Golondrinas Lyrics in English Carlos Gardel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Golondrinas by Carlos Gardel from Spanish to English.
Golondrinas de un solo verano
One-Summer Swallows
Con ansias constantes de cielos lejanos
With constant longing for distant skies
Alma criolla, errante y viajera
Creole, wandering and traveling soul
Querer detenerla es una quimera
Wanting to stop it is a chimera
Golondrinas con fiebre en las alas
Swallows with wing fever
Peregrinas borrachas de emoción
Pilgrims drunk with emotion
Siempre sueña con otros caminos
Always dream of other paths
La brújula loca de tu corazón
The crazy compass of your heart
Criollita de mi pueblo, pebeta de mi barrio
Creole from my town, pebeta from my neighborhood
La golondrina un día su vuelo detendrá
The swallow will one day stop her flight
No habrá nube en sus ojos de vagas lejanías
There will be no cloud in her eyes of vague distances
Y en tus brazos amantes su nido construirá
And in your loving arms her nest will build
Su anhelo de distancias se aquietará en tu boca
Her longing for distance will be stilled 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
Creole from my town, pebeta from my neighborhood
Con las alas plegadas también yo he de volver
With my wings folded I too must return
En tus rutas que cruzan los mares
On your routes that cross the seas
Florece una estela azul de cantares
A blue trail of songs blooms
Y al conjuro de nuevos paisajes
And to 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 footprints
Tu solo destino es siempre volar
Your only destiny is always to fly
