Romanized Lyrics


aru hareta hirusagari   ichiba e tsuzuku michi
nibasha ga GOTOGOTO   ko-ushi wo nosete yuku
kawaii ko-ushi   urarete yuku yo
kanashisou na hitomi de   mite iru yo

DONA DONA DONA DONA   ko-ushi wo nosete
DONA DONA DONA DONA   nibasha ga yureru

aoi sora soyogu kaze   tsubame ga tobi-kau
nibasha ga ichiba e   ko-ushi 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
Translated Lyrics


One clear afternoon, on the road to market,
the cart rocks gently, carrying a calf.
The adorable calf will be sold,
with a mournful look in its eye.

Dona dona dona dona   With the calf on board,
Dona dona dona dona   the cart ever sways.

Blue skies, gentle breezes, a swallow flits through the sky.
The cart carries 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

Dona dona dona   Dona dona dona   Dona
