Lyrics - Spanish
(Peruvian folk song)
En un lejano bosque ya canta el cucú.
Oculto en el follaje, el búho contestó
Cucú, le llamó, cucú le llamó,
cucú, cucú, cucú.
English Translation - The cuckoo
In a distant forest the cuckoo sings now
Hidden in the foliage, the owl answered
Cuckoo, he called, cuckoo, he called,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo

Thanks,
I just heard this sung by the Apex on KDHX St. Louis. I appreciated the fast way I could see the works translated.
