Lyrics - German
(German folk song)
Kuckuck, Kuckuck ruft’s aus dem Wald.
Lasset uns singen, tanzen und springen.
Frühling, Frühling wird es nun bald.
Kuckuck, Kuckuck läßt nicht sein Schrei’n:
Komm in die Felder, Wiesen und Wälder.
Frühling, Frühling, stelle dich ein.
Kuckuck, Kuckuck, trefflicher Held.
Was du gesungen, ist dir gelungen.
Winter, Winter räumet das Feld.
English Translation – Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo calls from the forest.
Let’s sing, dance, and jump.
Spring, it will soon be spring.
Cuckoo, cuckoo won’t let his screams:
Come to the fields, meadows and forests.
Spring, spring, introduce yourself.
Cuckoo, cuckoo, excellent hero.
You succeeded in what you sang.
Winter, winter clears the field.
