La golondrina [English translation]

Where will it go

Swiftly and fatigued (1)

You, o swallow

That flies away from here

For if in the wind

You will be lost

Seeking shelter

And will not find it

Here by my bed

I will put your nest

Where you can pass

The season by

For I dwell also

In the land of the lost

O Holy Heaven

And can no longer fly

I'll leave as well

My glamorous country

And this house

Who watched me being born

My life today is

Full of distress and wandering

And I can not

Return home

Beloved bird

Beloved pilgrim

My heart

Draws near to thine

I will hear your singing

O Tender swallow

I will remember my homeland and cry

I will remember my homeland and cry
