(Aaron Zeitlin - lyrics, Sholom Secunda - music)Originally "Dana Dana" this song was written in Yiddish for the musical play "Esterke" (1940-1941) during the Nazi era. It was banned in South Korea as a communist song.The song is subject to various interpretations but the calf is generally believed to represent a Jew being taken to one of the German concentration camps by the farmer, representing the Nazis. The swallow at first may signify those who are not being subjected to persecution, but by the end of the song it represents the free spirit of the Jew which remains free whatever is suffered by the physical body.Secunda translated the song into English, but it did not become popular until it was translated as "Donna Donna" in 1956 by Arthur Kevess and Teddi Schwartz. It really took off when Joan Baez sang it in 1960.Other recordings include Donovan (1965), The Chad Mitchell Trio and Theodore Bikel.
