Donna-Donna - Sita (from the movie: GIE)

[viettuan224]

Donna donna 1. 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 down Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona don 2. "Stop complaining," said the farmer "Who told you a calf to be; Why don't you have wings to fly away Like the swallow so proud and free?"

[bennlonelyboy]

Gie (2005) is lifted from the book Notes of a Demonstrator by Riri Riza, get the Best Asian Feature Film at the Singapore International Film Festival 2006 and the Special Jury Award from the Asia Pacific Film Festival 2006

[dalusgembalus]

love you SITA!!!

[AlexDjumic]

Its actually about the Holocaust and what happened to all the jews

[donnabellecaunin1]

When I was 5 my father and tita Christy used to sing me this song, papa told me its a story of a calf and swallow,tita Christy told me its about the farmer and the calf, fourteen years later, my former boyfriend surprisingly sang this song for me, he told me its about Donna, twenty three years later, now being his wife, I still hear him singing this song...

[linkinpark11zaku]

i've sang this song so many times on primary school...i remember it always make me cry

[FeistyMalinois]

I first heard this song when I was in grade 6. I remember it vividly.... sung by Donovan, I have never forgotten it. It was profound. And I never thought of it as Islamic, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist or anything else.

[buddmar]

@FeistyMalinois But in truth it is a Jewish song, and this is an English translation of the original Yiddish lyrics. This song gave hope and comfort to the Jewish people during the Nazi era

[asemyakin]

It's part of Soe Hok Gie movie from Indonesia..

I saw some versions in this you tube..

but, I think this and one by Joan Baez are the coolest one...

not because I'm Indonesian...

but, it's trully great..

unfortunately, it's not whole part...

[PainLara]

Nice voice

[kunderemp]

Gue baru tahu.. jadi di OST-nya Gie, ada lagunya Joan Baez (Donna Donna) dan lagunya Bob Dylan (Like A Rolling Stone) dan mereka berdua (Dylan dan Baez) pernah sama-sama nyanyi di demonstrasi hak-hak sipil (Civil Rights March) di Washington pada tahun 1963.

Sekedar catatan, ketika dapat kesempatan ke Amerika Serikat, Gie membeli piringan hitam Baez tetapi sayangnya saat pulang dan transit di Sydney, Australia, piringan hitamnya disita karena dianggap komunis (ironis.. padahal Gie anti-komunis).

[BottiIS2]

maaf, soal Gie yang anti komunis, di catatan seorang demonstran dia sama sekali tidak mencerminkan anti komunis,

Gie bukan Kiri, maupun Kanan, saking Idealisnya dia sapmai tidak bisa memihak manapun,

[dobritaalmasi]

Wonderful song,beautiful voice! I searched so many time! I'm so happy to finded! I lake't so much!!

[JustBeMySelf34]

[buddmar]

It is interesting that this Yiddish song, which gave so much hope and comfort to the Jewish people in the last century now speaks to Indonesians, half a world away.

[babaliong88]

sang by a moslem, in one of most testing time of the republic, fighting communism, a country that until today has not recognized Israel as a state.

[dalusgembalus]

and your point is....?

[agungantonius]

Do you know that this song is originally a yiddish song..??

It means the writer of the lyrics and the composer were jews..

Nice uh..??

[BottiIS2]

yup, just because the NAZI's attack the Poland and Russia, Nice song

[vsovereign3]

@babaliong88

look at what the israeli settlers are doing in the west bank...is it a wonder why Indonesia doesn't have diplomatic relationship with israel?

[anafr5]

@vsovereign3

YES, THE SO CALLED ARABS PROSPER UNDER THEM AND HAVE THE LONGEST LIFE EXPECTANCY AND HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING THAN IN "ARAB" REPUBLIC OF EGYPT.

[974blue]

I really like this YIDDISH song and I've heard it several times in English,this one is one of the finest.

Where can I find this version,complete, and who is singing in the film?Thanks..

[venomscorpion]

this rendition is sung by Sita. I think you can find this version in the album of Original Soundtrack of Gie. But I think this Gie album is only available in Indonesia.

[974blue]

thanks a lot:I think I could find it in The Saturn Dome in Köln: I've nearly found everything there!Thanks for the singer's name

[haiLucuSekali]

there is no complete version bcoz this is a part from the movies,,

the singer's name is sita,,

i agree with u,,this version is one of the best,,

[venomscorpion]

I think you can find the complete version in the CD album of OST of Gie. I used to have the mp3 of this version.

[juragan70]

@974blue : In this film it was sung by an Indonesian singer named Sita.

The movie is about a Chinese-Indonesian student activist in Indonesia in 60's.

[kanazef]

@974blue this song is indonesian movie..u can search her name SITA :) btw..i love her voice..

[rifki8876]

[FreakshowVampire]

LOVE THIS SONG!

[grw1000]

That's the loveliest version of Dona Dona I've heard, makes me want to see the film. Incredible how a song born of suffering in one continent can now speak in different ways to the peoples of other continents and other times. May your joys overcome your sorrows, George.

[MichinBumbo3Dapo3r]

do you know where can i find this song???

really want to hav it..

[SLEGERS2806]

This is my piece of song that i have to sing at my examination in june. With piano .

[MichinBumbo3Dapo3r]

[SLEGERS2806]

my teacher has them, it's in a book with american folk songs, all i know it's a yellow/orange book.

[YSA88]

This song make me aware of the cows pains and suffering before being slaughther, and will prevent me from eating them

[MusicMiseryLove]

[yogifiantarto]

"indonesia in the mid sixties....the year of living dangerously"

NO, DANGEROUSLY BUT BEAUTIFUL

[dareman83]

No, dangerously beautiful.

[mara235]

This is one of the finest versions - the film of the young man looking at her and falling in love is great too!!

[vsovereign]

indonesia in the mid sixties....the year of living dangerously

[Pepsknott]

Donovan, a chilled out folk singer in the nineteen sixties sang this but this version is brill!!!

[eko11415]

Please...gue cari kaset soundtrack GIE susah banget

[bitra2007]

Suara Sita di film Gie ini tidak terdengar "kontemporer". Maksudnya, ssuaranya cocok dengan setting film Gie yang ada di tahun 1960-an. Kayanya penyanyi aslinya Chad Mitchell Trio dan Roger McGuinn ya? Saya liat di bagian related videos...

[abahfina]

the most wonderful voice in Indonesia.

We heard this voice more and more and more and more at our room at PJJ PGSD FKIP UHAMKA

[Cathyhippyxx]

Does anyone know the origins of this song? I have heard a version by Joan Baez, a vietnamese version, a version in what i think is yiddish, and this...

[muchmorecash]

It is originally a yiddish song

[doushikunlun]

wah mantaph,jadi inget jaman sma, ini film buat tugas bahasa indo pas sma. wkwk

[SwandaruGeni]

I think I fall in love....

[kurikera]

I really like it...great and what a voice!

Thanks

[chairilmax]

i love this one..

[classix8]

This is an indonesian movie.

Indonesia has a great singer isn't it??

[mashazmi]

beautiful song...make me rileks....

[Karaleva7x]

Wonderful!

What a voice!

I was lokking for this song. After watching the video I was looking for the movie, because the comments on this were interesting.

Somebody knows, where to buy the movie?

Thanks!

On a waggon 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.
