Salario Mínimo
Liliana Felipe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aguascalientes, 23 de diciembre del 2003.
Ramón Godinez Flores,
obispo de la diócesis local,
externó que una familia puede vivir
con un salario mínimo,
ya que dijo que quien logra subsistir
con 42 pesos diariamente,
por contar con un trabajo.
No es con dinero con lo que comemos,
comemos con la salud corporal,
con el trabajo físico que Dios
nos concede realizar,
y así es como tiene sentido nuestra vida,
no por el dinero que pasa por nuestras manos,
aseguró el prelado.
Agregó que él gana 4 mil mensuales,
que calificó de suficientes para realizar su labor.
No comentó que esa cantidad
sería prácticamente libre,
pues sus gastos son costeados por la diócesis que encabeza.

The lyrics to Liliana Felipe's song Salario Mínimo are a critique and denouncement of the idea that a family can live on minimum wage. The lyrics reference a statement made by Ramón Godinez Flores, the bishop of the local diocese in Aguascalientes, Mexico, in 2003. The statement suggests that those who can subsist on 42 pesos (the daily minimum wage at the time) should be grateful for having a job and that it is not money that sustains us, but physical health and the ability to work. The lyrics challenge this argument by pointing out the economic and social realities facing families who earn minimum wage, including the difficulties they face in paying rent, buying food, and accessing healthcare.
The lyrics also highlight the disconnect between those in positions of power and those struggling to survive on minimum wage. The bishop's statement that his monthly salary of 4000 pesos is sufficient for his work is contrasted with the reality that many families earn less than that in a month and struggle to make ends meet. The lyrics suggest that such statements perpetuate inequality and allow those in power to overlook the struggles faced by working-class families.
Overall, the song Salario Mínimo serves as a powerful critique of the notion that minimum wage is adequate for the needs of working-class families. The lyrics highlight the disconnect between those in positions of power and those struggling to survive, and call attention to the systemic inequalities facing working people in Mexico.
