Original text and translations

English text MIDDLE ENGLISH
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.
