"La Cucaracha" is a traditional Spanish folk song that describes a cockroach unable to walk because it's missing a leg. The name translates to "The Cockroach" in English, not necessarily "little cockroach".
The song itself is in the public domain; certain performances and recordings have their own protections.
Excellent question. Why WOULD anyone write a song about a cockroach? Redbeard, why even bother answering a question if it isn't any help?
The song actually is saying that all that Mexico has to offer to tourists are 'cucarachas' or roaches in English. A not so appealing scenario for any tourist!
