Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): DUT ENG
Der Gutzgauch auf dem Zaune saß,
es regnet sehr, und er ward naß.
Darnach da kam der Sonnenschein,
der Gutzgauch, der war hübsch und fein.
Alsdann schwang er sein G'fiedere,
und flog dorthin wohl [übern]1 See.
Guckguck!

De koekoek zat op de schutting
Het regende en hij werd nat.
Daarna kwam er zonneschijn
De koekoek die was leuk en aardig.
Toen spreidde hij zijn vleugels
En vloog weg over het meer.
Koekoek!
