What “Hajaj, Hajaj, Kukučka” Means
‘Hajaj’ is a traditional soothing refrain shared across Slovak and Czech lullabies, and Slovak folk rhymes often include a little cuckoo perched in a beech tree. This original arrangement combines that gentle refrain with the beech forests and valleys of the Slovak countryside.
