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.
