A popular text in Mexico to the song.
From Allena Luce, 1921, ed., "Canciones Populares," Silver, Burdett y Compañia, Boston, pp. 62-63, with sheet music. 

"A Mexican song which corresponds, in spirit, to the American song, "Home, Sweet Home!"

Adonde irá veloz y fatigada
La golondrina que de aquí se va,
O si el viento se hallará 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 le región perdida
Oh cielo santo! y sin poder volar.

Dejé también mi patria idolatrada,
Esa mansión que me miró nacer,
Mi vida es hoy errante y angustiada
I ya no puedo a mi mansión volver.
Ave querida, amada peregrina,
Mi corazón al tuyo estrecharé,
Oiré tu canto, tierna golondrina,
Recordaré mi patria y lloraré.

(English words Thos. M. Westrup, ca. 1883)

There are several texts in Spanish, and several translations or interpretations in English.
The lyrics below from a copy published in 1889 by Thomas Goggan & Bro., Galveston, TX,

compliments of the Mexican National Railroad, which entered Texas at Laredo and crossed to the Gulf.

Whither so swiftly flies the timid swallow,
What distant bourne seeks her untiring wing?
To reach it safe, what needle does she follow,
When darkness wraps the poor, wee storm-tossed thing?
To build her nest near to my couch, I'll call her;
Why go so far bright and warm skies to keep!
Safe would she be; no evil should befall her,
For I am an exile sad, too sad to weep;

My fatherland is dear, but I too left it;
Far am I from the spot where I was born;
Cheerless is life, fierce storms of joy bereft it;
Made me an exile lifelong and forlorn.
Come then to me, sweet feathered pilgrim stranger;
Oh! Let me clasp thee to my loving breast,
And list thy warbling low, secure from danger,
Unwonted tears bringing relief and rest
