The swallow (Audio)

To far off lands, the swallow now is speeding
for warmer climes and sun-drenched foreign shores
while cooler breezes tell of summer fading
my heart with you, into the heavens will soar.

$
Oh graceful swallow, bear a message of love,
for on your journey lies the land of my heart
Then glide downwards as you see from above
a sea swept isle from which we had to part.

Among those shores are all that I care or live for,
my home, my loved ones, waiting for my return
As down you sweep, shed my blessings upon them,
that tell of love which in my heart still burns.

Each winter long console me in my dreaming,
that you fond swallow on your gleaming wing
Will speed as i would wish i could go speeding,
straight to their hearts, and with you my love bring.

dal $egno al fine
