The song soon fell into relative obscurity, but enjoyed renewed popularity in the mid-1960s after being recorded by popular American folk singer Joan Baez and several others. “Dona Dona” (also “Donna Donna” or “Dana Dana”) is a Yiddish song written by Sholom Secunda in 1940 or 1941 for a stage production called Esterke.
