From the recording Midnight Conversations
Lyrics
My Mama Said Mama Me Dijo by Valen Nyx
She said it just like that
Ooh ahh... Mamá said
My momma said, "Don't rush love, it'll wait
Mamá me dijo que el corazón no se miente
She brushed my hair with her calloused hands
Turned silence into words I could understand
Mamá me dijo / My momma knew
Life's gonna test what you hold true
If he don't see you, baby, shine alone
You are the fire, you are your own
My momma said, "You don't have to smile
Mamá me dijo que el dolor también es real
She had no pearls, but her truth was rare
And every tear she caught became a prayer
Mamá me dijo / My momma knew
Speak with love, but never lose you
Even when the nights feel twice as long
Her words still play like an old love song
She said, 'Mija, don't let them dim your light
And if you fall—fall like thunder, not like shame
Her voice was my gospel
Her silence, my flame
Mamá me dijo / My momma said
Don't chase love that makes you beg
And in my shadow, when I'm unsure
Her voice returns, steady and pure
Mamá me dijooooo
My mama said
Don't chase love that makes you beg
And in my shadow when I'm unsure
Her voice returns steady and pure
Still steady
Still pure
That's right Mamma you always knew
Mamá me dijo
And she still does
