| | Song Story | It starts with the traditional canon but after a while the 20th century creeps in with some rather interesting harmonies!
| | Song Lyrics | Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing, cuccu!
Groweth sed and bloweth med
And springth the wude nu.
Sing, cuccu!
Awe bleteth after lomb,
Lhouth after calve cu
Bulloc sterteth, bucke ferteth.
Murie sing, cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu,
Wel singes thu, cuccu.
Ne swik thu naver nu!
Translation:
Summer has come in
Loudly sing, cuckoo!
Grows the seed and blooms the meadow
And the woods springs now
Sing, cuckoo!
The ewe bleats after the lamb
The calf lows after the cow
The bull leaps, the buck leaps, twisting.
Merrily sing, cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Well sing you, cuckoo.
Nor cease you ever now!
Sing cuccu nu, sing cuccu!
Sing cuccu nu, sing cuccu!
Sing cuckoo now, sing cuckoo!
Sing cuckoo now, sing cuckoo!
