Soy Lo Prohibido

Grupo Limite's song 'Soy Lo Prohibido' delves into the complexities of forbidden love, capturing the essence of a relationship that exists in the shadows. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both intoxicating and illicit, a love that cannot be openly acknowledged. The repeated phrase 'Soy lo prohibido' (I am the forbidden) underscores the central theme of the song, emphasizing the allure and danger of a love that defies societal norms and personal boundaries.

The song's narrator describes themselves as a 'vicio' (vice) and a 'fiebre' (fever), metaphors that suggest an addictive and uncontrollable force. This love is portrayed as a powerful, almost primal urge that dominates the lover's thoughts and actions. The narrator is the 'noche de placer' (night of pleasure) and the 'pecado' (sin) that brings new excitement and adventure into the lover's life. However, this relationship comes with a cost, as it exists outside the bounds of what is considered acceptable or moral.

The lyrics also explore the internal conflict experienced by the lover, who must maintain a facade of normalcy while secretly yearning for the forbidden. The lines 'Soy ese beso que se da, sin que se pueda comentar' (I am that kiss that is given, without being able to comment on it) and 'Soy ese amor que negaras, para salvar tu dignidad' (I am that love you will deny, to save your dignity) highlight the secrecy and denial that characterize this relationship. The lover is torn between their desire for the forbidden and their need to uphold their social and personal integrity.

'Soy Lo Prohibido' is a poignant exploration of the tension between desire and duty, capturing the bittersweet nature of a love that must remain hidden. Grupo Limite's emotive delivery and the evocative lyrics make this song a powerful reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the sacrifices we make for love.
