about
Gold Chains fuses neo soul with Latin jazz and RnB to celebrate pride in immigrant heritage. Inspired by the colonial quest for gold in her mother's native Latin America, Cecilia's Gold Chains is an attempt to reappropriate pride in her heritage's native, natural land and the sacrifices made by our ancestors.
lyrics
Mami, born of the ocean
Money, use her for gold, her
Body gave birth to a metaphor
You sacrificed all of your life so she could have (more)
Inherited beauty and pain
Cristobal can explain
(She’s a queen in gold chains)
Inherited beauty and pain
Cristobal can explain
(She’s a queen in gold chains)
Don’t nobody touch my pride
Don’t nobody can deny
I’m born of sacrifice
Don’t nobody touch my pride
Don’t nobody can deny
I’m born of sacrifice
Baby, nadie puede tocarme
Peligrosa, mujer venenosa
Nadie puedes negarme
gave birth to a metaphor
You sacrificed your life for me
Inherited beauty and pain
Cristobal can explain
(She’s a queen in gold chains)
Inherited beauty and pain
Cristobal can explain
(She’s a queen in gold chains)
Don’t nobody touch my pride
Don’t nobody can deny (Don’t nobody can deny)
I’m born of sacrifice
Don’t nobody touch my pride
Don’t nobody can deny
I’m born of sacrifice
Mami, born of the ocean
Money, use her for gold her
Body, gave birth to the metaphor
You sacrificed your life for me
I love you, I do
No matter how you change
I love you, I do
No matter how you’ve changed
