Cerró la puerta y fue el comienzo del final
She closed the door and it was the beginning of the end
Cansada por la inconsistencia, por el desamor
Tired from inconsistency, from heartbreak
Preñada de soledad, quiso buscar su destino
Pregnant with loneliness, she wanted to find her destiny
La vida, su vida, una entrada, una salida
Life, her life, an entrance, an exit
El cielo para sus alas, su propio camino
The sky for her wings, her own path
Estaba presa de una situación del miedo
She was trapped in a situation of fear
La costumbre quizá, lo cierto fue que ya no podía más
Perhaps it was habit, but the truth was she could take no more
Quiso ser libre (Quiso ser libre)
She wanted to be free (She wanted to be free)
Estaba entre la espada y la pared, viviendo y muriendo a la vez
She was between a rock and a hard place, living and dying at the same time
Y aunque estaba herida pudo volar, quiso ser libre
And even though she was hurt, she was able to fly, she wanted to be free
Dijo que había perdido su identidad
She said she had lost her identity
Se miraba en el espejo y no se conocía
She looked in the mirror and didn't recognize herself
Había dejado de ser por complacer las expectativas
She had stopped being herself to meet expectations
Y entre el amor y la ira no había tregua ninguna
And between love and anger, there was no truce at all
Cerró la puerta del alma, buscó su universo
She closed the door of her soul, searched for her universe
Estaba presa de una situación del miedo
She was a prisoner of a situation of fear
La costumbre quizá, lo cierto fue que ya no podía más
Maybe it was habit, but the truth was she couldn't take it anymore
Quiso ser libre (Quiso ser libre)
She wanted to be free (She wanted to be free)
Estaba entre la espada y la pared, viviendo y muriendo a la vez
She was between a rock and a hard place, living and dying at once
Y aunque estaba herida pudo volar, quiso ser libre
And though she was wounded, she could fly, she wanted to be free
Ella quería su libertad
She wanted her freedom
Ella quería un poco de paz
She wanted a bit of peace
Ella quería
She wanted
Estaba presa de una situación del miedo
She was trapped in a situation of fear
La costumbre quizá, lo cierto fue que ya no podía más
Perhaps it was habit, but the truth was she could take no more
Quiso ser libre (Quiso ser libre)
She wanted to be free (She wanted to be free)
Estaba entre la espada y la pared, viviendo y muriendo a la vez
She was between a rock and a hard place, living and dying at the same time
Y aunque estaba herida pudo volar, quiso ser libre
And though she was hurt, she was able to fly, she wanted to be free
Ella quería su libertad
She wanted her freedom
Ella quería un poco de paz
She wanted a bit of peace
Ella quería su realidad
She wanted her reality
Ella quería felicidad
She wanted happiness
Ella quería su libertad
She wanted her freedom
Ella quería un poco de paz
She wanted a little bit of peace
Ella quería su realidad
She wanted her reality
Ella quería felicidad
She wanted happiness
