Quieres Entrar
Bala Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Debes tener cuidado
Quieres entrar
No hay nadie ya a esta hora
Nos miran mal

Debes tener cuidado
Quieres entrar
Vete hacia el otro lado

Te espero allá

Quieres entrar
Es todo nuevo ahora

Estás medio dormida
Resistes como un animal
Que escapa
De un amargo final

Buscando alimento
Buscando dónde amarrar
Las ansias de seguir siendo
Inmortal
Debes tener cuidado

Están en cada esquina
Agárrate a mis trenzas
Bajemos las persianas
Todo está bien aquí

Un sentimiento falso
Este es tu refugio
Es para ti
Hoy solo quiero
Vivir
Quieres entrar

Debes tener cuidado
Quieres entrar

Debes tener cuidado
Quieres entrar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bala's song "Quieres Entrar" depict a scene of two individuals who are considering sneaking into a place where they are not supposed to be. The singer warns her accomplice to be careful as there is nobody around at this hour and people are watching them suspiciously. The phrase "Quieres Entrar" itself can be translated as "You Want to Enter," which could be seen as a metaphor for a desire to escape a mundane reality.

The second verse describes the state of the accomplice who is half asleep and fighting to stay awake. It seems as though this person is trying to escape from something that has a bitter ending. They are searching for sustenance and something to hold onto, perhaps to keep them going, despite the challenges they face. The singer warns them again about the dangers and asks them to hold onto her "trenzas" or braids as they try to make their way inside.

The song has an eerie feel, heightened by the desolate setting, which the singer describes in detail, where the two of them need to take care and stay hidden. Despite the risk, the singer conveys a sense of freedom, an escape, and an urge to live in the moment. The song leaves much up to the interpretation of the listener. It could be interpreted as an allegory for wanting to escape from reality, a secret tryst, or a rebellion against authority.
