When the cuckoo sings, its melody
Steals the solace of a grieving heart.
A moment, life burns with misery,
A moment, tears begin to start.
Cuckoo, fly not, linger not near,
Cuckoo, fly not, linger not near,
Cuckoo, fly away.
Your dark clouds gather in the sky,
But mine, my dark one, he stays away.
Your dark clouds gather in the sky,
But mine, my dark one, cannot stay.
I am the separated, the recluse,
My restless spirit cannot be controlled.
Cuckoo, fly not, linger not near,
Cuckoo, fly away.
Sawan's arrows, the raindrops fall,
Water to water, life dissolves and fades.
Sawan's arrows, the raindrops fall,
Water to water, life dissolves and fades.
I am the separated, the recluse,
Do not poison the honeyed taste,
Cuckoo, fly not, linger not near,
Cuckoo, fly away.
