Lyrics - Polish
(Polish folk song)
Kukułeczka kuka,
Chłopiec panny szuka
Spozira przebira
I nosa zadzira
Refrain
Kuku, kuku, aha, aha
oj, diridi oj diridi dyna
oj diridi dyna uha
Chłopcy moje chłopcy
W co wy się dufacie
Czy to w te surduty
Co na sobie macie? Refrain
Poznać ci to poznać
Chłopca fanfarona
Choć pusto w kieszeni
Głowa najeżona Refrain
Kukułeczka kuka
Syrce we mnie puka.
Głupi ten kawalir
Co z majątkiem szuka Refrain
Pytajta kukułki
Ona wam odpowie,
Że ten najbogatszy
Co ma dobrze w głowie Refrain
English Translation – Cuckoo kuka
Cuckoo kuka,
The boy is looking for a girl
Spozira beats it
And the nose bursts
Refrain
Kuku, kuku, aha, aha
oh, diridi oj diridi dyna
oh diridi dyna uha
Boys, my boys
What will you give yourselves to
Whether it’s in those frock coats
What are you wearing?
Know you know it
A boy’s fanpharon
Although empty in the pocket
The head is bristling
The cuckoo is cooking
Syrka is knocking in me.
That stupid cavalry
What is he looking for with the property
Ask the cuckoo
She will answer you
That the richest one
Which is well on his mind
(Translation: google)
