Who knows, little swallow
Plea talassa se guaddhi
From where you’ve flown
Ce aputte ste’ ce ftazzi
Which seas you’ve crossed
M’utto kalo cero
To arrive with the fair weather
Vasta to petton aspro
You’ve a snowy breast
Mavre vasta tes ale
Jet-black wings
Stavri kulor de mare
A back that’s blue as the sea
Ce i kuta en’diu nifti
And a long, forked tail
Kaimmeno mbro sti talassa
I walk along the shore
Evo se kanono
And watch you
Lio ngherni, lio kalei
As you soar and swoop
Lio nghizzi to nero
To skim the waves
Ma su tipo mu lei
But not a word do you say to me
Ja possa sse roto
However much I ask you
Lio ngherni, lio kalei
As you soar and swoop
Lio nghizzi to nero
To skim the waves
