its ukrainian and here are the lyrics google translate will probably give you a better translation than my rudimentary ukranian

Була дівчина, стала зозуля,
ой, лети!

Я чула спів у лісах, зозуля кувала,
До рання!
В своїх снах, спогадах, у думках заблукала
Наче то була я.

О-о!

Тебе я бачила
Мене ти, ой, не спіймав
До неба летіла, летіла.

Ой, чому я, чому ти, чом ми досі не разом
Але я тебе шукаю, себе лаю, та знову тікаю
То є пісня моя,
То є я!

Тебе я бачила
Мене ти, ой, не спіймав
До неба летіла, летіла

Моя доля як поле,
Де вирують вітри.
Я навіки твоя, ти до мене лети,
Доки не вгасли вогні і я!

Тебе я бачила
Мене ти, ой, не спіймав
До неба летіла, летіла

Тебе я хотіла
Мене ти, ой, не спіймав
До неба летіла, летіла

Хай летіла!
І-ех! О-о!

Although apparently the title is in russian. kukushka is russian, зозуля is ukranian. kukusha - one that kuku's (or cuckoos get it )

Google translation is ve-e-ery... google translation
These lyrics are quite hard to translate automatically - to many punctuations. And the song is rather 'voicy' than 'meaningful'.
My English is not fluent but I'll try to help.


***
[I] was a girl, and now [I’m] cuckoo,
Oh, fly away!

I heard someone’s singing in the wood, that was a cuckoo,
Singing till the morning!
Lost in [her] dreams, memories and thought,
Like it was me.

Oh!

I saw you
You failed, oh, to catch me
And I fly away into the sky, fly away.

Oh, why me, why you, why we still aren’t together
But I am seeking you, scolding myself, and escaping again,
This is my song [/that was me singing],
This is me!

I saw you
You failed, oh, to catch me
And I fly away into the sky, fly away.

My fate is like field
Where the wind blows.
I'm yours forever, fly to me,
Before the fire [/the light] go out, and before I do.

I saw you
You failed, oh, to catch me
And I fly away into the sky, fly away.

I wanted you
You failed, oh, to catch me
And I fly away into the sky, fly away.

Let her fly!
Hey! Oh!
