Rundinella [English translation]

All my friends think that you'll come back,

That you've just gone away but haven't left me.

Three days already.

No one of them can still imagine

That you, who lived in my heart,

You've said me: Goodbye!

Come back, little swallow,

Come back to my nest now that it's spring!

I leave my door open every evening

In the hope of seeing you here

Beside me.

Flying across new and distant towns,

You no, you can't know what happens to you

Today or tomorrow.

And if you don't find the man who loves you

As much as I love you,

My friends know it,

Why do you fly?

Come back, little swallow,

-----------------------------------

Come back! My friends think you'll come back.

They have asked me about you and I tell them:

"In the coming days".

Only one of them, who was my best friend,

I haven't seen him , he has not come.

Has he gone away?

Come back, little swallow,
