Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coucou, les rosiers fleurissent
Coucou, les rameaux verdissent
Coucou, voici le printemps

Coucou, le beau soleil brille
Coucou, et les yeux des filles
Coucou en font tout autant
Que faites-vous, que faites-vous
Encore a sommeiller
Eveillez-vous, eveillez-vous,
Le monde est transforme

Coucou, ouvrez moi bien vite
Coucou, mon coeur vous invite
Coucou, il fait nous aimer

Cadilla
Cadilla
Coucou veut dire bonjour
Cadilla dilla dilla

Cadilla
Cadilla
Coucou bonjour mon amour

Que faites-vous, que faites-vous
Encore a sommeiller
Eveillez-vous, eveillez-vous,
Le monde est transforme

Coucou, ouvrez-moi bien vite




Coucou, mon coeur vous invite
Coucou, il fait nous aimer

Great song, but horrible Anglo accent. The "r"s are all wrong, and also over-aspirating the consonants.
