Donna Donna [English translation]

Once upon a time, there was a little boy

Who lived in a big house

In his life, there was only joy and happiness

And yet, deep in his heart

He wanted to become bigger

He dreamed of being a man

Every night he imagined it

When his mother sang a lullaby for him

Donna Donna Donna Donna

You will regret the time

Donna Donna Donna Donna

When you were a child

And then he grew up, and then he left

And then he discovered life

The frustrated loves, the hunger and the fear

And often, deep in his heart

He looking back at his childhood

Dreaming about the past

And sadly he reflected

And he remembered

Donna Donna Donna Donna

You will regret the time

Donna Donna Donna Donna

When you were a child

Sometimes I think about this little boy,

This little boy I was.
