Lyrics
Ya muri�³ la cucaracha
Ya la llevan a enterrar
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Y un rat�³n de sacrist�¡n
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar;
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
Cuando uno quiere a una
Y esta una no lo quiere
Es lo mismo que si un calvo
En calle encuetr' un peine
Las muchachas mexicanas
Son lindas como una flor
Y hablan tan dulcemente
Que encantan de amor
Las muchachas de Las Vegas
Son muy altas y delgaditas
Pero son m�¡s pedig�¼e�±as
Que las �¡nimas benditas
Las muchachas de la villa
No saben ni dar un beso
Cuando las de Albuquerque
Hasta estiran el pescuezo
Un panadero fue a misa
No encontrando que rezar
Le pidi�³ a la Virgen pura
Marihuana pa' fumar
Necesita autom�³vil
Par' hacer la caminata
Al lugar a donde mand�³
La convenci�³n Zapata
Las muchachas son de oro;
Las casadas son de plata;
Las viudas son de cobre
Y las viejas hoja de lata
Todos se pelean la silla
Que les deja mucha plata;
En el Norte Pancho Villa
Y en el Sur Viva Zapata!
Lyrics translation
Already died?Â3 the cockroach
They're already taking her to the ground.
Between four zopilots
And a loser?Sacristy?I n
La cucaracha, La cucaracha
He can't walk anymore.;
Because it doesn't, because it lacks
Marijuana smoking
When you want one
And this one doesn't want it.
It's the same as if a bald
On the street find a comb
Mexican girls
They're cute as a flower
And they speak so sweetly
Who love love
Las Vegas girls
They are very tall and thin
But they're me?Are you pedigree?¼ã? ± as
What are they?Blessed nimas
The girls of the village
They can't even kiss
When those of Albuquerque
They even stretch their necks
A baker went to mass
Not finding that to pray
Did you ask for them?3 to the Pure Virgin
Smoking marijuana
Need automatic?Â3vil
To do the walk
To the place where he sent?Â3
The convention?Â3n Zapata
Girls are golden;
Married women are silver;
Widows are copper
And the old tin leaf
Everybody's fighting over the chair.
That leaves them a lot of money;
In the North Pancho Villa
And in the South Viva Zapata!
