about

El movimiento migrante en USA se alza como una esperanza para la comunidad migrante que es explotada y oprimida

lyrics

Juan is a worker
He works all day long
The boss takes his money
And his joy

Siiii (or, yeah!)

Maria cries
Cooped up in her house all the time
Her hunger grows
As the food runs out

How long, how long, my people
How long until people wake up
How long, how long, my people
when will the worker stop being ashamed

They fired Juan
Just for getting sick
COVID wasn’t what he had
But it was a good enough excuse

Siiii

Farm workers
Students and teachers
Face discrimination
Just for being hispanic

How long, how long, my people
How long until people wake up
How long, how long, my people



Interlude

Even the children who have papers
Can’t get support
And the immigrant children
Are shoved in cages
when will the worker stop being ashamed


Siiii

Maria complained
When they harassed her
They knew she had no right
So they could silence her


How long, how long, my people
How long until people wake up
How long, how long, my people
when will the worker stop being ashamed

The workers’ strike has arrived
Just like the tide
People are rising up
And no one can stop them


Siiiii

The people are coming together
Marching in the streets
Fists in the air
Mirgant Dignity.

How long, how long, my people
How long until people wake up
How long, how long, my people
when will the worker stop being ashamed

COVID came to visit
I barely survived
But others have died

Juan es obrero
trabaja todo el dia
el patron le ah robado
dinero y alegria

Siiii

Maria esta llorando
Metida siempre en casa
El hambre esta engordando
Se acabo la comida

Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Hasta cuando despertara el pueblo
Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Dejaran de humillar al obrero

A Juan lo corrieron
Por que se enfermo
No tenia el covid
De pretexto les sirvio

Siiii

Obreras campesinos
Estudiantes y maestros
Son discriminados
Solo por ser hispanos

Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Hasta cuando despertara el pueblo
Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Dejaran de humillar al obrero

Inter

A niños ciudadanos
les niegan la asistencia
Y a niños inmigrantes
En jaulas los someten

Siiii

Maria se queja
De que la acosaron
No tienen derechos
Silencio lograron

Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Hasta cuando despertara el pueblo
Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Dejaran de humillar al obrero


La huelga ha llegado
Igual que los mares
El Pueblo se levante
Ya no hay quien lo pare

Siiiii


El pueblo se une
marchando en las calles
el puño levantado
dignidad inmigrante

Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Hasta cuando despertara el pueblo
Hasta cuando hasta cuando mi gente
Dejaran de humillar al obrero
