Hmmm... mind translating for the ignorant? Oh, its just some popular Mexican song that people always sing wrong, usually like: "La cucaracha, la cucaracha!... la-la-la-la-la-la-la! La cucaracha, la cucaracha!... bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla!" What I wrote is not the whole song, but its the intro; translated it goes like this: "The cockroach, the cockroach, he is not able to walk, because "no falta" (I forget the translation), because he does not have a foot for walking." The makers of the song were actually singing about a car they had, that broke down. It was really old, so they called it The Cockroach, Grandfather of the Beetle. ;D At least, thats what I've heard. Killerzzz ... ... That's a really creepy song.

dict.leo.org (Spanish section) says that "la falta" means the lack of something. Something's missing.
"No tiene" means "he has not", if I remember correctly.
The rest of the translation seems to be correct.
I think this song was written by someone who had quite a hatred towards cockroaches.

Especially when I recall about a freaking roach taking a chunk out of my leg.
