Lyrics - Spanish

(Mexican folk song)

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Patas para caminar.

English Translation - The cockroach

The cockroach, the cockroach,
Now he can’t walk
Because he doesn’t have, because he’s missing
Legs to walk with!

  1. Do you have an orff arrangement of this song? I’m doing a “Music Around the World” celebration of learning with my gr. 3 music class and am looking for a song for the students to present with instruments to their parents at the end of the year. Please let me know: email jversteeg@sjsd.net Thank-you.
