Costumbres

Customs, old customsCostumbres, viejas costumbres
Don't let the world run,no dejan al mundo correr,
customs, old customscostumbres, viejas costumbres
Tie our hands and feet.nos atan de manos y pies.
Reasons without foundationsRazones sin fundamentos
Paths that must be traveled,caminos que hay que recorrer,
Whether you like it or notlos quieras o no los quieras,
Because they are yesterday's customs.pues son costumbres de ayer.

Man carries chainsEl hombre lleva cadenas
That the world puts on him at birthque el mundo le pone al nacer
Customs that are chains,costumbres que son cadenas,
Invisible chains.cadenas que no se ven.
One day they hang a name on him,Un día le cuelgan un nombre,
Carrying a life with it,que carga una vida con el,
Whether he likes it or not,le guste o no le guste,
His opinion doesn't matter.no importa su parecer.

Then they teach him the same,Después le enseñan lo mismo,
To this one, that one, or the otherque a este, que a ese o aquel
They teach old customsle enseñan viejas costumbres
That he learns without knowing why.que aprende sin saber porque.
And the day he wants to be freeY el día que quiere ser libre
And tries to fly, to run around,e intenta volar, por ahi correr,
He remembers the customsse acuerda de las costumbres
And goes back to the same thing again...y vuelve a lo mismo otra vez...
