Schwälbchen, woher?
 (Sung text for setting by F. Abt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schwälbchen woher? 
Kommst von des Karstes Höh'n, 
Kennest mein Liebchen schön 
Jenseits vom 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 du im Herbste hin 
Über die Berge zieh'n, 
Flög' ich dir nach; 
Schwälbchen gemach!  

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