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

Schwälbchen, woher?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schwälbchen woher? 
Kommst [aus der Heimat mein]1, 
Kennest mein Liebchen [fein]2 
[Weit über'm]3 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]4 hin 
[Wieder im Herbste]5 zieh'n, 
[Komme ich]6 nach; 
Schwälbchen gemach!  

Hole Dich ein. 
Eh' Du dein Nest gebaut, 
[Ist]7 sie mir angetraut, 
Ist sie schon mein, 
Hole Dich ein!
