我的英文名字不時有人問到，可能是 DONNA， DONNA， DONNA 那首歌.

Donna means "freedom" 

"Donna Donna"

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.

[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.

The name and song "Donna" carry deep meaning, touching on themes of freedom, personal character, and history.

Here is what "Donna" signifies:

1. Meaning of the Name

• Origin & Translation: In Hebrew (and various Mediterranean roots), Donna means "freedom" or a free woman. It is also historically used as a title of respect (similar to "lady" or "madonna").
  
  
• Personal Resonance: For anyone drawn to the name, it often represents a deep yearning for inner liberation, breaking free from mental boxes or limitations, and following one's true calling or mission.
  
  

2. The Meaning of the Song ("Donna, Donna")

The famous song referenced in connection with the name—often known as "Donna, Donna" (originally a Yiddish song titled "Dana Dana" or "Dos Kelbl" by Sholom Secunda and Aaron Zeitlin)—is a poignant allegory:

• The Metaphor of the Calf and the Swallow: The song tells the story of a calf being led to market in a wagon with a mournful eye, while a swallow flies high, swift, and free in the sky above.
  
  
• The Message of Freedom vs. Conformity: The lyrics contrast the calf—which represents those who accept bondage, complain about fate, or remain easily bound and slaughtered without knowing why—with the swallow, which represents those who value freedom, break through limitations, and learn to fly.
  
  
• Emotional Depth: It serves as a reminder to transcend conventional boundaries, reject endless complaining about circumstance, and choose courage, freedom, and self-actualization instead.
• 
  

你想做小牛，不斷埋怨命運，換來的只是是悲鳴的哀號， 還是突破思想的框框，好像飛燕般飛翔天際？在我搞飛躍夢境工作坊之前，我發幾次飛翔夢，我並不知道前路如何走，但深感有一個mission 在drive 我跳出自己的舊信念。做自己渴望做的事情！ Donna 在以色列語中意思是：自由！正表達了我渴望得到心靈上的自由！

一輛開往市集的馬車上，

有一頭眼神憂鬱的小牛。

在它上方，一隻燕子，

輕盈地飛翔在天空。

[合唱：]

風兒在笑，

它們盡情地笑著。

整日不停地笑，

直到半個夏夜。

唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜；唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜。

唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜；唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜。

「別抱怨了！」農夫說，

“誰讓你做一頭小牛？

為什麼你沒有翅膀飛翔，

像那隻驕傲自由的燕子一樣？ 」

[合唱：]

風兒在笑，

它們盡情地笑著。

整日不停地笑，

直到半個夏夜。

唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜；唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐。

唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜；唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐。

小牛輕易被捆綁宰殺，

卻不知緣由。

但凡珍視自由的人，

都像燕子學會了飛翔。

[合唱：]

風兒在歡笑，

它們盡情地歡笑。

整日歡笑，

夏夜的一半也都在歡笑。

唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜；唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐。

唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐娜；唐娜，唐娜，唐娜，唐。
