La puerta violeta [English translation]

A sad little girl in the mirror

looks at me prudently and does not want to talk.

There is a gray monster in the kitchen

that breaks everything, that does not stop screaming.

I have a hand on my neck

which subtly prevents me from breathing.

A bandage covers my eyes.

I can smell the fear, and it comes close.

I have a knot in the ropes

which dirtied my voice by singing.

I have a guilt that tightens me,

it lies on my shoulders and I find it hard to walk.

(Chorus)

But I drew a violet door on the wall,

and I went free when I entered

as the sail of a ship unfolds.

I woke up in a green meadow far from here.

I ran, I cried, I laughed.

I know what I do not want, now I'm safe.

A flower that withers,

a tree that does not grow because it is not its place.

A punishment that is imposed on me.

A verse that crosses and cancels me.

I have the whole body chained,

cracked hands, a thousand wrinkles on the skin.

Ghosts speak at the nape of the neck,

the wound reopens and I bleed.

There's a goldfinch in my throat that flies.

I need to turn the key and not look back.

So I drew ... (chorus) (x2)
