Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Puerta Negra by Los Tigres del Norte from Spanish to English.
Ya está cerrada con tres candados
It's already locked with three padlocks
Y remachada a la puerta negra
And the black door's been riveted shut
Porque tus padres están celosos
Because your parents are jealous
Y tienen miedo que yo te quiera
And they're afraid that I might love you
Han de pensar que estando encerrada
They must think that, being locked up
Vas a dejar pronto de quererme
You'll soon quit loving me
Pero la puerta ni cien candados, van
But the door, not even a hundred padlocks, will
A poder a mí detenerme
Be able to hold me back
Pero la puerta no es la culpable
But the door isn't the one to blame
Que tú por dentro estés llorando
That you're inside crying
Tú a mí me quieres y yo te quiero la puerta negra
You love me and I love you, the black door
Sale sobrando
Is unnecessary
Diles por ahí a tu padre y madre
Tell your father and mother out 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, then the door
La puerta negra se la cerraron
The black door was shut on them too
Pero la puerta no es la culpable
But the door isn't the one to blame
Que tú por dentro estés llorando
That you're inside crying
Tú a mí me quieres y yo te quiero
You love me and I love you
La puerta negra sale sobrando
The black door is unnecessary
