This is a traditional Yiddish folk song that was translated into English in the 1950s.
The calf represents identification with the body, which renders the animal miserable, while the swallow represents identification with the soul, which makes one free.

Me's Album

Donna, Donna

our forest

"Once a child, now a man" Come bring your strength, I'll be the judge of that. Once you said I won't understand, come bring your sins I'll be the judge of that. 7 years she's kept you there I'll make a home you know how much I care. Once you're with her, the world goes dark. I love to see you when you're lonely I love to touch you when I'm sad. If it's all true that you're going back to town, when will you release me from holding you down?

Come Back Soon

Suck the sugar off your finger
It's the memories that make me linger
And long for someone I used to know
Replaced by coke and TV dinners
You just listen to the buzzing
And talk to yourself among other things

So you think you can dance
So you're known around the world
So you're tired of moving houses
You ask why they're throwing stones
So you're gonna build a new one
So you're gonna be the greatest

So you think you can dance
So you're known around the world
So you're tired of moving houses
So you're gonna build that rocket
When you get up off that floor
Said you would have called your girl
But she's dressed up like a whore
You can't stand to see her stand up
It's a pain to see you close up
See the dreams fade from your eyes
As I bore you with the build-up
So you're gonna find a way
But not today.
