|:Adonde ir· la bella golondrina sin parar,
                                         en busca de algo que perdiÛ,
                                         quiz·s un dulce amor,
                                         o si en el viento gemir· angustiada,
                                         buscando abrigo y no lo encontrar·.:|

                                         Junto a mi lecho le pondré su nido
                                         En donde puede la estación pasar.
                                         Yo también estoy en la región perdido,
                                         O cielo santo y sin poder volar!

The Swallow

                           To far off lands, the swallow now is speeding
                           For warmer climes and sun-drenched foreign shores
                           While cooler breezes tell of summer fading
                           My heart with you, into the heavens will soar.

                           Oh graceful swallow bear a message of love
                           For on your journey, lies the land of my heart
                           As down you sweep, shed my blessings upon them
That tell of love which in my heart still burns

               To far off lands, the swallow now is speeding
               For warmer climes and sun-drenched foreign shores
               While cooler breezes tell of summer fading
               My heart with you, into the heavens will soar

               Among those shores are all that I care or live for
               My home my loved ones, waiting for my return
               Then glide downwards as you see from above
               A sea swept isle from which we had to part

               To far off lands, the swallow now is speeding
               For warmer climes and sun-drenched foreign shores
               While cooler breezes tell of summer fading
               My heart with you, into the heavens will soar

               Each winter long console me in my dreaming
               And you fond swallow on your gleaming wings
               Will speed as I would wish I could go speeding
               Straight to their hearts, and with you my love bring.
