Zona de Riesgo (feat. Carlos Rivera)

“Zona de Riesgo” by Gloria Trevi, featuring Carlos Rivera, delves into the complexities of forbidden love and the irresistible pull of a past relationship. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who are drawn to each other despite knowing the potential consequences. The phrase “zona de riesgo” (risk zone) metaphorically represents the dangerous allure of their connection, a place where they know they shouldn't venture but can't resist returning to. This theme is underscored by the repeated acknowledgment that their actions must remain secret, adding a layer of tension and excitement to their encounters.

The song opens with a sense of unexpected reunion, where the protagonist is surprised by the reappearance of a former lover. The lyrics “Pensé que pasando los años / Te iría superando y no tuve razón” (I thought that over the years / I would get over you and I was wrong) highlight the enduring impact of this person on their life. This sets the stage for the internal conflict that runs throughout the song, as the protagonists grapple with their desire to be together and the knowledge that their relationship is fraught with risk.

As the song progresses, the lyrics emphasize the physical and emotional intensity of their connection. Phrases like “Nadie lo tiene que saber / Que volví a besar tu cintura” (No one has to know / That I kissed your waist again) and “Que eres tú mi zona de riesgo / Donde no debo caer” (That you are my risk zone / Where I shouldn't fall) capture the clandestine nature of their meetings and the intoxicating pleasure they derive from being together. Despite the clear understanding that their relationship is dangerous, the protagonists repeatedly find themselves drawn back into each other's arms, unable to resist the magnetic pull of their forbidden love.
