LA CUCARACHA

This well-known traditional Spanish song is beloved throughout the world. Like traditional songs in many languages, many of the older lyrics of the song are not suitable for children.   Consequently, we keep the song’s familiar refrain, but create lyrics that are kid-friendly and educational. Composed and performed by Jorge Anaya, this version of the traditional favorite teaches about items of clothing and places.   The song is from Whistlefritz’s CD CHA, CHA, CHA — Spanish Learning Songs.

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le faltan
Las dos patitas de atrás

 

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le faltan
Las dos patitas de atrás

 

Cuando la perica quiere
Que el perico vaya al cine
Se levanta muy temprano
Y le compra calcetines

Que el perico vaya al cine
Se levanta muy temprano
Y le compra calcetines

 

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le faltan
Las dos patitas de atrás

 

Cuando el perico quiere
Que la perica vaya al teatro
Se levanta muy temprano
Y le compra los zapatos

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le faltan
Las dos patitas de atrás

 

Cuando la perica quiere
Que el perica vaya al pueblo
Se levanta muy temprano
Y le compra su pañuelo

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le faltan
Las dos patitas de atrás

 

Cuando el perico quiere
Que la perica vaya a un viaje
Se levanta muy temprano
Y le compra un buen traje

The cockroach, the cockroach
Can’t walk anymore
Because he doesn’t have, because he’s missing
His two back legs

 

The cockroach, the cockroach
Can’t walk anymore
Because he doesn’t have, because he’s missing
His two back legs

 

When the female parakeet wants
The male parakeet to go to the movies
She gets up very early
And buys him socks

The male parakeet to go to the village
She gets up very early
And buys his handkerchief
