona,
Dona, dona, dona, do.

"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 ... (Repeat)

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
Like the swallow has learned to fly

1968 - Patty Duk
