Lyrics in English:

Swallows

A swallow would grow
Into a cross or an arrow
Into the dark of a barrel
Into a fishing tackle
Or a core of an apple

A swallow can be:
A full stop or a comma,
A dot-and-dash
Or a semicolon.
An apostrophe of a lightning
Or someone’s handwriting.
A poetical row on a shore
Licked by the waves off.

A swallow washes the milky
Insides of the lowering sky,
It winds its way smooth and silky,
It abandons the nest to fly.

Its home is a terrace and roof,
Its daily routine – to wake up and move.

A swallow is hunting after
Mosquitos, flies, and the same.
We’re tracking it with a laughter
Taking it as the game.
It goes in a downward spiral
Cutting the air by tail,
A swallow is not at least tired
Or maybe it doesn’t tell.

A swallow is gathering speed
Thrown as a shuriken.
A swallow will never defeat,
And you don’t give up if you can.

Just take every effort to fit.
