Alegre golondrina

Happy Swallow

Alegre golondrina

In my hut, no prayer is saidAllá en mi choza no se coge una plegaria
Only the rooster sings to the hen (repeat)Sólo le canta el gallo a la gallina (bis)
Why are you happy, swallowPorque vas alegre golondrina
Visiting my lonely hut (repeat)A visitar mi choza solitaria (bis)
In my hut, I have always waited for youAllá en mi choza siempre te esperado
To tell you, happy swallowPara decirte alegre golondrina
If with time we unite our livesSi con el tiempo unimos nuestras vidas
In my little house that I have offered you so much (repeat)En mi chocita que tanto te he brindado (bis)

Always dressed in black velvetSiempre vestida de negro terciopelo
You wander the world as a pilgrim (repeat)Vas por el mundo errante peregrina (bis)
Why aren't you happy, swallowPorque no vas alegre golondrina
My heart is also in mourning (repeat)Mi corazón también esta de duelo (bis)
In my hut, I have always waited for youAllá en mi choza siempre te he esperado
To tell you, happy swallowPara decirte alegre golondrina
If with time we unite our livesSi con el tiempo unimos nuestras vidas
In my little house that I have offered you so much (repeat)En mi chocita que tanto te he brindado (bis)
