Swallows
I spend my days
In long lines
In villages, towns and cities
Swallows are queens
Flying past the borders of freedom
I want to lift my feet off the ground
I want to fly away from here
Leave on an airplane
And only return some day
I'll put my bags in the hold
Savor the springtime
Waiting at the station
One day a swallow said
Girl, the world spins
Use the breeze in your favor
Life tells us lies
But the sun warns before it sets
I want to lift my feet off the ground
I want to fly away from here
Leave on an airplane
And only return some day
I'll put my bags in the hold
Savor the springtime
Waiting at the station
My mother already said it
Spread your wings
Turn your back
Be strong, go towards the sea
Go uphill, place a bet
On luck, not on bad luck
