and this goes to the people of Badillo

and we changed the milk that was once

person who arrived aguacoche wanting to

one touch tell him joyful love he had

a person who arrived by car with desire

It's time for one to arrive at her house and I have

found alone woman the door and was

bar that I get to her house and I have

found alone push the door and

she was quiet because moralito is a

disease that is everywhere

because moralito is a bad fever that

be everywhere

Rodolfo Quintero

Morales is alive Morales

for all the towns they say that he lives

touching but by madaure he doesn't like it

to reach all the towns they say that

he lives playing but he doesn't like it because he's mature

arrive I think Morales

since he suddenly finds it there I

I think Morales are afraid of him, Emiliano, no

maybe he suddenly finds it there

he saw me without seeing him but a friend told me

I am moralito you can not find it

if he is not in coda and look for him in

Badillo, if he's not in Badillo, he's around

sideburn if it is not in nudge and look for it

in Badillo and walking around is not invaded

sideburns because moralito is a fever

bad that all the parties are

because purple is a Andariego man

that change the nest or the cockroach

Or if not, ask Rodo Escalona

Molina or the Montero monkey They know

where is

Tell him love, Ale, that I want to

see him tell me where we can

find Say love to the army of

see him tell me where we can

find people tell me that's where

farelo that he was very ill and

wants to cure people tell me that it is

where farelo was very sick and

wants to cure because moralito is a

disease that is everywhere and in

the world is ready because morale I go up

wanderers who change the nest or the

place because moralito is a bad fever

they are everywhere and nowhere

cucarachero — wren (bird)

Cucarachero literally translates to "cockroach catcher", but it's the common name for a wren, a small bird known for its active and often migratory nature.

In the song, the lyrics state, "porque moralito es un hombre andariego que cambian el nido ni el cucarachero" (because Moralito is a wandering man who changes his nest like the wren). This metaphor highlights Moralito's restless and nomadic lifestyle, comparing him to a bird that frequently moves its home. It's an interesting and somewhat rare word to find in lyrics, making it memorable.

Get ready for a musical game of hide-and-seek! This classic Vallenato song is a playful search for a wandering musician named Morales, also known as "Moralito." The singer describes him as a "bad fever" and an "illness that's everywhere," not because he's a bad guy, but because his presence and his music are infectious and spread from town to town. He's also compared to a cucarachero, a type of bird known for constantly changing its nest, which gives the song its title.

The singer is on a mission to find this elusive artist. He hears that Morales is playing music in all the towns, but he's hard to pin down. The lyrics give us clues, suggesting we look for him in places like Codazzi, Badillo, or Patillal. However, Morales seems to avoid one town in particular, perhaps because of someone named Emiliano! The song is a fun tribute to a restless, wandering spirit who can't stay in one place for long.
