- Verse:
- If you love a song of freedom;
Sing the Cucaracha proudly;
Some must go where others lead'em, Follow me and sing
it loudly!
All the life and love and laughter, Linger in this rebel
tune;
Sing it for the things you're after, Underneath the sun
and moon.
-
- Chorus:
- La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha,
Heart and soul of Mexico!
- La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha,
Sing it high and sing it low.
- La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha,
Song of fighting and romance!
- La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha,
Now a march and now a dance.
