MAHOMA Lyrics in English by Los Dareyes De La Sierra
Mahoma is the Spanish name for Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. It's a highly unusual and intriguing word to find in a corrido, making it stand out immediately.
In the song, the lyric "Como lo hizo Mahoma, lo nuestro lo tengo escrito" (Like Mahoma did, I have ours written) suggests a comparison to the prophet's role in writing sacred texts. The artist is implying that their love or destiny is similarly predetermined and significant, almost like a sacred script.
Los Dareyes De La Sierra's "MAHOMA" is a bold and direct declaration of desire and loyalty. The singer is completely smitten, promising to stay if his demands are met: "Si tú me das lo que te pido, te lo juro que me quedo" [If you give me what I ask for, I swear I'll stay]. He sees this person as his ultimate comfort, someone who "sanas todos mis miedos" [heals all my fears] and lifts him up when he's down, even to the sky.
He's not afraid to be a little cheeky, wondering "¿Por qué tan solita? Si te veo moviendo el culito, te culeo" [Why so alone? If I see you moving your butt, I'll make you mine]. He's upfront about his past, admitting "No soy perfecto, bebé" [I'm not perfect, baby], but for this person, he'd leave all others behind. The song also touches on a life of danger and excitement, with mentions of "narcopedos" [drug-related parties], "fierros" [guns], and the police, suggesting a world where this connection is even more vital. He even compares his certainty about their future to Mahoma, saying "Como lo hizo Mahoma, lo nuestro lo tengo escrito" [Like Mahoma did, I have our future written down]. It's a passionate, no-holds-barred song about finding that one person who makes you want to change, even in a chaotic world.
