Trailer Oficial Lyrics in English by La Educación Prohibida

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Trailer Oficial by La Educación Prohibida from Spanish to English.
Nowadays education is forbidden
Very little of what happens
In our school is truly important
So the school isn't even the place of training
It's the big daycare
They are nothing but spaces of tedium and boredom
Education keeps
Being the same
Useful so that culture always stays the same, and always repeats itself
And the things that matter aren't written in any notebook
Nor in any folder
Like this, just as it is, it's a lack of respect!
What's the problem now?
Take responsibility for what we wrote | It's the homework you gave us
Slow down a bit Martín because I know you
The student thinks that the only thing he has to do is repeat
Repeat, repeat until that gets
Into his head
Repeat!
AC metal
Actually nobody learns, let's say it's forced
That's not learning
Which is dog training
That's not education
How do we face difficulties?
We don't know, they didn't teach us
Cut it out, cut it out. Mariela, enough, listen to me
School has to be
A testing ground
An opening of total possibilities
They teach us to be far from one another
And to compete for things that have no value
Everyone talks about peace
But nobody educates for peace
People educate for competition, and competition
Is the start of any war
Parents and teachers don't listen to us
They never ask us what we think
How do you think you're going to get into college?
Who told you that I want to go to college?
There are moms and dads that see the kid one hour a day
You'll have everything passed, right?
Yes, mom
How can we expect something beautiful from there?
They have no idea what we feel
What we think or what we want to do
You're going to have to choose a profession
You can't keep playing like a kid
I think that today's teachers
Are children of a system
If you let them you'll lose authority
They can't do what they want, they can't
I think we have to consider if we're giving
Or not giving importance to what they say
It's deep what they're saying, it's not just anything
A school where there wasn't; the student didn't have to answer to anyone
Where everyone could be themselves
There's no single path
Like-like there's no kid identical to another
What's the goal of education?
To learn, learn what, knowledge?
Or to keep developing some human capacities?
Well, because of that school, that makes it more important
To beat the other than to serve society
And in those terms any education that looks for something else
Has to be forbidden
One can't learn freedom in theory
And then leave school and be free
Kids have to be free at school
Did you like this lyrics translation?

adiestramiento — training

Adiestramiento translates to "training," but it carries a specific connotation of disciplined, often repetitive instruction, similar to animal training. It's a less common word than entrenamiento.

In the context of the song, the speaker uses adiestramiento canino (dog training) to criticize the current education system, implying that it forces students to merely repeat information rather than truly learn or develop critical thinking. This strong comparison makes the word particularly impactful and memorable.

La Educación Prohibida’s “Trailer Oficial” feels less like a song and more like a sonic manifesto: a punchy collage of classroom complaints, student outbursts, and urgent questions that blow the dust off traditional schooling. From the very first line – “Hoy en día la educación está prohibida” – the track fires warning shots at a system that swaps creativity for repetition and curiosity for obedience. Over a raw mix of dialogue snippets, electric-guitar stabs, and shouted commands (“¡Repitan!”), we hear students, teachers, and parents bump heads about grades, authority, and the point of learning itself. The catchy chaos invites listeners to picture the schoolroom as a giant daycare where “nobody learns” and everyone is stuck memorizing, not thinking.

By the time the chorus charges in, the message is crystal: true education should spark freedom, peace, and experimentation, not boredom and competition. The lyrics champion a classroom where kids choose their own paths, question everything, and collaborate instead of compete. “Trailer Oficial” ultimately argues that if schooling keeps prioritizing control over creativity, then the most liberating form of learning will always be, in society’s eyes, prohibida.
