A Un Amor Prohibido
Silvestre Dangond
The Eternal Yearning of a Forbidden Love
Silvestre Dangond's song "A Un Amor Prohibido" delves into the deep and enduring emotions tied to a love that is forbidden and seemingly unattainable. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that, despite the passage of time and changing circumstances, remains ever-present in the heart and mind of the singer. The recurring theme of thinking about this forbidden love, even after many years, highlights the strength and persistence of his feelings. The metaphor of the sun hiding and reappearing symbolizes the hope that this love, though hidden, might one day resurface.
The song also touches on the changes that have occurred over time, both in the physical world and in the lives of the people involved. The singer notes that the street where his love once lived is no longer the same, yet his longing and love have remained unchanged. This contrast between the changing external world and the unchanging internal emotions underscores the depth of his attachment and the pain of his unfulfilled love.
Dangond's lyrics also reflect a sense of nostalgia and a longing for the past. He listens to the songs that his love used to sing, but they cannot revive the unique love they once shared. The repeated refrain of thinking about his forbidden love and being dominated by the illusion of it speaks to the power of memory and the enduring nature of true love, even when it is not reciprocated or realized. The song captures the bittersweet essence of loving someone deeply and eternally, despite the barriers that keep them apart.
