To wake up at dawn. There's a weird misconception that roosters crow at the sun's rising. They don't, but this is something of an image of the rural setting. Rather, roosters crow all the time so it may happen to be the first sound you hear when you wake up early. Either way, that's what it refers to - waking up early.
