The song offers listeners an introspective and philosophical rock experience, blending existential reflection with the band’s signature lyrical wit and emotional complexity.

Puertas (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There were so many paths I traveled over time
Searching in my depths or outside of myself
In some I was able to find myself, and in others I got lost
There were so many doors I had to face
Some that opened, helped me reflect
But in others it would have been much better not to enter (Hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
Doors I crossed
With determination
Doors I knocked
And that no one opened
[Chorus]
And I keep going through doors
Seeking to know who I am
Sometimes with raw distrust
Sometimes with pure conviction
Some that stimulated their secrets
Others that cornered me like traps (Hey)
I eluded some
Some I opened only with my intuition
No key will ever be able to tell me
In which door I will find my salvation
[Verse 3]
In some, their exterior shine deceived me
I entered feeling very bad and came out worse
And Sometimes I looked through the keyhole
I was disturbed by what I saw, I ignored it, and left
I tried to validate my truths
From the gates of the Sun to Hades
And I even stunned the sky
From slamming so many doors
[Pre-Chorus]
The ones that opened by themselves
I took advantage of them
And on the revolving ones
I turned, turned, and turned
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
[Chorus]
And I keep going through doors
Seeking to know who I am
Sometimes cold suspicion
Sometimes wise perception
In some, I was received with respect
In others, intolerance expelled me (Hey)
I said goodbye to some
Because they enforced the right of admission
No key will ever be able to tell me
In which door I will find my salvation
[Bridge]
(Hey, careful)
In which door will my salvation be (Open Sesame)
In which door will my salvation be (Close Yourself, Sesame)
Where will my salvation lie?
[Chorus]
And I keep going through doors
Seeking to know who I am
Some that stimulated me with their secrets
Others that cornered me like traps (Hey)
Some I eluded
Some I opened only with my intuition
No key will ever be able to tell me
Where will I find my salvation?
[Outro]
Where will my salvation lie? (Open Yourself, Sesame)
Where will my salvation lie? (Close Yourself, Sesame)
Where will my salvation lie? (Open Yourself, Sesame)
Where will my salvation lie? (Take care of me, Sesame)
Puertas Lyrics Meaning
[Verso 1]
El Cuarteto de Nos opens the song by recounting a personal odyssey through many paths and internal explorations. Some journeys brought clarity, while others led to confusion. The “puertas” symbolize moments of decision or transformation—some beneficial, others painful or regretful. The band reflects on how not every experience is worth entering, yet each has left a lasting impression on the narrator’s journey toward self-awareness.
[Pre-Estribillo]
This brief section underlines the emotional cost of taking risks. Some doors were approached with courage but led to silence or rejection. The act of knocking and not being answered serves as a metaphor for unmet expectations and the loneliness that can accompany introspection and change.
[Estribillo]
The chorus captures the song’s central conflict: the relentless pursuit of self-knowledge amid uncertainty. El Cuarteto de Nos contrasts doubt with conviction, revealing how different “doors” have stimulated growth or acted as traps. Intuition, rather than a key, becomes the guide through this metaphysical labyrinth. The inability to predict which door leads to salvation highlights the unpredictability and risk inherent in personal evolution.
[Verso 3]
This verse dives deeper into the deceptive nature of appearances. Some doors looked inviting but led to even greater despair. The band conveys moments of curiosity—peeking through keyholes only to walk away uneasily—and the desire to validate personal truths across mythic and symbolic landscapes, from the “door of the Sun” to the gates of Hades. The imagery of slamming doors until reaching the heavens speaks to frustration and the intensity of the search for meaning.
[Pre-Estribillo]
Here, El Cuarteto de Nos reflects on the unpredictability of opportunity. Some doors opened effortlessly and were seized, while others, like revolving doors, led nowhere, symbolizing cycles of indecision or stagnation. The repetition of “giré” mimics the dizzying effect of endless, fruitless searching.
[Estribillo]
The second chorus echoes the first but with slight lyrical variations that enhance the theme of duality. The band explores how some doors welcomed them with dignity, while others expelled them through intolerance. This reflects societal rejection or misalignment with environments that don’t allow for personal expression. Once again, intuition overrides physical keys, reinforcing the idea that salvation is a deeply personal and internal discovery.
[Puente]
The bridge serves as a haunting mantra, repeating the question of where salvation lies. The phrase “Ábrete, Sésamo” draws from mythical and literary references, evoking a desperate plea for revelation or access to hidden wisdom. Its inverse—“Ciérrate, Sésamo”—adds a note of irony, showing how elusive that access remains.
[Estribillo]
In the final chorus, El Cuarteto de Nos returns to the emotional core of the song with renewed intensity. The repetition of doors as both sacred and treacherous underscores the unpredictability of life’s turning points. The insistence that no key can determine the right path speaks to the value of personal intuition and resilience.
[Outro]
The outro is a rhythmic echo of the bridge, emphasizing the unresolved nature of the song’s central question. By repeating variations of the Sésamo motif and ending on “Cuídame, Sésamo,” the band injects vulnerability into the narrative, expressing the need for protection and guidance in a world full of uncertainty.
