Lyrics

	作曲 : Kevess
	Once there was a swallow,
	And her birdies three.
	Birdies three, a la volette
	And her birdie three.
	They were all so eager
	To be on their own.
	On their own, a la volette
	To be on their own.
	Said the anxious mother
	“You can barely fly”.
	Barely fly, a la volette
	You can barely fly.
	But they would not listen
	And they flew away.
	Flew away, a la volette
	And they flew away.
	To the woods they wandered
	Singing merrily.
	Merrily, a la volette
	Singing merrily.
	A hungry fox was waiting
	And he gobbled them up.
	Gobbled them up, a la volette
	And he gobbled them up.
	Said the angry mother
	“I told you so”.
	Told you so, a la volette
	Said “I told you so”.
	It’s a very sad story
	And I think I’ll cry.
	Think I’ll cry, a la volette
	And I think I’ll cry.
