Sol María, today I give you your flowers, thank you for your values
Nani, Chachi and me, 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 rush
From family reunions to meetings with doctors
Time passes 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 nobody has looked at me the way you have
I have a giant heart and it's because of how you raised me
You always stay firm, no matter who has turned away
I feel invincible when you're by my side
I'm going to keep being your baby, no matter how many times the world has spun
And if in another life you're not my mother, then I don't even want to be born
I won't call anyone 'Mommy' if it isn't you
With love you gave your children your youth
Now we're here giving it back to you
Father time, come here, I have another offer for you
I'll leave all the jets, the first class on Delta
Just to be able to see that face of yours, ma
And when I look for the sun is when it starts to rain more
I love you, Sol María
I made this song for you, so you can sit and listen to it every day
You had faith in me when I didn't even have any
You believed in me when I was losing my faith
For you I left all the bullsh*t and the gangster life
You loved me unconditionally from the first day
You put up with all my rebellious years
I don't wanna hear from anyone, only you and Via
Mama's boy, mama's boy, tell me something I don't know
The little notes in the lunchbox on the first day of high school
Mama's boy, mama's boy, let the whole world know
Sol María, I adore you, I dedicate these lyrics to you
Mama's boy, mama's boy, tell me something I don't know
The little notes in the lunchbox
Mama's boy, mama's boy, yeah
Mama's boy, let everyone know
Today I write it with pride in my notebook
Mama's boy, your words hold me up
When I reluctantly grab this suitcase
Mom, this crazy life isn't to blame
If sometimes I was selfish and didn't call, I'm sorry
I was lost among a thousand brawls
For reaching the peaks that others never touched
And today I take it easy, ma, with these feelings
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 with the best ones
What you didn't have, you wanted me to have
If something was missing, you filled it with effort and love
You were the best guide in this jungle
That cub from yesterday, today is a man of honor
I look at you and I know I did the right thing
Throwing myself out to take on the world and conquer it with raps
You said that the heart is always right
That I should use my two wings without looking back
The street made me strong, the books made me wise
Your advice was gold between your lips
Now I share this homage with Eladio
Mom, your voice is also heard in my phrases

dementores — dementors

Dementores directly translates to "dementors," a term famously known from the Harry Potter series. It's a striking and unexpected word to find in a song, making it highly memorable.

In the lyrics, Eladio Carrion sings, "He cometido errores peleando con dementores" (I've made mistakes fighting with dementors). He uses this vivid metaphor to represent the dark, soul-sucking challenges or negative influences he has faced in his life, personifying his struggles in a unique and engaging way.

"Mama's Boy" is Eladio Carrión's tribute to his mother, Sol María, and he says so from the first line: "Sol María, hoy te doy tus flores, gracias por tus valores" [Sol María, today I give you your flowers, thank you for your values]. He admits his failures — "He cometido errores peleando con dementores" [I've made mistakes fighting with dementors] — and promises he'll never outgrow needing her: "Voy a seguir siendo tu bebé, no importa cuántas veces el mundo haya girado" [I'm going to keep being your baby, no matter how many times the world has spun].

The hook turns the title into pride instead of an insult: "Mama's boy, mama's boy, que to' el mundo lo sepa" [Mama's boy, mama's boy, let the whole world know]. By the last verse he credits her directly for who he became — "La calle me hizo fuerte, los libros me hicieron sabio" [The street made me strong, the books made me wise] — and closes the song hearing her in his own voice: "Mamá, tu voz también se escucha entre mis frases" [Mom, your voice is also heard in my phrases].
