English translation:

Little Swallow, wearing a floral dress.
She comes here every spring.
I asked her what she comes here for,
She said:”The spring here is most pretty.”
Little Swallow, let me tell you something:
This year here will be even more pretty,
For we’ll set up a big factory and install new machines.
You are welcome to live for long time in our city.
