"El Padre Nuestro que el Yankee le Reza al oro de México" is a Spanish phrase that translates to "The Lord's Prayer that the Yankee prays to the gold of Mexico." The phrase is a line from a poem by Mexican writer Manuel Carpio. The poem criticizes the way that the United States and other foreign powers exploited Mexico's natural resources, particularly its gold, for their own gain. The line "El Padre Nuestro que el Yankee le reza al oro de México" suggests that the Yankee (a colloquial term for Americans) cares more about Mexico's gold than its people and that they worship the gold as if it were a god.
