Sumer is icumen in,
Lude sing Cucu,
Groweth sed, and bloweth med,
And springeth wude nu.
Sing Cucu!

Awe bleateth after lambe
Lowth after calve cu
Bullock starteth, bucke varteth
Myrie sing Cucu
Cucu, cucu

Well singes thu Cucu
ne swik thi naver nu.

Pes:
Sing cuccu nu. Sing cuccu.
Sing cuccu. Sing cuccu nu!

English.png English translation

Summer has come in,
Loudly sing, Cuckoo!
The seed grows and the meadow blooms
And the wood springs anew,
Sing, Cuckoo!

The ewe bleats after the lamb,
The cow lows after the calf.
The bullock stirs, the buck-goat turns,
Merrily sing, Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo,

Well you sing, cuckoo;
Don't you ever stop now.

Pes:
Sing cuckoo now. Sing, Cuckoo.
Sing Cuckoo. Sing cuckoo now!
