Gu-gu-gu Isuf,
Gu-gu-gu Istref,
Mother, why did you teach me the language of the cuckoos,
Of my sister, oh,
Gu-gu-gu Isuf,
Gu-gu-gu Istref,
Under my eavestrough
Gu-gu-gu in the trees in the courtyard
Gu-gu-gu on the roof,
I look for
Gu-gu-gu my brothers, oh,
Gu-gu-gu they were beaten,
Gu-gu-gu they were murdered,
Gu-gu-gu they are gone, where are they?
Gu-gu-gu Isuf,
Gu-gu-gu Istref,
Gu-gu-gu on the house,
Gu-gu-gu I’m waiting for them,
I’m waiting for them
To come back,
To return,
They will return,
I’m waiting for them,
Gu-gu-gu
Gu-gu-gu.
