Raphael — Costumbres song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Costumbres" by Raphael.
Lyrics
Costumbres, viejas costumbres
no dejan al mundo correr,
costumbres, viejas costumbres
nos atan de manos y pies.
Razones sin fundamentos
caminos que hay que recorrer,
los quieras o no los quieras,
pues son costumbres de ayer.
El hombre lleva cadenas
que el mundo le pone al nacer
costumbres que son cadenas,
cadenas que no se ven.
Un día le cuelgan un nombre,
que carga una vida con el,
le guste o no le guste,
no importa su parecer.
Después le enseñan lo mismo,
que a este, que a ese o aquel
le enseñan viejas costumbres
que aprende sin saber porque.
Y el día que quiere ser libre
e intenta volar, por ahi correr,
se acuerda de las costumbres
y vuelve a lo mismo otra vez…
(Gracias a Alberto por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
Customs, old customs
they don't let the world run,
Customs, old customs
they tie us hands and feet.
Unsubstantiated reasons
paths to follow,
you want them or you don't want them,
well, it's the customs of yesterday.
The man wears chains
that the world puts you at birth
customs that are chains,
chains you can't see.
One day they hang a name,
that carries a life with the,
like it or not like it,
it doesn't matter what you think.
Then they teach him the same thing,
that to this, that to that or that
they teach him old ways
who learns without knowing why.
And the day she wants to be free
and try to fly, run around,
he remembers the customs
and go back to the same thing again…
