Summary/Abstract: From birth to death, the song is an integral part of man's life. (Arthur Gorovei) Man's connection to nature and to all that has to do with it, has always existed, the man being a true friend of nature. Thus, man shares his affection caused either by moments of joy or sadness, through songs along his/her entire existence. The song of the cuckoo expresses various moods of the Romanians. Among the flying birds known by the Dacians, the only bird that obsesses his/her soul is the cuckoo. (Tache Papahagi) Our study aims to illustrate some of the symbols of the cuckoo on a collection of lyrical texts gathered from Mehedinţi County.
