Re: "Dona Dona" vs "Doe-na Doe-na"



  ----- Original Message ----- 
  ... Joan Baez ...evidently decided it should be pronounced "Doe-na"--and 
that's how she said it.

  In the sixties, the french singer Claude Francois sang it "Dona dona". But I 
don't know if he ever heard this song before the Joan Baez' interpretation, as 
he was born in Alexandria (Egypt). Anyway, the french words have nothing to do 
with the original text.
