Reina Mora

Black Queen

Reina Mora

Walls, they come to hold me backMurallas, que vienen a pararme
And that’s not an option from now onY esa no es opción de ahora en adelante
Crosses, that don’t make any senseCruzadas, que no vienen a cuento

Anyone aims for the center while calling me a cowardCualquiera apunta al centro mientras dice cobarde
Creaks, mimicking heartbeatsCrujidos, simulando latidos
Now that I can breathe and save myselfAhora que me da el aire y puedo salvarme
And I can save myselfY puedo salvarme

Moans, now turned to whistlesGemidos, que ahora son silbidos
A simple memory of what could have beenUn simple recuerdo de lo que pudo haber sido
Could have beenPudo haber sido
And now, that I’m the Black QueenY ahora, que soy la reina Mora

With flowers and turbans, don’t even think about stopping me, stopping meCon flores y turbantes no se te ocurra pararme, pararme
Don’t even think about stopping meNo se te ocurra pararme
The lighthouse, that shines from my chestEl faro, que sale de mi pecho
I turned it inward to see my inner workingsLo giré hacia adentro para ver mi engranaje

My body, will be my own harborMi cuerpo, será mi propio puerto
And my horizon is whatever’s in front of meY mi horizonte lo que tenga delante
The bars, that you put on yourselfLas rejas, que te pones a ti misma
Are taken down bite by bite with self-esteemSe quitan a bocaitos de autoestima

Miracles, I believe in miraclesMilagros, yo creo en los milagros
In the verse, the pinch, and in the birthEn el verso, el pellizco y en el parto
And now, that I’m the Black QueenY ahora, que soy la reina Mora
With flowers and turbans, don’t even think about stopping me, stopping meCon flores y turbantes no se te ocurra pararme, pararme

Don’t even think about stopping meNo se te ocurra pararme
And now, that I’m the Black QueenY ahora, que soy la reina Mora
With flowers and turbans, don’t even think about stopping me, stopping meCon flores y turbantes no se te ocurra pararme, pararme
Stopping mePararme
