La golondrina (Spanish: "The Swallow") is a song written in 1862 by Mexican physician Narciso Serradell Sevilla (1843-1910), who at the time was exiled to France due to the French intervention in Mexico. The Spanish lyrics uses the image of a migrating swallow to envoke sentiments of longing for the homeland. It became the signature song of the exiled Mexicans. The song was recorded in 1906[1] by Señor Francisco.[2][3] A guitar instrumental was recorded by Chet Atkins in 1955. The song has also been recorded by Caterina Valente (1959), Nat King Cole (1962) and Plácido Domingo (1984).[4]
Felice & Boudleaux Bryant wrote lyrics in English, as "She Wears My Ring", which was first recorded by Jimmy Sweeney a.k.a. Jimmy Bell in 1960 with notable cover versions by Roy Orbison (1962), Ray Price (1968) and Elvis Presley (1973).[5]
The song, recorded by 13 years old Heintje, became a German number-one hit in August 1968 (title: Du sollst nicht weinen, "Thou shalt not cry"). In June 1970, the 9 years old Norwegian singer Anita Hegerland became a famed child singer with a recording[6] in Swedish (Mitt sommarlov, "My summer vacation") that topped the Swedish chart Svensktoppen for seven weeks[7] as well as the Norwegian singles chart for three weeks.[8]
