Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo
O sweet cuckoo, cuckoo, sing a song
Chorus: Cuckoo
Male: O peacock with lovely feathers, dance along
Chorus: Cuckoo, cuckoo
Female: What joy it is when you strum the golden veena (Indian lute)
My body is a kingdom that you rule over
The language your eyes speak together is a silent language
It is the language of love spoken across the land of youth
Female: Hoo oo oo oo oo
O sweet cuckoo, cuckoo, sing a song
Chorus: Cuckoo
Male: O peacock with lovely feathers, dance along
Chorus: Cuckoo, cuckoo
Shall I bring down the golden moonlight to the ground,
and make a bed for us?
Female: Giving you my heart,
shall this girl take shelter there?
O beloved, your lips are flowers dipped in sweet nectar,
shall I come taste them today?
Female: Merging into your eyes where I lost myself,
shall I offer you a sweet feast?
You have become all the joy I look for
It has become an illness that grows sweeter day by day
Female: My saree has become a bed mat for you
Your gaze has become a fire that touches me
Male: Evening and dawn have vanished without a trace
O sweet cuckoo, cuckoo, sing a song
Chorus: Cuckoo
Male: O peacock with lovely feathers, dance along
Chorus: Cuckoo, cuckoo
Gathering water lily stems and stringing jasmine flowers,
shall I come close to you?
Male: Bringing fresh jasmine buds to bless us with a child,
shall I hold you in my embrace?
Leaving childhood memories behind and coming to the bedroom,
shall I gather and offer all my love to you?
Male: As you bounce with joy, until the morning star rises,
shall I tease you and make you swoon?
Ahaha, we are completely soaked in the river water!
The sky and the earth have all become ours!
Male: Oh my, tuning the melody and blending the music,
let us rule the whole world together from now on!
Female: Enough, this is enough; my body cannot bear any more
O sweet cuckoo, cuckoo, sing a song
Chorus: Cuckoo
Male: O peacock with lovely feathers, dance along
Chorus: Cuckoo, cuckoo
What joy it is when you strum the golden veena (Indian lute)
Male: Aah... aah... aah... aah...
Female: My body is a kingdom that you rule over
The language your eyes speak together is a silent language
Female: It is the language of love spoken across the land of youth
Both: Hoo oo oo oo oo
O sweet cuckoo, cuckoo, sing a song

Female: O peacock with lovely feathers, dance along
