Translation of the song La cucaracha (versión infantil) artist Mexican Folk
La cucaracha (versión infantil)
The cockroach
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
The cockroach, the cockroach
Ya no puede caminar
Can't walk anymore
Porque le falta, porque no tiene
Because she's lacking, because she doesn't have
La patica principal.
Her main leg
La cucaracha contenta
The happy cockroach
Tiene ganas sin parar
Has desire non stop
Aunque le falta una pata
Even though she doesn't have a leg
Nunca deja de bailar
She doesn't stop dancing
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
The cockroach, the cockroach
Ya no puede caminar
Can't walk anymore
Porque le falta, porque no tiene
Because she's lacking, because she doesn't have
La patica principal.
Her main leg
*Pobre de la Cucaracha
Poor cockroach
Se queja de corazón
She complains heartily
Por no usar ropa planchada
About not using ironed clothes
Por la escasez del carbón.
Because of carbon shortage
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
The cockroach, the cockroach
Ya no puede caminar
Can't walk anymore
Porque le falta, porque no tiene
Because she's lacking, because she doesn't have
La patica principal.
Her main leg
*Ya murió la cucaracha
The cockroach died already
Ya la llevan a enterrar
They are bringing her to burial
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Among four vultures
Y un ratón de sacristán
And a sacristan mouse
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
The cockroach, the cockroach
Ya no puede caminar
Can't walk anymore
Porque le falta, porque no tiene
Because she's lacking, because she doesn't have
La patica principal.
Her main leg
