【la golondrina】in Spanish

Narciso Serradel Serradel Sevilla (1843-1910), a native of Alvarado, Veracruz, Mexico, was both a doctor and a composer. During the war against the French-sponsored Mexican Emperor Maximiliano, Serradel fought against the French Imperial troops alongside General Zaragoza. He was taken prisoner during the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, and deported to France. He is most famous for his popular song of farewell, "La Golondrina". This song is a favorite of expatriate Mexicans, who, like the wandering swallow in the song, shed a tear when they think of their homeland far away. It is often requested at the funerals of Mexican-Americans.

我亲爱的燕子你急急忙忙飞向何方，
你在这人间来回飞翔。
你寻找你的家，你可爱的老家，
那泥巢里还有三只小燕。
啊现在你看你可爱的家正在毁坏，
被那寒冷无情的风吹落。
这就是你的家，被毁坏的老家
它将永远的落在地面上。
我像你一样，到处流浪，
夏天的时光，依然明媚。
在哪充满自由幸福的地方，
现在是多么寂寞多么凄凉。

啊什么时候，才能像你一样，
在蓝色的天空唱着嘹亮的歌，
在哪天空，自由的迎风飞翔，
但命运没有给我一双翅膀。

A donde ir
veloz y fatigada
la golondrina
que de aqu se va
por si en el viento
se hallara extraviada
buscando abrigo
y no lo encontrara.

Junto a mi lecho
le pondr su nido
en donde pueda
la estacin pasar
tambin yo estoy
en la regin perdido
OH Cielo Santo!
y sin poder volar.
