Cuckoo, cuckoo, calls from the forest
1. Cuckoo, cuckoo,
calls from the forest.
Let’s sing,
dance and jump!
Spring, spring,
it will be soon.
2. Cuckoo, cuckoo,
don’t stop screaming.
Come into the fields,
meadows and forests;
spring, spring,
tune in
3. Cuckoo, cuckoo,
excellent hero!
You succeeded in what you sang
:
winter, winter,
clear the field.
