Viejas Tradiciones (Old Traditions)

For those old traditionsPor esas viejas tradiciones
We've been together for so longhemos estado tanto tiempo juntos
And to keep up appearancesY por guardar las apariencias
We've lived without any lovehemos vivido sin amor alguno.

Coming home every dayLlegar a casa cada día
Filled the soul with melancholyLlenaba de melancolía el alma
And saying goodbye the next dayY despedirse al otro día
Was the escape from a false lifeEra la huida de una vida falsa.

For not knowing how to say in timePor no saber decir a tiempo
Get out of my life,Vete ya de mi,
For hiding feelings,Por ocultar los sentimientos,
For wanting to liePor querer mentir.

For those old traditionsPor esas viejas tradiciones
So many new emotions leftse fueron tantas emociones nuevas
And without love for convenienceY sin amor por conveniencias
We missed so many good opportunitiesperdimos tantas ocasiones buenas.

In every phrase there was a reproachEn cada frase había un reproche
Looking absent and so many lonely nightsmirar ausente y tantas noches solas,
And in every gesture there was a pretextY en cada gesto había un pretexto
To avoid being alone togetherpara evitar el encontrarse a solas.

For not knowing how to say in timePor no saber decir a tiempo
Get out of my life,Vete ya de mi,
For hiding feelings,Por ocultar los sentimientos,
For wanting to liePor querer mentir.
