Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya no puede caminar
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene
La se帽ora cucaracha
Se ha comprado una bombacha
Toda llena de botones
Y adornada con hilachas
"Qu茅 bombacha mamarracha"
Le gritaban los ratones
Pero a do帽a cucaracha
No le importan opiniones
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
Cuca-cuca, cucaracha
Cucaracha mamarracha
Cuca-cuca, cucaracha
Cucaracha, y a bailar
Ay, mi cucarachita
Mambo, qu茅 bonita es esta cucaracha
Epa, epa
La cucaracha, la cucaracha (la se帽ora cucaracha)
Ya no puede caminar (se ha comprado una bombacha)
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene (toda llena de botones)
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
La cucaracha, la cucaracha (qu茅 bombacha mamarracha)
Ya no puede caminar (le dijeron los ratones)
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene (pero a do帽a cucaracha)
Las dos patitas de atr谩s (no le importan opiniones)
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque le faltan, porque no tiene
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
Las dos patitas de atr谩s
The song "La Cucaracha" by Duo Tiempo de Sol is a playful and catchy tune about a cockroach that cannot walk because it is missing its two hind legs. The repetitive chorus emphasizes this point, and the verses offer some humorous anecdotes about the cockroach's life. In one verse, the cockroach's owner, the "se帽ora cucaracha," buys a pair of pants with buttons and fringes, but the other animals make fun of her, calling her "mamarracha." Despite the criticism, the cockroach and its owner continue to dance and enjoy life.
The song has a light-hearted and whimsical tone, but it also speaks to themes of resilience and creativity in the face of adversity. The cockroach might have lost its legs, but it continues to find ways to move and thrive. Similarly, the se帽ora cucaracha doesn't let the opinions of others bring her down, and she continues to express herself through fashion and dance.
Overall, "La Cucaracha" is a fun and upbeat song that celebrates perseverance and self-expression in the face of challenges.
