Mamá’s Boy Lyrics English Translation by Eladio Carrión & Nach
Sol María, today I give you your flowers, thank you for your values
Nani, Chachi, and I, you raised a pair of gladiators
Mom and dad, thank you, God, for giving me these mentors
I’ve made mistakes fighting with dementors
Father Time, I made you a song so you don’t get mad
From family gatherings to meetings with doctors, yeah
Time flies so fast, no matter how much you ignore it
You don’t know how much I’ve admired you, I know you love me more than anyone
Because no one has looked at me like you have
I have a giant heart, and it’s because of how you raised me
You always stay strong, no matter who has turned away
I feel invincible when you’re by my side
I’ll always be your baby, no matter how many times the world has turned
And if in another life you’re not my mother, then let there be no light
I won’t call anyone “Mom” if it’s not you
With love, you gave your youth to your children
Now we’re here giving it back to you
Father Time, come, I have another offer for you
I’ll leave all the jets, first-class on Delta
Just to see your face, ma
And when I look for the sun, that’s when it starts raining more
I love you, Sol María
I made this song for you, so you can listen to it every day
You had faith in me when I had none
You believed in me when I lost faith
For you, I left all the garbage and gangster stuff
You loved me unconditionally from day one
You endured all my rebellious years
I don’t want to know anyone else, only you and Via, hey
Mama’s boy, mama’s boy, tell me something I don’t know
The notes in the lunchbox on the first day of school
Mama’s boy, mama’s boy, let the whole world know
Sol María, I adore you, I dedicate this letter to you
Mama’s boy, mama’s boy, tell me something I don’t know
The notes in the lunchbox, yeah
Mama’s boy, mama’s boy, yeah
Yeah
Mama’s boy, let everyone know
Today I write it proudly in my notebook
Mama’s boy, your words hold me up
When I pick up this suitcase with reluctance
Mom, this crazy life is not to blame
If I was selfish and didn’t call sometimes, I apologize
I was lost in a thousand conflicts
For reaching the peaks that others never touched
And today I take it easy, ma, the sensations
I think about what you would do with all my decisions
I don’t measure my success by fame, but by values
That’s why I’m with the good ones, not the best ones
What you didn’t have, you wanted me to have
If something was missing, you filled it with passion and love
You were the best guide in this jungle
That puppy yesterday is now a man with honor
I look at you, and I know I did the right thing
Launching myself to conquer the world with raps
You said the heart is always right
To use both my wings without looking back
The street made me strong, books made me wise
Your advice was gold between your lips
Now I share this tribute with Eladio
Mom, your voice is also heard in my words
