Lyrics
A translation of the lyrics begins as follows: "I have my wife and children whom I brought at a very young age. They no longer remember my beloved Mexico, which I never forget and to which I can never return. What good is money if I am like a prisoner in this great nation?"[4][5][6]
The song inspired the 1987 Mexican film La jaula de oro and also the 2013 film The Golden Dream.
