Translation

Golondrinas de un solo verano

Swallows of a single summer

Con ansias constantes de cielos lejanos

With constant yearnings for distant skies

Alma criolla, errante y viajera

Soul, Creole, wandering and traveling

Querer detenerla es una quimera

To try to stop her is a chimera


Golondrinas con fiebre en las alas

Swallows with fever in their wings

Peregrinas borrachas de emoción

Pilgrims drunk with emotion

Siempre sueña con otros caminos

Always dreaming of other paths

La brújula loca de tu corazón

The crazy compass of your heart


Criollita de mi pueblo, pebeta de mi barrio

Little Creole from my town, girl from my neighborhood

La golondrina un día su vuelo detendrá

The swallow will one day stop its flight

No habrá nube en sus ojos de vagas lejanías

There will be no cloud in its eyes of vague distances

Y en tus brazos amantes su nido construirá

And in your loving arms, it will build its nest


Su anhelo de distancias se aquietará en tu boca

Its longing for distances will be calmed in your mouth

Con la dulce fragancia de tu viejo querer

With the sweet fragrance of your old love

Criollita de mi pueblo, pebeta de mi barrio

Little Creole from my town, girl from my neighborhood

Con las alas plegadas también yo he de volver

With folded wings, I too will return


En tus rutas que cruzan los mares

In your routes that cross the seas

Florece una estela azul de cantares

A blue trail of songs flourishes

Y al conjuro de nuevos paisajes

And at the spell of new landscapes

Suena intensamente tu claro cordaje

Your clear strings sound intensely


Con tu dulce sembrar de armonías

With your sweet sowing of harmonies

Tierras lejanas te vieron pasar

Distant lands saw you pass

Otras lunas siguieron tus huellas

Other moons followed your footsteps

Tu solo destino es siempre volar

Your only destiny is always to fly
