Amor Prohibido

La Base's song "Amor Prohibido" delves into the intense emotions and complexities surrounding a forbidden love. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and confusion as the protagonist grapples with the absence of their beloved. The repeated refrain, "No se porque / No estas aqui conmigo / Amor, amor / Amor prohibido," underscores the pain and bewilderment of being separated from someone they deeply desire but cannot have openly.

The song's verses further explore the dynamics of this forbidden relationship. The protagonist is tormented by the fact that their lover's anxiety and circumstances prevent them from being together. Despite understanding the constraints, the protagonist is not satisfied with the limited time they have and craves a deeper connection. The lyrics, "Yo quiero tu piel, tu boca, to' tu cuerpo / El que hace temblar la cama aqui soy yo," highlight the physical and emotional intensity of their desire.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist's determination to wait patiently for their love is evident. They acknowledge the thrill that the forbidden nature of their relationship brings, yet they yearn for a future where they can be together without hiding. The lines, "Porque nuestro amor tenia que ser prohibido / Ya no te quiero ver a escondidas / Mi amor, quiero que seas mia / Solamente mia," reflect a longing for exclusivity and a desire to overcome the barriers that keep them apart. Ultimately, "Amor Prohibido" captures the bittersweet essence of a love that is both passionate and constrained by external factors.
