The whole package works perfectly together. I cannot be too envious of that acoustic quitar. It is one of the brightest and best sounding I have heard!!!
Very, very beautiful... What can one say? Very much achieved, one of the best versions I've ever heard. And it almost makes me cry every time. Thank you so much.
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
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:)
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 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.
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."
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.
great !

"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*

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

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.
