Cucu' o murit [English translation]

When the old man was about to die

The old lady was crying always

Old man, if you die, I want to be a ghost

With you I die also

The old man dies one day

The old lady hadn't joked

Why did the old man die?

The old man was almost clear why

I have a sort of clock

left behind by my ancestors

it has a cuckoo in one of them

how wonderful is it

When i look one time

The clock has stopped

cuckoo wake up

....the cuckoo is dead

The clock doesn`t strike anymore

The time is 12 sharp

My God, what does it mean

I wonder the mark X?

If the cuckoo knows

Or, to say, Knew

For his cuckoo to sing

I think he wouldn`t have died

It sings again

Sharp at 12 sharp

I think it means something anyway

This mark X

It gets tired at a time

Noone knew

That even the cuckoo dies

Even if it's out of clay
