Lyrics
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
Fue la junta de naciones
A poner sus opiniones
Todos no estaban de acuerdo
Donde y cuando bombardear
Se sientan los presidentes
En la silla del gobierno
Luego mandan a la guerra
A la gente de su pueblo
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Que ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene
Porque le falta
La marijuana que fumar
Huaracha muchacha que vamoa huarachar
Va una cucaracha que quiere comerciar,
Toca, loca ábreme la boca,
Buscame una coca que no quiero trabalear,
Mica, rica para zapatear,
Pido a Victor Jara no me vaya a doblegar,
Chama chama al Ché Guevara,
Una petición, una cucaracha,
Por culpa y omision,
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Que ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene
Porque le falta
La marijuana que fumar
Todos se pelean la silla
Que les deja mucha plata
En el norte Pancho Villa
Y en el sur viva Zapata!
Ya murió la cucaracha
Ya la llevan a enterrar
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Y un ratón de sacristán

Lyrics translation
At Mass and at the fair
Everyone already knows
Those who come to the government
Because you can buy
Of the Communist Party
There's almost nothing left.
Now everyone's looking
How to make millions
It was the board of nations
To put your opinions
Everyone disagreed
Where and when to bomb
The presidents sit down.
In the government Chair
Then they go to war
To the people of his village
La cucaracha, La cucaracha
That he can no longer walk
Because it doesn't have
Because it lacks
Marijuana smoking
Huaracha girl we go to huarachar
It's a cockroach that wants to trade,
Play, Crazy open my mouth,
Get me a Coke I don't want to shake,
Mica, rich to shoe,
I ask Victor Jara not to bend me,
Chama chama Al Ché Guevara,
A request, a cockroach,
Fault and omission,
La cucaracha, La cucaracha
That he can no longer walk
Because it doesn't have
Because it lacks
Marijuana smoking
Everybody's fighting over the chair.
That leaves them a lot of money
In the North Pancho Villa
And in the South viva Zapata!
The cockroach has already died
They're already taking her to the ground.
Between four zopilots
And a sacristan mouse
