Swallow swallow, little swallow
Must you fly away?
Why must you leave us, every summer grieve us
Wouldn't you like to stay?
I must be gone, autumn is come
The leaves are turning to brown
If I don't fly then, I will surely die then
I could not return
Swallow swallow, little swallow
Can I come with you?
The wind is getting colder, I am growing older
Wouldn't you take me too?
Come with me, over the sea
Leave the mist and the rain
Come and find the sun now, summertime is gone now
I must go again
Swallow swallow, little swallow
Time is drifting by
You must go without me, never think about me
Never reason why
You had your chance to join in the dance
Now it's too late to begin
The olive trees are calling, but here the leaves are falling
You'll never see me again
