Garazhe Nerūkoma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.

It is often that I wonder
Why women love men
And I look back and I wonder
Why men are men.

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.

Gonna build me another castle
On a mountain so high
So then I can see my true love
As she passes by.

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.

--- Instrumental ---

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and of gold.

Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies




But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Garazhe Nerūkoma's "2012" are a combination of two traditional songs, "Cuckoo" and "Jack of Diamonds." The first verse talks about a beautiful bird that flies and sings, but the singer doesn't give her water until July 4th. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for withholding affection until a certain date or event. The second verse ponders the mysterious nature of attraction between men and women. The third verse mentions the desire to build a castle on a mountain to be able to catch a glimpse of a true love. The fourth verse brings in the "Jack of Diamonds" character, accusing him of stealing from the singer's pockets.


Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on love, desire, and the nature of relationships. The incorporation of traditional folk songs adds to the sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time.
