As Happy As a Swallow
Happy as this beautiful bird of nature,
Which can easily find its food.
Happy as the bird of paradise,
Which gives hope to the destitute.
Darling, spring comes once a year,
Your beauty is sublime and inexplicable.
Come to my window before sunset,
Come visit me at the barn.
Happy as a swallow of the meadow,
The one who knows how to enjoy life,
And who can sing the heroic odes of yesteryear.
You, the bird of freedom and of a perpetual spring,
My heart and my soul crave for you, you are my happiness,
My luck lady, and the sincere friend of my pretty flowers.
