When the swallows come back to Capistrano
Thats the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, "Farewell" in Capistrano
T'was the day the swallows flew out to the sea
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness youll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
Thats the day I pray that youll come back to me!
