Die Schwälble ziehet fort, ziehet fort, Weit an en andre Ort; Und i sitz' do in Traurigkeit, Es isch a böse, schwere Zeit. Könnt' i no fort durch d' Welt, fort durch d' Welt, Weil mir's hie gar net, gar net g'fällt! O Schwälble, komm, i bitt', i bitt'! Zeig mir de Weg und nimm mi mit!

De zwaluw vliegt ver weg, vliegt ver weg, Ver over heg en steg; En ik zit hier in treurigheid, Het is een boze, zware tijd. Kon ik nu ook maar weg, ook maar weg, Want ‘k heb hier niets dan, niets dan pech! O zwaluw, kom, o wee, o wee! Wijs mij de weg en neem mij mee!
