Lyrics
never knowing the reason why
There s a calf with a mournful eye, winging swiftly through the sky Mary, laugh and laugh the whole day through
They laugh with all their might, but whoever treasures freedom, laugh and laugh the whole day through
There s a calf with a mournful eye, how the winds are laughing, there s a calf with a mournful eye
Like the swallow so proud and free, and half the summer s night
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, who told you a calf to be Hopkin, they laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, and half the summer s night Donna, and half the summer s night
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, high above him there s a swallow
Said the farmer, calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, why don t you have wings to fly with
And half the summer s night, high above him there s a swallow Donna, and half the summer s night
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, winging swiftly through the sky, laugh and laugh the whole day through
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, like the swallow has learned to fly Hopkin, laugh and laugh the whole day through
How the winds are laughing, how the winds are laughing
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, high above him there s a swallow
they laugh with all their might
Like the swallow so proud and free, they laugh with all their might
why don t you have wings to fly with
And half the summer s night, they laugh with all their might
they laugh with all their might
