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.
