about

This is my re-edition of the traditional folk song 'The Cuckoo'.

lyrics

Oh, The cuckoo is a pretty bird
She sings as she flies
She brings us good tidings
She tells us no lies

She sings to white flowers
To make her voice clear
When we hear her singing
The summer draws near

Cuckoo curucucu!

The cuckoo is a bird
No other is as she
She flies across the meadow
Sits in the tree

A nest she never builds
A vagrant she does roam
Her music is but sorrow
She doesn’t have a home

Cuckoo curucucu!

Oh, The cuckoo is a witty bird
She comes with the spring
When autumn winds are blowing
She spreads wide her wing
s
The winter she dislikes
She shuns the rain and snow
With her I would be singing
Off with her I’d go

Cuckoo curucucu!
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo...
