LYRICS (English translation)
Golondrinas
by Carlos Gardel & Alfredo Le Pera

Swallows of a single summer
Anxious always for distant skies
Wild and wandering criollo heart
Trying to stop her is hopeless
A swallow with fever in her wings
Pilgrims, drunk with emotion
Always dreaming of other roads
The crazy compass of your heart
Flower of my town, sweet girl from my neighborhood
One day the swallow will settle down

No longer will her eyes be filled with vague horizons
And in your loving arms she will build her nest
Her longing for distances will be quenched on your lips
With the sweet perfume of your true love
Flower of my town, sweet girl from my neighborhood
With folded wings I too will turn home

On your paths that cross the oceans
Blossoms a blue wake of song
Conjuring new vistas
Your music rings clearly
Sowing harmonies eternally
Distant lands saw you pass
Your wings followed other moons
Your destiny is to fly

Flower of my town, sweet girl from my neighborhood
The swallow will one day settle down
No longer will her eyes be filled
with vague horizons
And in your loving arms
She will build her nest
Her longing for distances
will be quenched on your lips
With the sweet perfume of your true love
Flower of my town
Sweet girl from my neighborhood
With folded wings I too will turn home
