  • DONNA DONNA ....... not dona dona!!!!!!!

  • 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 don Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona don
  • "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?"*

    Calves are easily bound and slaughtered

    Never knowing the reason why.

    But whoever treasures freedom,

    Like the swallow must learn to fly*

  • I love this song and you did this really well, so much feeling in it, nice! :)

  • great

  • Dona is a symbol for all the people who were slaughtered after travelling by train to Concentration Camps during WW2.

  • you're cool, man! =)

  • clearly the best cover...amazing...simply brilliant.. 5/5!!!!!!

  • we sing this in chours it sucks

  • simply great...

  • you play great!

  • A great cover!

  • nice rendition.

  • wonderful! I love this song

  • damn dude this guys brutal

  • Best acoustic version I've ever listened to. And the quality of the vid was very nice, too.

  • Thanks for sharing this!! I am an absolute beginner with the guitar and want to learn to fingerpick this song, so needed something like your video to see how to do it! Brilliant find:)

  • Sal, all your works are amazing, but I am puzzled as to the small rodent that makes a brief cameo at :11 What was that? And does it have a name?

  • The rodent is a my sister's 2 year old dog called Bonnie. It is some sort of King Charles Spaniel cross.

    Sal

  • @Homeslicebread Hahaha.

  • The song is really sad. You need to understand the lyrics. The strumming was great though. Sing it slower, it'll come out better

  • bleh it was a wpnderfull attempt, and an awsome guitar part, but this song is much sadder, and to tell u the honest truth, this song is better sung in hebrew

  • I felt maybe a couple of times you overexpressed lyrics but on the whole, wow, that was a stirring piece. Very well played.

  • great version of this old yiddish folk song.you have a good voice too.

  • je n aime pas cette version espagnole de donna donna mais bravo pour la guitare

  • I´m not quite sure if he understood the topic of this song.

    Sure there is space for interpretation but I think that you at least schould the main message.

    And regarding that this is turning around shoa it seems to be a very opinionated version of this great song.

    But nevertheless this was some good guitar playing.

  • no  .

  • It makes the song I don't know...

  • Yes, I must stand, this was a very nice interpretation of Dona!

  • I understand the deep implications of this song but you sing it so nicely and play it so brilliantly that it gives the song a whole new meaning, you actually make it a happy song which I found I allowed myself to enjoy.

  • That's really great guy. Have you ever thought of producing and selling your own music? ;)

    I'm really amazed.

  • Really great! Like the way you sing that song ;)

  • Excellant! Fine voice, superb guiter playing. This rendition is full of feeling and sincerity. Thank you!

  • is is wonderful...... thanx for posting the great video

  • very nice from u

  • excellent. I love this song. I learned it when it was very new and forgot it years ago. I'll have to re-learn and post it.

    Charsal

  • cool!! ur really good man i need the tabs of this song

  • this represents the holocaust u know. "calfs are easily bound and slaughtered, never knowing the reason y" means the jewish who were killed for no reason.also your suppose to clap at the "laugh the whole day through and... *CLAP* half the summers night" i learned it in school."

  • Wow, wonderful passion, talent, and voice. AAAA++++++++++++  Love it.

  • ...but that's what he's saying, he just has a snazzy accent.

  • is it "half the summer's night" or "half way through the night"?

  • "half the summer's night"

  • I had heard the same song with somewhat different wordings.

  • for example check out this video:

    watch?v=E9hFPPLWIRs

    the lyrics are somewhat different and I feel,is also more organised.

  • Secunda's lyrics are "halfway through the night"

  • you voice sounds classy

  • I love it

  • Just like we sing at the synagogue! Thanks!

  • Brilliant Sal, as all your video's are... wish I could play like you... practice,practice,practice

  • A lovely song and you rendition is from the heart. Thanks

  • another great job

  • You have a dog! Awesome guitar tunes

  • Cool, I had this song as a guitar lesson long time ago, but a bit simpler than the arrangement you're playing :)

  • I saw on YouTube a 10-minute segment of video from an old Bell Telephone Hour TV show. It showed a performance by the Chad Mitchell Trio, and they sang the song that Sal is singing in this video. I like both versions very much. Both interpretations are very good.

  • Very nice:D
