La Puerta Violeta Lyrics in English Rozalén

Home / Lyrics Translation / Rozalén / La Puerta Violeta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Puerta Violeta by Rozalén from Spanish to English.

A sad girl in the mirror

Looks at me carefully and doesn't want to talk

There's a gray monster in the kitchen

That breaks everything, that won't stop yelling

I've a hand on my neck that with subtlety

Keeps me from breathing

A blindfold covers my eyes

I can smell the fear and it's coming closer

I've a knot in my cords

That dirties my voice when I sing

I've a guilt that tightens

It rests on my shoulders and it's hard to walk

But I drew a purple door on the wall

And on entering I freed myself

Like a ship's sail that unfurls

I woke in a green meadow far from here

I ran, I screamed, I laughed

I know what I don't want, now I'm safe

A flower that withers

A tree that doesn't grow because it's not its place

A punishment that is imposed on me

A verse that crosses me out and erases me

I've my whole body chained

Cracked hands, a thousand wrinkles on my skin

The ghosts speak at my nape

The wound reopens and it bleeds

There's a goldfinch in my throat

That flies with strength

I've the need to turn the key

And not look back

So I drew a purple door on the wall

And on entering I freed myself

Like a ship's sail that unfurls

I woke in a green meadow far from here

I ran, I screamed, I laughed

I know what I don't want, now I'm safe

So I drew a purple door on the wall

And on entering I freed myself

Like a ship's sail that unfurls

I appeared in a green meadow far from here

I ran, I screamed, I laughed

I know what I don't want, now I'm safe

SONG MEANING

La Puerta Violeta turns a simple wall into a magic escape hatch. Rozalén paints with words the story of a girl hemmed in by grey monsters, choking hands and ghosts that whisper shame. Every image of chains, blindfolds and a voice knotted in fear reflects the suffocating weight of abuse and self-doubt that many people, especially women, know all too well.

Then comes the splash of purple. By sketching a violet door — the color of feminist resilience — the girl invents her own exit, steps into a sunlit meadow and finally runs, shouts and laughs. The song shouts that imagination can be revolution, that drawing your boundary is the first stride to freedom. It is at once a deeply personal liberation tale and a collective anthem inviting each listener to grab a paintbrush, decide what they don’t want and sail toward safety, dignity and joy.
