Prohibido

I know that even though your mouth drives me crazy
kissing her is forbidden without forgiveness
and I know that even though you desire me too
there's someone standing between us.

Who could foresee that true love
would strike our hearts in this way;
it's too late when we are
helpless prisoners of the mistake.

Desire brings us together
and honor keeps us apart,
and even though loving is not an excuse
that saves love from guilt
your destiny is to love me,
my destiny is to love you,
and destiny is stronger
than pride, duty, and honor.

You'll walk through life with another arm
but your soul will be where I am.

As forbidden as it may be
for me to hold you in my arms,
there is no force in the world
that can forbid me from loving you
and let this love kill us.
