Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Puerta Negra by El Grupo Santa Clara from Spanish to English.
Ya esta cerrada con tres candados
It is already closed with three padlocks
Y remachada a la puerta negra
And nailed to the black door
Porque tus padres están celosos
Because your parents are jealous
Y tienen miedo que yo te quiera
And they're afraid that I love you
Han de pensar que estando encerrada
They must think that by being locked up
Vas a dejar pronto de quererme
You will soon stop loving me
Pero la puerta ni cien candados, van
But the door, not even a hundred padlocks,
A mi poder determe
Can stop me
Pero la puerta no es la culpable
But the door is not to blame
Que tu por dentro estés llorando
That you're crying inside
Tu a mi me quieres y yo te quiero la puerta negra
You love me and I love you, the black door
Sale sobrando
Is unnecessary
Diles ahí por ay a tu padre y madre
Tell your father and mother there
Que si ellos el amor nunca gozaron
That if they never enjoyed love
Y si se amaban también la puerta
And if they loved each other, too,
La puerta negra se la cerraron
The black door was closed on them
Pero la puerta no es la culpable
But the door is not to blame
Que tu por dentro estés, llorando
That you're 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 unnecessary
