For the sake of those who earlier asked for translations, let me take a shot at these last and then Q-as-guest can make corrections:
Todas las muchachas tienen All the girls have En los [las?] ojos dos estrellas Two stars in their eyes, Pero las mejicanitas But the little Mexican girls De seguro son mas bellas. Are certainly the most beautiful. Una cucaracha pinta A painted cockroach Le dijo' a una colorada Told a red one Vamonos para mi tierra Let's go to my place A pasar la temporada. To pass some time.
Does a "red cockroach" have political overtones? Are we talking a Leftist cockroach? Or is this whole verse best rendered, "'My, my, my,' said the spider to the fly?" Chicken Charlie
