DescriptionTranslation of lyrics from Japanese, by Kuniko and Kendall Brown:
The Swallow Has Gone (German, Die Schwälble zie het, and Japanese lyrics)
"The swallow has gone, has gone,
It set out for a warm home.
So sad to be left behind,
All alone in my house.
To journey through lovely countries
Now, Swallow, come, come quickly!
Be my guide."

"The swallow has gone, has gone,
It set out for a warm home.
So sad to be left behind,
All alone in my house.
To journey through lovely countries
Now, Swallow, come, come quickly!
Be my guide."
