Мама 🤍

Verse 1
I impose just like my mom,
She imposes like her mom,
This has been going on for a million years,
And my daughter does the same thing I do.

I keep forgetting like my dad
I sleep long like my dad
and that dream lasts a million years
and my daughter does the same thing I do

Verse 2
I’ll understand you like my mom did,
We'll fight for what we believe in,*
Happiness is truly simple,*
My daughter will know the same like I do

Verse 3
Like my mom
And my mom’s mom
And my mom’s mom, and her mom, and her mom.
You look at a thousand women,
Times a thousand women,
We’re all here and you’re all here,
I don’t change, I don’t cease.

Chorus
I am the root, I am the branch,
It just seems like I'm alone.
Behind me stands my mom,
Behind my mom, her mom.

Verse 4
A million years
A million years, ha-a-a
A million years
I don’t change, I don’t cease,*
I don’t change, I don’t cease,
I don’t change, I don’t cease,
We’re all here, and you’re all here.
I don’t change, I don’t cease,
I just am…

Chorus
I am the root, I am the branch,
It just seems like I'm alone.
Behind me stands my mom,
Behind my mom, her mom.

The Ending
I see the same light of day,
The same moon circles while I sleep.
My mom follows me,(My mom is always with me)
Behind my mom, her mom,
And my mom’s mom, and her mom, and her mom.

Outro
You look at a thousand women,
Times a thousand women,
We’re all here and you’re all here,
I don’t change, I don’t cease.

This song is a powerful reflection on identity, generational connections, and the enduring strength of family. Through vivid imagery and repetition, Konstrakta explores the continuity of life, as she navigates her role within a long line of women - from her mother to her ancestors. The lyrics convey the sense of persistence and unwavering presence, highlighting how the past, present, and future are interconnected. It’s a celebration of simply being, a reminder that happiness and identity are found in the simplicity of existing and being supported by those who came before.

  • In this context, when Konstrakta sings "Borićemo se za ideju" ("We’ll fight for the cause or idea"), she is likely referring to fighting for a belief, value, or principle that is important to her and passed down through generations. The word "ideja" can mean "idea," "cause," or "ideal," and in this context, it seems to imply something worth struggling for - perhaps a worldview, a set of values, or a cause that the speaker and her family believe in deeply.

    Given the generational aspect of the song, it seems that the fight for this "idea" is something inherited, not just a personal or isolated cause. It’s a fight for what matters in life - possibly for personal freedom, family values, or social beliefs - that connects her with her mother and, eventually, her daughter.

    So, when Konstrakta says "fight for the idea," she likely means standing up for a deeply held principle or belief, something central to her identity and passed from one generation to the next.

  • Dear Konstrakta seems to be expressing the idea that true happiness doesn't need to be complicated or elusive, does it?..

    It suggests that happiness can be found in basic, everyday things -perhaps in connection to family, understanding, or living authentically. ❣️

    This line may be a reminder to focus on what truly matters, rather than chasing complex or unattainable ideals.

    In the context of the song, where she reflects on generational connections and values, this could imply that happiness lies in the simple, passed-down experiences and wisdom that bind people together - family, love, or shared understanding. ❤️

  • Feels like an assertion of continuity and persistence across generations, emphasizing an ongoing identity or legacy that doesn’t change or fade.

    Also, conveys the idea of the collective presence of all the women in the family, which fits with the sense of empowerment and connection that runs throughout the song :)
