Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Secreto De Las Tortugas by Maldita Nerea from Spanish to English.

I've unintentionally lost the papers

that you gave me the day before yesterday

where the advice was

that we noted down so that everything would go well

And now we're on the way to the border

Enjoying the whole life little by little

So I have to find you to see you

and that you tell me again

I need a little help

A word that can convince me

And when you talk to me the mountain is smaller

and it doesn't move at all

It tells me

that we're crossing on the way to the border

Enjoying the full moon in little sips

How am I not going to get wet if inside here it won't stop raining

It doesn't stop raining here

And if we stick to the established plan

we'll get tired moments after we start

We probably won't find the way

but we'll have desire to fly to spare

How easy it is to lose each other's hand

Oh my, hold on tight

that the emptiness of that glass doesn't fill

if you don't want to love again

And it happens

when we're on the way to the border

Poor little thing, life ends up tired

How am I not going to tire her

if I don't stop and never quit running

And if I don't stop running

Let's improvise a definitive script

that we have no choice but to forget

Make all the stars be the path

so that the desire to dream never runs out

And it sounds good, it seems that we've convinced ourselves

We just have to lose speed

It's been a while since we were divided

Something was left over when we took flight

When we took flight

They say that, I know, it sounds different

in your future, in your past, in my present

And we've survived

though I'm not really sure what from

And we were so lost that we couldn't see

The joy that carries fear away

The good times, the January sun

Seeing every dawn with you

Count to three, I'll start first

that this way the shot's effect is more accurate

Then you follow me, taking the rush away

Watching how the turtle hypnotizes you

And nobody will make the journey without luck

that here the bad turns into something good

There's a path and you've convinced yourself

so start it with me and we'll take flight

and we'll take flight

that nobody will make the journey without luck

that here sorrow turns into little pieces

A whole world awaits you, puppeteer

Don't make it wait

SONG MEANING

“El Secreto de las Tortugas” is a playful road-trip of a song where Maldita Nerea invites us to toss out our rigid “how-to” manuals and improvise our way through life. The narrator admits he has lost the papers full of sensible advice, yet instead of panicking he sets off camino de la frontera—on the edge of the unknown—savoring each sip of moonlight, each drop of rain. The lyrics hop between optimism and doubt, showing how easy it is to run in circles, get soaked by worries, or drain the glass of motivation. Still, every time fear looms, a single encouraging word from a loved one shrinks mountains and clears the skies.

The secreto that the turtles whisper is simple: slow down and keep dreaming. Like those patient creatures, the song teaches that steady curiosity turns any bad moment into something good, and that luck appears when we dare to move forward together—never rushed, never alone. By the final chorus, the band celebrates surviving confusion, trading haste for wonder, and promising that a whole new world is waiting as soon as we choose to start the journey… at a turtle’s pace, yet ready to fly.
