La Cucaracha(original) |
| La cucaracha, la cucaracha que ya no puede caminar |
| porque no tiene, porque le falta la marihuana, marihuana que fumar |
| en la misa y en la feria todo el mundo ya lo sabe |
| los que llegan al gobierno porque se puede comprar |
| del partido comunista ya no queda casi nada |
| ahora todos van buscando como hacerse millonadas |
| La cucaracha, la cucaracha muchacha, la cucaracha |
| fue la junta de naciones pa poner sus opiniones |
| todos no estaban de acuerdo cuando y donde bombardear |
| se sientan los presidentes en la silla del gobierno |
| luego mandan a la guerra a la gente de su pueblo |
| La cucaracha, ay la cucaracha, la cucaracha |
| La cucaracha, la cucaracha que ya no puede caminar |
| porque no tiene, porque le falta la marihuana que fumar, la marihuana que fumar |
| guaracha, muchacha que vamos a guarachar |
| va una cucaracha que quiere comerciar |
| toca, loca, abreme la boca, buscame una coca que no quiero trabaliar |
| tica, rica, para zapatear, pido a Victor Jara no me vaya a doblegar |
| cha ma, chama, che Guevara, una petición, una cucaracha, |
| por culpa y omisión |
| La cucaracha, la cucaracha que ya no puede caminar |
| porque no tiene, porque le falta la marihuana que fumar, la marihuana que fumar |
| Todos se pelean la silla que les deja mucha plata |
| en el norte Pancho Villa y en el sur viva Zapata |
| se murio la cucaracha ya la llevan a enterrar, entre cuatro zopilotes y un |
| raton de sacristan |
| La cucaracha, la cucaracha, ay la cucaracha señores |
| (translation) |
| The cockroach, the cockroach that can no longer walk |
| because he doesn't have, because he lacks marijuana, marijuana to smoke |
| at mass and at the fair everyone already knows |
| those who come to the government because they can be bought |
| of the communist party there is almost nothing left |
| now everyone is looking for how to become millionaires |
| The cockroach, the cockroach girl, the cockroach |
| It was the meeting of nations to put their opinions |
| everyone disagreed when and where to bomb |
| the presidents sit in the government chair |
| then they send the people of their town to war |
| The cockroach, oh the cockroach, the cockroach |
| The cockroach, the cockroach that can no longer walk |
| because he doesn't have, because he lacks the marijuana to smoke, the marijuana to smoke |
| guaracha, girl we are going to guarachar |
| goes a cockroach that wants to trade |
| Play, crazy, open my mouth, find me a coke that I don't want to work |
| tica, rich, to tap, I ask Victor Jara not to bend me |
| cha ma, chama, che Guevara, a request, a cockroach, |
| by fault and omission |
| The cockroach, the cockroach that can no longer walk |
| because he doesn't have, because he lacks the marijuana to smoke, the marijuana to smoke |
| Everyone fights for the chair that leaves them a lot of money |
| in the north Pancho Villa and in the south long live Zapata |
| the cockroach died and they are taking it to bury, between four buzzards and a |
| sacristan's mouse |
| The cockroach, the cockroach, oh the cockroach gentlemen |
