| Ya esta cerrada, con tres candados
| It is already closed, with three padlocks
|
| Y remachada la puerta negra
| And riveted the black door
|
| Porque tus padres estan celosos
| because your parents are jealous
|
| Y tienen miedo que yo te quiera
| And they are afraid that I love you
|
| Han de pensar que estando encerrada
| They must think that being locked up
|
| Vas a dejar pronto de quererme
| You're going to stop loving me soon
|
| Pero la puerta, ni cien candados
| But the door, not even a hundred padlocks
|
| Van a poder a mi detenerme
| They are going to be able to stop me
|
| Pero la puerta no es la culpable
| But the door is not to blame
|
| Que tu por dentro estes llorando
| That you are crying inside
|
| Tu a mi me quieres y yo te quiero
| You love me and I love you
|
| La puerta negra sale sobrando
| The black door is superfluous
|
| Diles por «Hay» a tu padre y madre
| Say "Hay" to your father and mother
|
| Que si ellos nunca el amor gozaron
| What if they never enjoyed love
|
| Y que si se amaban tambien la puerta
| And what if they also loved the door
|
| La puerta negra, se la cerraron
| The black door, they closed it
|
| Pero la puerta no es la culpable
| But the door is not to blame
|
| Que tu por dentro estes llorando
| That you are crying inside
|
| Tu a mi me quieres y yo te quiero
| You love me and I love you
|
| La puerta negra sale sobrando | The black door is superfluous |
