The Golden Cage
The Golden Cage
Mexican Migrant Workers and Vermont Dairy Farmers
From the Mexican-American Song by Los Tigres del Norte:
“De que me sirve el dinero
Si estoy como prisionero
Dentro de esta gran nacion
Cuando Me acuerdo hasta lloro
Aunque la jaula sea de oro
No deja de ser prision”
“What good is money
If I am like a prisoner
Within this huge nation
When I remember I even cry
Although the cage is golden
It’s still a prison”
