La Cucaracha
Lila Downs
The Cockroach
At church and at the fair
Everyone already knows
Those who reach the government
Because it can be bought
From the communist party
There is almost nothing left
Now everyone is looking
How to make millions
It was the meeting of nations
To put their opinions
Not everyone agreed
Where and when to bomb
The presidents sit
In the government chair
Then they send to war
The people of their town
The cockroach, the cockroach
Who can no longer walk
Because it doesn't have
Because it lacks
The marijuana to smoke
Huaracha girl we're going to huarachar
There goes a cockroach who wants to trade
Play, crazy open my mouth
Find me a coke I don't want to work
Mica, rich to tap dance
I ask Victor Jara not to bend me
Chama chama to Che Guevara
A request, a cockroach
Because of guilt and omission
The cockroach, the cockroach
Who can no longer walk
Because it doesn't have
Because it lacks
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 has died
They are already taking her to bury
Among four vultures
And a sacristan's mouse
