Prohibido El Paso
Olga Tañon
No Entry Allowed
To sad memories,
To the poison of hatred,
To the people who insist
On living in deceit
To empty words
To the fear of tomorrow
To living in appearances
To the fear of the years
To the control of others
To the hands that hurt
To the blows that try
To shatter hope
To melancholy, to fear of failure
To everything that weighs
I say no entry allowed
No entry allowed
I close the doors
Those things that used to tie down my life
Let them stay outside
No entry allowed
I close the way
Now there is only access
For what is good
For joy
And I want to be happy
Because my time has come
Because I deserve it
And now it's my turn!
To the control of others
To the hands that hurt
To the blows that try
To shatter hope
To melancholy, to fear of failure
To everything that weighs
I say no entry allowed
No entry allowed
I close the doors
Those things that used to tie down my life
Let them stay outside
No entry allowed
I close the way
Now there is only access
For what is good
For joy
And I want to be happy
Because my time has come
Because I deserve it
And now it's my turn!
