Lyrics and translation Nacha Guevara - Volverán las Oscuras Golondrinas

Volverán las Oscuras Golondrinas

Volverán las oscuras golondrinas
En tu balcón sus nidos a colgar
Y otra vez con el ala en tus cristales
Jugando llamarán

Pero aquellas que el vuelo refrenaban
La hermosura y la dicha contemplar
Aquellas que aprendieron nuestros nombres
Esas no volverán

Esas no volverán
Esas no volverán
Esas no volverán

Volverán las tupidas madreselvas
De tu jardín las tapias a escalar
Y otra vez a la tarde aún más hermosas
Sus flores abrirán

Pero aquellas cuajadas de rocío
Cuyas gotas mirábamos temblar
Y caer como lágrimas del día
Esas no volverán

Esas no volverán
Esas no volverán
Esas no volverán

Esas no volverán
Esas no volverán
Esas no volverán

Volverán del amor en tus oídos
Las palabras ardientes a sonar
Tu corazón de su profundo sueño
Tal vez despertará

Pero muda y absorta y de rodillas
Como se adora a Dios ante su altar
Como yo te he querido, desengáñate
Así no te querrán

Así no te querrán
Así no te querrán
Así no te querrán

Esas no volverán (esas no volverán)
Esas no volverán (esas no volverán)
Esas no
Volverán

The Dark Swallows Will Return

The dark swallows will return
To hang their nests on your balcony
And once again with their wings against your windows
They will playfully call

But those that held back their flight
To contemplate beauty and happiness
Those that learned our names
Those will never return

Those will never return
Those will never return
Those will never return

The dense honeysuckles will return
To climb the walls of your garden
And once again in the evening even more beautiful
Their flowers will open

But those laden with dew
Whose drops we watched tremble
And fall like tears of the day
Those will never return

Those will never return
Those will never return
Those will never return

Those will never return
Those will never return
Those will never return

In your ears, the ardent words
Of love will sound again
Your heart, from its deep sleep
Perhaps, will awaken

But silent and absorbed and on my knees
As one adores God before his altar
As I have loved you, be undeceived
No one will love you like that

No one will love you like that
No one will love you like that
No one will love you like that

Those will never return (those will never return)
Those will never return (those will never return)
Those will
Never return
