Maldita Costumbre Lyrics in English Morat
Laberintos literally means "labyrinths" or "mazes". It's a captivating word that immediately brings to mind images of confusion, being lost, and intricate paths.
In this song, Morat uses it metaphorically to describe the confusing and repetitive nature of a tumultuous relationship. The line "Me mareas con tus vueltas y tus laberintos" (You make me dizzy with your turns and your labyrinths) perfectly captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of a love that's hard to navigate or escape, making it a powerful and memorable word.
“Maldita Costumbre” by the Colombian band Morat sounds lively and catchy, yet its lyrics reveal the bittersweet story of someone hopelessly hooked on a chronic heart-breaker. From the very first line, the singer admits he has never been good at following his instincts; instead, he falls head-first for a lover who “steals hearts like candy from a child.” The hook repeats the phrase maldita costumbre la de tus pies—literally “that damn habit your feet have”—to describe how easily this person walks away, leaving shattered feelings behind.
Throughout the song, Morat turns heartbreak into a playful countdown: “uno, dos, tres, cuatro” departures and counting. Each time the lover leaves, the narrator loses another piece of himself, comparing his dwindling chances to the legendary “siete vidas” (seven lives) of a cat. The upbeat rhythm masks a cycle of attraction, abandonment, and lingering hope, making the track a clever blend of cheerful sound and relatable emotional drama. Listeners are invited to dance along while reflecting on the exhausting thrill of loving someone who just can’t stay put.
