HOPE I HELPED!!! <3333bye

it means "summer has come in" or "summer has arrived"

Middle English:
Svmer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu!
Growet sed and blowet med
And springt te wde nu,
Sing cuccu!
Awe bletet after lomb,
Lhout after calue cu.
Bulluc stertet, bucke uertet,
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu, wel singes tu, cuccu;
Ne swik tu nauer nu.

Modern Translation:
Summer has come in,
Loudly sing, Cuckoo!
The seed grows and the meadow blooms
And the wood springs anew,
Sing, Cuckoo!
The ewe bleats after the lamb,
The cow lows after the calf.
The bullock stirs, the buck-goat turns,
Merrily sing, Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, well you sing, cuckoo;
Don't you ever stop now,
Sing cuckoo now. Sing, Cuckoo.
Sing Cuckoo. Sing cuckoo now!

It's believed to be the oldest recorded English song, going back to the 13th century. It's basically about springtime and nature.
