Tutte ll'amice mieje sanno ca tuorne,
ca si' partuta e no ca mm'hê lassato.
Só' già tre ghiuorne.
Nisciuno 'nfin'a mo s'è 'mmagginato
ca tu, crisciuta 'ncopp' 'o core mio,
mm'hê ditto addio.
E torna rundinella,
torna a stu nido mo ch'è primmavera.
I' lasso 'a porta aperta quanno è 'a sera
speranno 'e te truvà
vicino a me.
Vulanno pe' cittá nove e stramane,
tu no, nun puó sapé che te ne vène
ogge o dimane.
E si nun truove maje chi te vò' bene
quanto te ne vogl'io
ll'amice 'o ssanno
che faje vulanno?
E torna rundinella,
…………………….
Torna. Ll'amice mieje sanno ca tuorne.
Tutte se só' 'nfurmate e a tutte dico:
"Dint'a sti juorne".
Uno sultanto, era 'o cchiù buono amico,
nun ll'aggio visto e nun c'è cchiù venuto,
fosse partuto?
E torna rundinella,
Torna a stu nido mo ch’e` primmavera
Si ‘a notte pe chi sa siente nu lagno
Songo io ca chiagne
Pe te fa turna`
…………………….
All my friends know that you come back,
That you left and not that you left me
It's already three days.
No one has imagined until now
That you, grown up on my heart,
You told me: Goodbye!
And back, swallow,
Come back to this nest now that it's spring!
I leave the door open when it's evening
Hoping to find you
Close to me.
Flying for new and distant cities,
You can not know what happens to you
Today or tomorrow.
And if you never find someone who loves you
As much as I want,
Friends know it,
What are you doing flying?
And back, swallow,
Come back to this nest now that it's spring!
I leave the door open when it's evening
Hoping to find you
Close to me.
Back! My friends know that you come back.
Everyone got informed and I tell everyone:
"In these days".
Only one, he was the best friend,
I have not seen him and he has not come.
Was it a party?
And back, swallow,
Come back to this nest now that it's spring!
I leave the door open when it's evening
Hoping to find you
Close to me.
