Cuckoo's Song ...spring at our doors
Cuckoo, hearing your sweet voice,
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo
My heart feels as if a great Guru
is chanting a magic Mantra
Koyal Singing Cuckoo, Cuckoo ...
spring at our door
Cuckoo, hearing your sweet voice, Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo
My heart feels as if a great Guru is chanting a magic Mantra
Mother, darling of the spring is our guest, spring at our door
Sun likes Cuckoo too, now on days will be longer and longer
Hearing Cuckoo’s mantra, plants and trees bloom for our joy
They put on colorful clothes, the flowers are spraying perfumes
It is season to walk in the forest, let us enjoy the beauty of
nature
Some tell you nightingale, some Koyal, you are great energizer
Why do you sing Cuckoo while your spouse sings kik-kik-kik?
Your whole family makes different sounds just as we human do
O so shy, I look you in
woods, why do you hide from human?
O black beauty, flying
colors of your family makes eyes still
I rejoice that you are chosen as the state bird of Pondicherry
Hearing your singing babies stop crying, mothers’ joy flourishes
Mother says you are clever, you never hatch your own chicks
You lay your eggs in crows’ nests as they are great care takers
Tell us secrets of your sweet voice, is it that you suck birds’
eggs?
Think of parents who really desire babies, in life never hurt others
You appear in April and start beating the drum till May ends
As you cry more Cuckoos, summer’s end draw near and near
Like me you do not like the monsoon and winter, so fly away
O lucky, you have wings for flying far, we fly only in dreams
But I do not want to miss you, father brought me a Cuckoo clock
Let me know where you go, so I will follow you to that pretty land
