When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day
You promised to come back to me
When you whispered
"Farewell" in Capistrano
Twas the day
The swallow flew out to the sea
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day
I pray that you'll come back to me
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day
I pray that you'll come back to me
