The Witch and The Donkey
When I was a child, a gypsy predicted that I
Having met a true love, would ruin my beloved's life
That I wouldn't forgive his infidelity, and would have harsh revenge
Not intentionally, but out of spite I'd turn him into a donkey
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw!
He was such a sweet lad, but why did he cheat on me?
That's when it all started, the prediction came true
All of a sudden I lost my self-control
And the poor one started to moan, covering with gray hair
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw!
I'm a witch, oh, I'm a witch
That's my uneasy destiny
I'm endued with power
But my love is ill-fated
And my beloved stayed to live with me forever
And he was at my heels here and there
At times I'd notice how my dear was suffering
And feeling pity for the donkey, I'd graze him on a meadow
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw!
And all along I wanted somehow to return my dear's appearance
I tried as hard as I could, but I just wasn't able to help him
He would hoof and bray
And wag his tail, he wanted to be a human
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw!
I'm a witch, oh, I'm a witch
That's my uneasy destiny
I'm endued with power
But my love is ill-fated
And when he realized that he was doomed to be a suffering donkey
Under my custody till his last day
He finally hastened his death:
He ate and drank something, and the poor wretch croaked
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw!
I'm a witch, oh, I'm a witch
That's my uneasy destiny
I'm endued with power
But my love is ill-fated
"You're a witch!" Oh, I'm a witch
That's my uneasy destiny
I'm endued with power
But my love is ill-fated
