Source text - Spanish Los Tigres del Norte, La Jaula de Oro
Aquí estoy establecido
en los Estados Unidos.
Diez años pasaron ya
en que cruce de mojado.
Papeles no he arreglado,
sigo siendo un ilegal.
Tengo mi esposa y mis hijos
que me los traje muy chicos
y se han olvidado ya
de mi México querido
del que yo nunca me olvido
y no puedo regresar.
De que me sirve el dinero,
si estoy como prisionero,
dentro de esta gran nación,
cuando me acuerdo hasta lloro,
aunque la jaula sea de oro,
no deja de ser prisión.
«Y escuchame hijo,
¿te gustaría que regresáramos a vivir México?»
Whatcha talkin’ about Dad?
I don’t wanna go back to Mexico,
no way Dad.
Mis hijos no hablan conmigo
otro idioma han aprendido
y olvidado el español.
Piensan como americanos
niegan que son mexicanos,
aunque tengan mi color.
De mi trabajo a mi casa,
no se lo que me pasa.
Que aunque soy hombre de hogar,
casi no salgo a la calle,
pues tengo miedo que me hallen
y me pueden deportar.
De que me sirve el dinero
si estoy como prisionero
dentro de esta gran nación.
Cuando me acuerdo hasta lloro,
aunque la jaula sea de oro,
no deja de ser prisión.

Source text - Tagalog Sa Kuko Ng Agila
Mahirap man ang buhay
Aking matitiis
Basta't walang talikalang nakatali sa leeg
Hirap ay makakaya
Kung ako ay wala na
Sa kuko ng agila sa akin ay pumupuksa
Sa sariling lupa ay alipin ako ng banyaga
Sa kuko ng agila kailangan kong makalaya
Kailan ang tamang oras upang labanan ko
Ang mga pang aapi sagad na sa aking buto
Ngunit walang kalayaan
Habang naroroon
Sa kuko ng agila sa leeg ko nakabaon
Ako'y palayain
Sa kuko ng agilang mapang alipin
Mahirap man ang buhay
Aking matitiis
Basta't walang talikalang nakatali sa leeg
Ngunit walang kalayaan
Habang naroroon
Sa kuko ng agila sa leeg ko nakabaon
Ako'y palayain sa kuko ng agilang mapang alipin
Sa sariling lupa ay alipin ako ng banyaga
Sa kuko ng agila kailangan kong makalaya
Ako’y palayain
Sa kuko ng agilang mapang alipin

Bio
Born in Ukraine to a bilingual family, I grew up speaking Russian and Ukrainian natively. I studied English from an early age at school.
I have published a few books translated from Spanish to English and from Filipino to English. Furthermore, I have professional experience in aviation in the Customer Service department, where I have assisted customers via email in English and Russian languages. I often translated templates between English and Russian. I was recognised by the management as best employee of the month multiple times.
Not only that, but I studied Indonesian language and culture for the whole one-year period at State University of Jakarta, Indonesia. I presented Ukrainian language at the student conference in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, speaking in Indonesian language only. I am married to a Filipino woman, and I speak English and Tagalog in my family.
I studied Civil Engineering at Donbas National Academy, so I am familiar with technical terms. Likewise, I am also familiar with construction, sports, business, marketing, military and many other fields.
