"Kuck-Kuck", die Leye lang Ist alles in der Runden Beteppicht und besommerblumt Unds Erdereich verschwunden. "Kuck-Kuck", auf grüner Weid, So fern ich's kann erpassen, Hat überall der Sonnenschein Sein Silbergeld gelassen. "Kuck-Kuck", die Kuckucksblum, Vielmannigfalt im Maien, Ich seh sie fahren hin und her Und schwenken wie die Leye. "Kuck-Kuck", die Leye lang Ich kann's nicht unterscheiden, Sind's Wellen oder Blumen, die Mein schweifend Auge leiten? "Kuck-Kuck", der Kuckuck ruft In einem fort dazwischen; Sitzt wohl auf einem Wipfel in Den fernen, fernen Büschen.

"Cuckoo", along the Leye Everything all around is Carpeted and covered in summer flowers And the earthly realm has vanished. "Cuckoo", upon the green meadow As far as I can await it longingly, Everywhere the sunshine has Left behind its silver coin. "Cuckoo", the meadow campion Is numerous among the wildflowers, I see them passing back and forth And meandering like the Leye. "Cuckoo", along the Leye I cannot determine Whether waves or flowers Guide my roaming eyes? "Cuckoo", the cuckoo Interrupts continuously; It must be sitting upon one of the treetops In the distant, distant bushes.
