Puertas abiertas, puertas cerradas
Victor Heredia
Open doors, closed doors
Open doors, closed doors
The world is full
of still doorknobs,
pay attention and look
how many doors are closed
around.
Doors that are giants
for the inhabitants,
doors that are secret
as concise as the no of the one who says no.
There are doors that close,
there are doors that are welded
from above and from below
from inside and from outside,
they are made of iron or wood
as you prefer.
But it's in your hand the picklock
that can end this madness
of feeling like prisoners
in a world where fear
lets doors grow
like cabbages in the garden
clumsy and blind...
Open your doors now,
if you want it opens by itself.
Shout 'Open Sesame!' and wake up
and help us with ours
that life is a party
when you want the door open.
Wide open!
Wide open!
Wide open!
