Translation - Sweeds-Spaans - ränderna går aldrig ur

This is a saying which means that even trying to hide something things will remain as they were before.
The allusion is to the stripes of a zebra. Even if you paint them to look like a horse, the zebra will always be a zebra.
A person is always what s/he is no matter what happens.
Perhaps the most similar saying in Spanish is:
"Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda".
