by Emil Czedik (1853 - 1914), as Hugo Schalk

Schwälbchen, woher?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schwälbchen woher? 
Kommst aus der Heimat mein, 
Kennest mein Liebchen fein 
Weit über'm Meer? 
Schwälbchen woher?  

"Kenne Dein Lieb! 
Hat mir ja zugeschaut, 
Als ich mein Nest gebaut, 
Sah gar so trüb: 
Kenne Dein Lieb!"  

Schwälbchen gemach! 
Wirst nach dem Süden hin 
Wieder im Herbste zieh'n, 
Komme ich nach; 
Schwälbchen gemach!  

Hole Dich ein. 
Eh' Du dein Nest gebaut, 
Ist sie mir angetraut, 
Ist sie schon mein, 
Hole Dich ein!
