Lyrics
Por esas viejas tradiciones
Hemos estado tanto tiempo juntos
Y por guardar las apariencias
Hemos vivido sin amor alguno
Llegar a casa cada día
Llenaba de melancolía el alma
Y despedirse al otro dia era la huida
De una vida falsa
Por no saber decir a tiempo
Vete ya de mí
Por ocultar los sentimientos
Por querer mentir
Por esas viejas tradiciones
Se fueron tantas emociones nuevas
Y sin amor por conveniencia
Perdimos tantas ocasiones buenas
En cada frase había un reproche
Mirar ausente y tantas noches solas
Y en cada gesto había un pretexto
Para evitar el encontrarse a solas
Por no saber decir a tiempo
Vete ya de mí
Por ocultar los sentimientos
Por querer mentir
Por esas viejas tradiciones
Hemos estado tanto tiempo juntos
Y por guardar las apariencias
Hemos vivido sin amor alguno
En cada frase había un reproche
Mirar ausente y tantas noches solas
Y en cada gesto había un pretexto
Para evitar el encontrarse a solas
Por esas viejas tradiciones
Se fueron tantas emociones nuevas
Y sin amor por conveniencia
Perdimos tantas ocasiones buenas
Lyrics translation
By those old traditions
We've been together so long
And for keeping appearances
We have lived without any love
Getting home every day
It filled the soul with melancholy
And saying goodbye the other day was the flight
From a false life
For not knowing how to say in time
Get away from me now
For hiding feelings
For wanting to lie
By those old traditions
So many new emotions went
And without love for convenience
We missed so many good chances
In every sentence there was a reproach
Look away and so many lonely nights
And in every gesture there was a pretext
To avoid being alone
For not knowing how to say in time
Get away from me now
For hiding feelings
For wanting to lie
By those old traditions
We've been together so long
And for keeping appearances
We have lived without any love
In every sentence there was a reproach
Look away and so many lonely nights
And in every gesture there was a pretext
To avoid being alone
By those old traditions
So many new emotions went
And without love for convenience
We missed so many good chances
