Der Kuckuck und der Esel
The cuckoo and the donkey
Die hatten einen Streit
They had a dispute
Wer wohl am besten sänge
Who is best singing
Wer wohl am besten sänge
Who is best singing
Zur schönen Maienzeit
To the beautiful May period
Zur schönen Maienzeit

Der Kuckuck sprach: „Das kann ich'
The cuckoo said: "I can 'that'
Und fing gleich an zu schreien
And started screaming right away
„Ich aber kann es besser'
"But I can better '
„Ich aber kann es besser'

Fiel gleich der Esel ein
The donkey fell right away
Fiel gleich der Esel ein

Das klang so schön und lieblich
That sounded so beautiful and lovely
So schön von fern und nah
So beautiful from far and close
Sie sangen alle beide
They both sang both
Sie sangen alle beide
They both sang both
Kuckuck, kuckuck, ia, ia
Cuckuck, cuckoo, ia, ia
Kuckuck, kuckuck, ia
Cuckuck, cuckoo, ia
