Here I am established
In the United States
Ten years have passed
In which wet crossing
Papers I have not fixed
I'm still an illegal
I have my wife and children
That I brought them very young
And they have already forgotten
From my beloved Mexico
That I never forget
And I can't go back
What good is the money for me?
If I am a prisoner
Within this great nation
When I remember I even cry
Even if the cage is made of gold
It is still a prison
'Listen to me son
Would you like us to return to live Mexico?'
'Whatcha talkin' about dad?
I don't wanna go back to Mexico, no way dad'
My children don't talk to me
Another language they have learned, and forgotten Spanish
They think like Americans, deny they are Mexicans
Even if they have my color
From my work to my home
I don't know what's wrong with me
That although I am a man of home
I hardly go outside
Well, I'm afraid they'll find me
And I can be deported
What good is the money for me?
If I am a prisoner
Within this great nation
When I remember I even cry
Even if the cage is made of gold
It is still a prison
