(translation)
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
[Chorus]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
"Stop complaining!" said the farmer
"Who told you a calf to be?
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free?"
[Chorus]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
[outro]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don

(50,254 posts)3. Irhal (Egyptian for "Get Out!"), by Ramy Essam
Ramy wrote and sang this in Tahrir Square in Cairo, during the successful nonviolent movement to remove Hosni Mubarak. At times, there were 500,000 singing this song at once. The Egyptian Army arrested and Tasered Ramy for writing this. He know lives in Sweden and this song has traveled the world.
Here's a translation of the lyrics:
We are all united as one,
And what we ask for,
Is just one thing: GET OUT! GET OUT! (x3)
Down, Down Husni Mubarak! (x4)
The people demand: Bring down the regime! (x4)
He is going away. We are not going anywhere! (x4)
