La Llave Lyrics in English Pablo Alborán , Piso 21

Home / Lyrics Translation / Pablo Alborán / La Llave

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Llave by Pablo Alborán from Spanish to English.

The silence between us starts to hurt us too much

I think that the moment to leave everything behind has come

Let's not look for an exit, if we never wanted to enter

I don't remember a rainy Sunday kissing on the couch

Because we were never good at loving

Because we never wanted to tie ourselves down

If I had the key to your closed eyes

If I could invent every memory, every hug

If today I find an answer and discover the cure

At the end of the story, there'll be no wars nor armor

Nor armor

You know well that I've been trying for a while to find a way to speak

I know that you play in secret and you'll never admit it

What good is this lie, when I always gave you my truth

This isn't a drill, this wound can kill us

And it's that we were never good at loving

Because we never wanted to tie ourselves down

If I had the key to your closed eyes

If I could invent every memory, every hug

If today I find answers and discover the cure

At the end of the story, there'll be no wars nor armor

Rise

We've always tried to move forward

If you fell, I fell right behind you

In silence the doubts keep growing

In silence I left them naked

And if, and if I had the combination

I'd open what pain has closed

That's a perfect occasion for this equation

And break the padlock from your eyes

If I had the key to your closed eyes

If I could invent every memory, every hug

If today I find an answer and discover the cure

At the end of the story, there'll be no wars nor armor

Nor armor

SONG MEANING

La Llave ("The Key") pairs Spanish singer-songwriter Pablo Alborán with Colombian group Piso 21 in a smooth Latin-pop confession about a love that is slipping away. The couple has let silence settle between them until it hurts, and they admit they were never really good at loving because they feared being tied down. With bittersweet honesty, the lyrics tick off what’s missing — rain-kissed Sundays on the sofa, fearless commitment, clear communication — painting the ache of something beautiful that never fully bloomed.

Yet the song is also a hopeful plea. The narrator imagines finding the key to his partner’s closed eyes, rewriting their memories, and discovering a “cure” that would end the battle and drop every piece of armor. He is willing to search for the perfect combination to unlock their hearts, expose hidden doubts, and let love flow freely before the wound becomes fatal. Wrapped in warm harmonies and a subtle urban beat, “La Llave” turns heartbreak into a puzzle that invites listeners to sway, sing along, and maybe look for their own keys to honest connection.
