Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the poignant world of Sonora Skandalo's 'Costumbres,' a song that beautifully captures the bittersweet reality of relationships maintained by habit rather than passion. Through its relatable lyrics and signature cumbia-ska sound, you can explore the universal theme of enduring connections and the complex emotions that come with them.

[English]
Tell me about yourself
Tell me
About your life
You know very well
That I am
Convinced
That you can't
Even if you try
Forget me
You will always return (always, my love)
Again and again
Again and again
You will always return
And even if you no longer feel love for me
Only resentment
I feel the same, I have nothing left to feel
And that’s worse
But I miss you (I miss you, my love)
My love, I miss you
There’s no doubt that it’s true that habit
Is stronger than love
...
I know you can't
Even if you try
Forget me
You will always return (always, my love)
Again and again
Again and again
You will always return
And even if you no longer feel love for me
Only resentment
I feel the same, I have nothing left to feel
And that’s worse
But I miss you (I miss you, my love)
My love, I miss you
There’s no doubt that it’s true that habit
Is stronger than love
...
