[00:01.05]Oh Mama No - Vienna Teng
[00:06.92]All day,
[00:09.48]One long tethered motion:
[00:12.85]Sweep, stir, sow.
[00:18.65]This is her kingdom,
[00:22.05]An inheritance that you can’t deny.
[00:25.86]Oh mama no, oh mama no.
[00:29.42]Oh mama no I will.
[00:33.23]Come down, child,
[00:36.21]From your gates and connections.
[00:39.78]Sleep, slur, slow.
[00:45.88]This is where you come from,
[00:49.26]The anchor that you can’t leave behind.
[00:52.51]Oh mama no, oh mama no.
[00:55.63]Oh mama no I will.
[01:00.13]So mama learns your tribal lingo,
[01:03.61]Tolerates the time between calls,
[01:06.61]Catalogues the years and makes a note of all
[01:10.29]Your endless goings-on.
[01:10.85]
[01:12.61]When her sentences start to repeat,
[01:15.76]And her voice in the night is reaching
[01:19.31]Oh mama please don’t leave me.
[01:24.63]And then one day,
[01:28.61]In the boxes upon boxes:
[01:31.62]Grieve, give, go.
[01:37.60]Maybe you can learn how
[01:41.16]If you never feel the dark, never see the light.
[01:46.96]Oh mama no, oh mama no.
[01:50.07]Oh mama no I will.
[01:53.01]Oh mama no, oh mama no.
[01:56.44]Oh mama no I will.
[01:59.25]Oh mama know, oh mama know
[02:03.13]Mama you know I will.
