Swear by Your God

Jura Por Tu Dios

I grew up in a gypsy neighborhood, Manoteras MadridMe crie en un barrio de gitanos, manoteras Madrid
Despite the fights, I was a happy kidA pesar de las peleas era un chico feliz
With my cousin and buddies, messing around all dayCon mi primo y los compadres vacilando todo el día
On the street, making ourselves noticed and running from the copsEn la calle haciéndonos notar y huyendo de la policía
All good things come to an end, you grow upTodo lo bueno se acaba,te haces mayor
We all have to make a livingTodos tenemos que buscarnos la vida
We're taught that we have to suffer to live betterSe nos enseña que tenemos que sufrir para vivir mejor
And that dreams from childhood come to an endY que los sueños con la infancia se terminan

If to be normal I have to settleSi para ser normal me tengo que conformar
If I just have to stay quiet, I don't want to breatheSi solo tengo que callar no quiero respirar
And if I have no other options, tell me the truthY si no tengo mas opciones dime la verdad
Just swear by your godTan solo jura por tu dios
If to be normal I have to settleSi para ser normal me tengo que conformar
If I just have to stay quiet, I don't want to breatheSi solo tengo que callar no quiero respirar
And if I have no other options, tell me the truthY si no tengo mas opciones dime la verdad
Just swear by your god that it won't hurt meTan solo jura por tu dios que no me dolerá

Find a job you hate, start workingBusca un empleo que aborrezca,ponte a trabajar
Vocation is not for you, curse your dadLa vocación no es para ti,maldigo a tu papa
Find a wife and get married, scream at societyBusca una esposa y cásate,grita a la sociedad
Before your death, with luck, you'll pay off a houseAntes de tu muerte con suerte una casa pagaras
Like trained monkeys in a zooComo los monos en zoológico amaestrados
What options are there, all paths are already markedQue opciones hay,todos los caminos que ya están marcados
Old friends now look at me like a weirdoViejos amigos hoy me miran como un bicho raro
You conform and follow the rules or you're shunnedTe conformas y sigues las normas o eres repudiado
In your neighborhood, in your city, in your countryEn tu vecindad,en tu ciudad,en tu país
Control is more subtle than in the past, but it's thereEl control es mas sutil que en otros tiempos,pero esta ahi
If they brainwash your people, what will become of youSi a tu gente le lavan la mente que va ser de ti
You'll be lonelier every day if you want to break freeEstarás mas solo cada día si quieres salir

If to be normal I have to settleSi para ser normal me tengo que conformar
If I just have to stay quiet, I don't want to breatheSi solo tengo que callar no quiero respirar
And if I have no other options, tell me the truthY si no tengo mas opciones dime la verdad
Just swear by your godTan solo jura por tu dios
If to be normal I have to settleSi para ser normal me tengo que conformar
If I just have to stay quiet, I don't want to breatheSi solo tengo que callar no quiero respirar
And if I have no other options, tell me the truthY si no tengo mas opciones dime la verdad
Just swear by your god that it won't hurt meTan solo jura por tu dios que no me dolerá

Power and money, money and powerPoder y dinero,dinero y poder
Those are the only gods and everything else isEso son los únicos dioses y lo demás es
Placebo for the people, simple religionPlacebo para el pueblo,simple religión
It's the conclusion of those who practice introspectionEs la conclusión de quien practica la introspección
Go to church, temple, mosque, who caresVes a la iglesia,el templo,la mezquita,que mas da
Don't ask questions that bother authorityNo hagas preguntas que incomoden a la autoridad
Deepening is heresy, you must trustProfundidar es herejía,debes confiar
Screw the big bang theoriesA tomar por culo teorías del bigbang
How intrigued I am by this society that is the herdComo me intriga este rebaño que es la sociedad
Years go by and I wish to see it changePasan los años y quisiera verla cambiar
Just an echo far from reality, oooSolo un eco lejos de la realidad,ooo
Evolution is a sport that requires solitudeLa evolución es un deporte que requiere soledad
We never see each other because we have nothing to talk aboutNunca nos vemos porque no tenemos de que hablar
But we'll gather to celebrate ChristmasPero nos juntaremos a celebrar navidad
A display of love, spending money on a commercial dateMuestra de amor,gastar dinero en una fecha comercial
You'll be accused of betrayal if tradition makes you sickTe acusaran de traición si la tradición te hace vomitar

If to be normal I have to settleSi para ser normal me tengo que conformar
