La Cucaracha(original) |
| Voy a cantar un corrido |
| Que anda en toditas las voces |
| De una mujer de la tropa |
| Que todo el mundo conoce |
| En el pueblo de Conejos |
| Por unas calles muy tiestas |
| Viene triste y derrotado |
| El valiente Antonio Zeta |
| La cucaracha, la cucaracha |
| Ya no puede caminar |
| Porque le falta, porque no tiene |
| Marihuana que fumar |
| Iban los tres en silencio |
| Sus pensamientos rumiando |
| Mientras el destino ciego |
| Los hilos iba tramando |
| En los cascos del caballo |
| Suena el polvo del camino |
| Ya se van, llora un cariño |
| Un cariño malogrado |
| Ya el águila voló |
| Ya el nopal quedó solito |
| El fruto de tus amores |
| Ya no dista del olvido |
| Ya murió la cucaracha |
| Ya la llevan a enterrar |
| Entre cuatro zopilotes |
| Y un gato de sacristán |
| Y aquí termina el corrido |
| Que cantó a la cucaracha |
| (translation) |
| I'm going to sing a corrido |
| What is in all the voices |
| From a woman in the troop |
| that everyone knows |
| In the rabbit town |
| Through some very stiff streets |
| He comes sad and defeated |
| The brave Antonio Zeta |
| The cockroach the cockroach |
| can no longer walk |
| Because he lacks, because he doesn't have |
| marijuana to smoke |
| The three went in silence |
| Your ruminating thoughts |
| While blind fate |
| The threads were weaving |
| in the horse's hooves |
| The dust of the road sounds |
| They're leaving, a love cries |
| a lost love |
| The eagle has already flown |
| The nopal was left alone |
| The fruit of your love |
| no longer far from oblivion |
| The cockroach is already dead |
| They already take her to bury |
| Between four buzzards |
| And a sacristan's cat |
| And here the corrido ends |
| who sang to the cockroach |
