A donde irá
veloz y fatigada
la golondrina
que de aquí se va
por si en el viento
se hallara extraviada
buscando abrigo
y no lo encontrara.
Junto a mi lecho
le pondré su nido
en donde pueda
la estación pasar
también yo estoy
en la región perdido
OH Cielo Santo!
y sin poder volar.
Deje también
mi patria idolatrada
esa mansión
que me miró nacer
mi vida es hoy
errante y angustida
y ya no puedo
a mi mansión volver.
Ave querida
amada peregrina
mi corazón
al tuyo acercare
voy recordando
tierna golondrina
recordare
mi patria y llorare.
