Pacha Mama
darpan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be free, so free, like a flower and the bee.

Like a bird in the tree, like a dolphin in the sea.
I wanna fly high, so high, like an eagle in the sky.
And when my time has some I wanna lay down a fly.

When my time has some I wanna lay me down a fly.
Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.

Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.

I wanna be free, be me, be the being that I see.

Not to rise and not to fall, being one and loving all.
There is no high, there is no low, there is nowhere left to go.

Except inside a little star saying "be just who you are".

In inside a little star "be just who you are".
Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.
Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.

I wanna be free, so free, like a flower and the bee.
Like a bird in tree, like a dolphin in the sea.
I wanna fly high, so high, like an eagle in the sky.
And when my time has come I wanna lay down and fly.
When my time has come I wanna lay down and fly.
Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.
Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.
Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.
Pacha Mama I'm coming home, to the place where I belong.




To the place I where I belong.
To the place I where I belong.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Darpan's song "Pacha Mama" convey a strong desire for freedom and a connection to nature. The song begins with the singer expressing their yearning for freedom, using images of a flower and bee, bird in a tree, and dolphin in the sea to illustrate their desire to be unencumbered and unrestrained. They want to fly high like an eagle in the sky and eventually lay down and rest when their time has come.


The song then moves into a declaration of belonging to the earth, with the repetitive refrain of "Pacha Mama, I'm coming home, to the place where I belong." Pacha Mama is a term used in the Andean cultures of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador to refer to the earth mother, representing the nurturing and sustaining qualities of nature. The repetition of this refrain emphasizes the singer's deep connection to the earth and their desire to return to the place where they feel most at home.


The final verse of the song speaks to the importance of being true to oneself and accepting oneself for who they are. The singer declares that there is no need to strive for anything external, but instead to look inward and be content with being who they are. This message of self-acceptance fits in with the overall theme of the song, which is a celebration of nature and a longing to be free and connected.
