Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe, Du fliegst auf und singst so früh, Streuest durch die Himmelsbläue Deine süße Melodie. Die da schlafen noch am Morgen, Alle Liebenden in Ruh', Mit dem zwitschernden Gesange Die Versunk'nen weckest du. Auf! nun auf! ihr Liebesschläfer, Weil die Morgenschwalbe rief: Denn die Nacht wird den betrügen, Der den hellen Tag verschlief.

Querida golondrina
Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)
Querida golondrina, pequeña golondrina, vuelas y cantas tan temprano, expandiendo por el azul del cielo tu dulce melodía. A los que aún duermen por la mañana, a todos los plácidos enamorados, con tus gorjeantes cantos despiertas a los extasiados. ¡Vamos, arriba!, amantes dormilones, que la golondrina de la mañana os llama: pues la noche engañará al que durmió el claro día.
