Puertas Lyrics (English Translation) – El Cuarteto de Nos

Puertas (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer talks about traveling many different paths in life, looking both inside themselves and out in the world. Sometimes they found parts of who they really are, but other times they got confused or lost. Along the way, they faced many doors—some opened easily and helped them think deeply, while others were better left alone because going through them caused trouble or pain.

[Pre-Chorus]
They went through some doors with strong will and tried to open others, but some doors stayed shut no matter what.

[Chorus]
The singer keeps moving through different doors, trying to discover who they truly are. Sometimes they feel unsure or suspicious, other times they feel confident. Some doors reveal interesting secrets, but others trap or corner them. They avoid some doors and open others based on a feeling inside. They know no key or easy solution will show them exactly where they will find peace or happiness.

[Verse 3]
Some doors looked attractive on the outside but ended up hurting the singer when they entered. Sometimes they peeked through a keyhole and saw things that scared or disturbed them, so they walked away. They tried to confirm what they believed was true by exploring everywhere—from bright, hopeful places to dark, difficult ones—and even reacted strongly by shutting many doors behind them.

[Pre-Chorus]
The doors that opened on their own were opportunities the singer grabbed. For the ones that kept spinning like a revolving door, they kept going round and round, caught in cycles or confusion.

[Chorus]
The search continues with the singer passing through doors, sometimes feeling doubtful and other times wise. Some places welcomed them kindly, while others rejected them harshly. They said goodbye to certain doors because they were not allowed in. Still, no key exists that can reveal the exact door where they will find true peace or salvation.

[Bridge]
The singer warns to be careful as they wonder where their salvation lies—whether it’s behind a door that opens easily or one that stays shut. They keep questioning where the answer or relief will come from.

[Chorus]
The journey through doors goes on, with the singer trying to understand themselves better. Some doors revealed fascinating secrets, while others felt like traps. They avoided some and trusted their gut to open others. Still, there is no sure way to know which door will finally bring them the peace or happiness they seek.

[Outro]
The singer repeats the question about where their salvation will be found, asking the doors to open or close, and hoping to be protected or cared for. It shows their ongoing uncertainty and longing for safety and answers.
