Lyrics Revolutionary Girl Utena - Dona Dona

Это одна из моих любимых мелодий. Исходно - Еврейская народная. В мире считается американской народной, а когда я пел ее американцам они восхищенно спрашивали: что это за музыка?. А здесь она звучит по японски.
Подстрочник

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.
Refrain: How the winds are laughing,
they laugh with all their might,
laugh and laugh the whole day through,
and half the summers night,
Dona dona
Stop complaining! said the farmer,
Who told you a calf to be?
Why don't you have wings to fly with
like a swallow so proud and free ? .
..dona dona...
Calves are easily bound and sloughtered,
never knowing the reason why,
but who ever treasures freedom,
like the swallow has learned to fly.
