Swallow

Swallow, swallow, flying low
Along the dike where willows grow
Yesterday you flew high
Above the grain in the air so dry

Swallow, swallow, boundless bird
Unperturbed without a word
Catching insects in your flight
Tirelessly day and night

Swallow
Swallow
Come back

Swallow
Swallow
Come back

Swallow, Swallow, you are young
Wish that you live long
Wish that you come back to breed
With many hungry mouths to feed

Swallow
Swallow
Come back

Swallow
Swallow
Come back
