Cuckoo in the Pear Tree by György Ligeti
Performed by
György LigetiCuckoo in the Pear Tree Lyrics
The Cuckoo sat in the old pear-tree
Cuckoo!
Raining or snowing, nought cared he
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, nought cared he
The Cuckoo flew over a housetop high
Cuckoo!
"Dear, are you at home, for here am I?
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, here am I."
"I dare not open the door to you
Cuckoo!
Perhaps you are not the right cuckoo?
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cukoo, the right Cuckoo!"
"I am the right Cuckoo, the proper one
Cuckoo!
For I am my father's only son
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, his only son."
"If you are your father's only son -
Cuckoo!
The bobbin pull tightly
Come through the door lightly -
Cuckoo!
"If you are your father's only son -
Cuckoo!
It must be you, the only one -
Cuckoo, cuckoo, my own Cuckoo!
Cuckoo!"
