aru hareta hiru sagari ichiba e tsuzuku michi
nibasha ga GOTOGOTO koushi wo nosete yuku
kawaii koushi urarete yuku yo
kanashisouna hitomi de miteiru yo
DONA DONA DONA DONA koushi wo nosete
DONA DONA DONA DONA nibasha ga yureru
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
aoizora soyogu kaze tsubame ga tobikau
nibasha ga ichiba e koushi wo nosete yuku
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 DON
DONA DONA DONA DONA DONA DONA DONA DON
In the blue sky, the swallows wing on a gentle breeze
As the cart bears the calf to market
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
