Querré Lo Prohibido

Robe Iniesta's song "Querré Lo Prohibido" delves into the complex emotions of desire, defiance, and the allure of the forbidden. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their inner conflicts and the societal expectations that constrain them. The recurring imagery of flight and freedom, such as "Vuelas igual que una paloma" (You fly like a dove), symbolizes the yearning to break free from these constraints and embrace one's true desires, regardless of the consequences.

The chorus, with its repeated plea for someone to return home, suggests a longing for reconciliation and a return to a state of comfort and familiarity. However, this is juxtaposed with the protagonist's admission of wanting what is forbidden. The lines "Querré lo que quiera querer / Y querré lo prohibido" (I will want what I want to want / And I will want the forbidden) highlight a rebellious spirit, willing to defy promises and societal norms to pursue personal desires. This defiance is further emphasized by the acknowledgment of a promised hell, indicating an awareness of the potential repercussions but a willingness to face them nonetheless.

The song also touches on themes of unfulfilled promises and the inevitability of facing one's true desires. The repeated requests to not dream or think about a particular person, coupled with the protagonist's acceptance of breaking promises, underscore the internal struggle between duty and desire. The lyrics suggest that despite the potential for pain and regret, the pull of the forbidden is too strong to resist. This tension between societal expectations and personal freedom is a central theme, making the song a powerful exploration of human emotions and the complexities of desire.
