Le coucou
Language: French (Français)
Le coucou chante au bois qui dort L'aurore est rouge encor Et le vieux paon qu'Iris décore Jette au loin son cri d'or Les colombes de ma cousine pleurent comme une enfant Le dindon roue en s'esclaffant Il court, il court, il court, il court, il court à la cuisine Oh!
