You will hear a recording of the WGHS Choir singing the Czech Cuckoo Carol.

I hope that it will bring back happy memories of Christmas past at WGHS.

Perhaps you could settle down with a mince pie to listen to the recording...

Happy Christmas!

The Cuckoo Carol - also known as the Bird Carol

This is a traditional Czech Christmas carol that was adapted into English.

Its original Czech title is “Žežulka z lesa vylítla”.

************


[Verse 1] From out of a wood did a cuckoo fly, Cuckoo
He came to a manger with joyful cry, Cuckoo
He hopped, he curtsied, 'round he flew
And loud his jubilation grew
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo


[Verse 2] A pigeon flew over to Galilee, Vrer-croo
He strutted and cooed and was full of glee, Vrer-croo
And showed with jewelled wings unfurled
His joy that Christ was in the world
Vrer-croo, Vrer-croo, Vrer-croo


[Verse 3] A dove settled down upon Nazareth, Tsu-croo
And tenderly chanted with all his breath, Tsu-croo
"O you," he cooed, "So good and true,
My beauty do I give to you!"
Tsu-croo, Tsu-croo-, Tsu-croo
