Da, Mama Lyrics in English Delia

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Da, Mama by Delia from Romanian to English.
I don't accept geometry in love
A love triangle, walking on a thin string
And I'm not scared to fall, I'm scared that you might fall
You can't drown bitterness in wine for too long
But time goes by and I want to see love passing too
To see love passing too
But I've got a bag full of dreams
I'm afraid of the dark, yet I run through streets with the lanterns off
So nobody sees me
From cried-out love
But I've got a bag full of dreams
I'm afraid of the dark, yet I run through streets with the lanterns off
So nobody sees me
From cried-out love
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too
It's not pain but hope that kills me
And I try to forget every night
And I'm not scared to lose, I'm scared that you might lose
I swear I won't call him again, even if I'm desperate
Just like I used to every single time
I smile now only because you're watching me
But I've got a bag full of dreams
I'm afraid of the dark, yet I run through streets with the lanterns off
So nobody sees me
From cried-out love
But I've got a bag full of dreams
I'm afraid of the dark, yet I run through streets with the lanterns off
So nobody sees me
From cried-out love
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too
I don't cry now
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
No, no, no, no, no, no
And I'm gonna forget his love
And I'm gonna drink
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this too
Yeah, mom, I'm drunk
Because otherwise I can't forget him
And I don't need your forgiveness
Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

SONG MEANING

“Da, Mama” is Delia’s late-night phone call home, where heartbreak, rebellion, and a splash of humor all spill out at once. Over a pulsing beat, she confesses to her mother that she is “beată”—drunk—because it is the only way she can numb the sting of lost love. Yet her tipsy honesty is anything but defeatist: she refuses the “geometry” of complicated love triangles, races through dark streets with the lamps switched off, and clings to a purse full of dreams even while her heart is in pieces.

Beneath the catchy hook lies a bold statement of self-ownership. Delia admits her flaws, but she also pushes back against judgment, reminding Mom (and all of us) that everyone has stumbled through love’s messy chapters at some point. The song becomes a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever tried to drown sorrow in a glass, argued with hope itself, and still chosen to laugh in the face of pain. In short, “Da, Mama” turns post-breakup chaos into a fearless, empowering sing-along that lets you dance while you heal.
