La Golondrina (The Swallow)

From the movie "The Wild Bunch," which is an almost continual display of graphic violence and blood spurting out of people; but it also includes this very pretty rendition of a great old folk song, "La Golodrina" (The Swallow), composed in 1883 by Narciso Serradel Sevilla of Veracuz.

One of the most beautiful movie scenes ever filmed. No words, just music, expressive faces and beautiful photography.

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 encontrará Junto a mi lecho le pondré su nido en donde pueda la estación pasar También yo estoy en la región perdido O Cielo Santo y sin poder volar Dejé también mi patria idolatrada esa mansión que me miró nacer mi vida es hoy errante y angustiada y ya no puedo a mi mansión volver Ave querida amada peregrina mi corazón al tuyo acercaré Oiré tu canto tierna golondrina recordaré mi patria y lloraré recordaré mi patria y lloraré Où donc ira L'hirondelle Rapide et épuisée Qui s'en va d'ici, Si dans le vent Elle se trouve perdue, En recherche d'un abri, Et si elle ne le trouve pas. Tout près de mon lit, Je lui mettrai son nid Où elle pourra Passer la saison. Moi aussi, je suis Perdue dans la région, Oh, bon Dieu, Et sans pouvoir voler. Moi aussi, j'ai laissé Ma patrie tant aimée Et cette maison Qui m'a vu naître. Aujourd'hui, j'ai une vie Errante et angoissée Et je ne peux plus Retourner dans ma maison. Cher oiseau, Pellerin bien aimé, Mon cœur, Je le rapprocherai du tien Et j'écouterai ton chant. Douce hirondelle, Je me souviendrai de ma patrie et je pleurerai, Je me souviendrai de ma patrie et je pleurerai.

La golondrina pequeño ser pero hermoso y bello tan bello como puede ser el amanecer o el atardecer. Es tan linda y fragil como es el alma ffemenina

Finally someone posted a good version of this from the movie. The only other ones up on YT are a poor quality one and one where the guy overlaid it with the cast members laughing. Thanks!

[@brianwalmsley2156]

ANYONE WHO HAS A GRASP ON REALITY, MUST ACKNOWLEGE THAT THIS FILM WAS THE FIRST TO REALISTICALLY DEPICT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GUNS ARE FIRED AT PEOPLE, THE FIRST 10 MINUTES, OF 'SAVING PRIVATE RYAN', HAS THE SAME UNCOMPRAMISING VIEW OF VIOLENCE, THE WILD BUCH, HAD A BACK-THEME, THAT MENS WORD, HAVE A MEANING, THAT ONCE GIVEN, THE ACTION SHOULD BE RUN TO THE END, HOWEVER DIFFICULT.

Good points, Brian - Now, please, don't forget about that shift key - K?
