lyrics

She washes me and sings to me cucaracha
Almost every night of my life
She sings to me the French version of Frère Jacques
But forgets to teach me how to sing to her

Wash this brown out of us
It’s the only way we’ll make it
If you say it’s cuz you’re lazy
You lie
Thank you for a better life
I don’t mean to be ungrateful
You took us from the Valley you tried

You could have dumped us in the river
Crying all the time
You could have been a legend
Instead you went inside

Dejame sola, como moleste
I am tired, let me rest
Some say Apache, some say Comanche
No me recuerdo, dejame

I could have been a martyr
Dying and in pain
I could have made you holy
Instead I gave you shame

Wash this brown out of us
It’s the only way we’ll make it
If you say it’s for the better
You deny
Thank you for the lessons
I don’t guess I’d change a moment
I don’t blame you but I wish that you’d a tried

Oooh

Wash this brown out of us
It’s the only way we’ll make it
If you say it’s cuz you’re lazy
You lie
Thank you for a better life
I don’t mean to be ungrateful
You took us from the Valley you tried

Cucaracha cucaracha
Cucaracha cucaracha
Ay ay ay ay

She washes me and sings to me cucaracha
Almost every night of my life
