Original text and translations

Spanish text

Cucu cucu!
Guarda no lo seas tú.

Compadre debes saber,
que la más buena mujer,
rabia siempre por hoder,
harta bien la tuya tú.

Compadre has de guardar,
para nunca encornudar,
si tu mujer sale a mear,
sal junto con ella tú.

Dutch translation

Koekoek koekoek, koekoekoek !
Pas op dat het jou niet treft

Vriend, en dat je goed beseft:
Ook de allerbeste vrouw
Hunkert altijd naar verzetjes.
Zorg dus goed voor die van jou.

Vriend, je moet er goed op letten
Dat ze je nooit hoorns opzetten
Als je vrouw naar buiten moet
Ga dan kijken wat ze doet.

Translation by Nico de Glas

Portuguese translation

Cucu, cucu!
Tem cuidado para que não aconteça contigo.

Companheiro, deves saber,
que até a mais bondosa mulher,
está sempre louca por foder,
portanto satisfaz bem a tua.

Companheiro, tens de ter cuidado,
para nunca seres encornado,
se a tua mulher sai para mijar,
sai com ela também tu.

English translation

Coo-coo, coo-coo!
Make sure it's not you.

Mate you must know,
that the best of women,
is always crazy to screw,
tire out yours well.

Mate you must take care,
to never be cuckolded,
if your wife goes out to pee,
go out with her.

Polish translation

Kuku, kuku!
Bacz byś nie był to ty!

Hej przyjacielu, wiedzieć ci trzeba
Jak zmienną kobieta bywa istotą.
Lepiej więc przychyl jej trochę nieba,
By nie zdradziła cię z jakimś niecnotą.

Bacz przyjacielu na każdy z jej kroków
I nawet w buduar też za nią idź,
By ci nie przyprawiła rogów,
Choćby twierdziła że idzie szczyć.

Translation by Stanisław Jonczyk
