Amor Prohibido

If the law is meant to equalize
men in their dignity
Tell me, in the government of love
why does so much dictatorship reign?

With the flaw of asking
the virtue exists in not giving
for the eternal vice of prohibiting
there is the obligation to tolerate.

They prohibited me from loving you
they stole my illusion
and I wonder why
the most beloved
is usually forbidden
with no right to claim, ever.

They prohibited you from seeing me
your greatest need
and I wonder why
the most beloved
is usually forbidden
with no right to claim.

If one day I were a judge
I would decree a law
forbidden love
must be pursued mercilessly
forbidden love
must be punished mercilessly
forbidden love
must be forbidden
with no right to claim.
