Кукушка, кукушка! Сколько мне жить осталось?

Is this some sort of a common saying?
Thanks!

Yes. (:
I don't know why, but I would write it with a hyphen, "Кукушка-кукушка, сколько мне жить осталось?" :-)

Человек, который делал эти субтитры, ВЕЗДЕ пишет "ето" вместо "это" (хотя в фильме говорят "это"), а ты с такой мелочью... :D

Yes, supposedly if you hear a cuckoo cuckooing, the number of cuckoos would correspond to a number of years that remain for you to live. A stupid, but very widespread superstition. :)
