Amor Prohibido

The stranger arrived with very different dreams
But he saw her
As only a mirage can be seen
Inside the heart

He guessed a destiny in her face
She sensed his cross
It was mixing Heaven's things
With life at ground level
And understanding
That lost Edens
Are always found
By chance

Suddenly
Facing each other
Not knowing what they feel
Paradise without a serpent
Don't look for it, there are none
There are no forbidden fruits
Only closed mouths

And that love, so sacred
So silent, so secret
So told
So for two and for no one
So pure and sinful
So furtive and whispered
So unforgiven by God

And that story without spotlights
Or witnesses
So of enemy dreams
So possible, and so chimera
So of nights without borders
Of innocence and penance
Of loving each other just because

Two loners
Giving the world
Their reason for being

And that eagerness
To be together
Against everything
Without hell and without treasure
Without rewards without punishments
Without what will I be with you

With a hidden gold ring
In a drawer
And that love so free, and captivated
So of light and shadowy
So clean and dangerous
That doesn't stay silent or lie
So of what will people say
Tree of good and evil
Two loners
Giving the world
Their reason for being
