Paroles et traduction The Mills Brothers - La Cucaracha

La Cucaracha

Ya muriÃ?³ la cucaracha,
Ya la llevan a enterrar,
Entre cuatro zopilotes
Y un ratÃ?³n de sacristÃ?¡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 mÃ?¡s pedigÃ?¼eÃ?±as
Que las Ã?¡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 pidiÃ?³ a la Virgen pura,
Marihuana pa' fumar

Necesita automÃ?³vil
Par' hacer la caminata
Al lugar a donde mandÃ?³
La convenciÃ?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!

The Cockroach

The cockroach has already died,
They're taking it to bury it,
Between four vultures
And a sacristan's rat

The cockroach, the cockroach,
Can't walk anymore;
Because it doesn't have, because it lacks
Marijuana to smoke

When one loves someone
And this one doesn't love him,
It's the same as if a bald man
Finds a comb on the street.

Mexican girls
Are as beautiful as a flower,
And they speak so sweetly
That they charm with love.

The girls from Las Vegas
Are very tall and thin,
But they are more pedantic
Than the blessed souls.

The girls from the village
Don't even know how to give a kiss,
When the ones from Albuquerque
Even stretch their necks.

A baker went to mass,
Not finding what to pray,
He asked the pure Virgin,
Marijuana to smoke

He needs a car
To make the trip
To the place where he sent
The Zapata convention.

The girls are gold;
The married women are silver;
The widows are copper,
And the old women are tin.

Everyone fights for the chair
That leaves them a lot of money;
In the North Pancho Villa
And in the south Viva Zapata!
