Amor Prohibido

The Torment of Forbidden Love

The song "Amor Prohibido" by Angela Leiva delves into the deep and often painful emotions associated with a love that is deemed unacceptable or forbidden by societal norms or personal circumstances. The lyrics express the protagonist's internal struggle and desire for a love that she cannot openly declare or pursue. The repeated plea for the object of her affection to stay, love, and notice her underscores the intensity of her feelings and the desperation she feels in the face of their impossible situation.

The phrase 'Amor prohibido' translates to 'forbidden love,' which is a central theme of the song. The protagonist is not committing a crime, but her love feels like a transgression due to the barriers between her and her beloved. The lyrics suggest a secret relationship, one that must be hidden from the world, which adds to the emotional weight of the song. The mention of being fugitives of passion further illustrates the idea that their love is on the run, always hiding and never free to exist in the open.

The song also touches on the physical manifestations of this forbidden love, with the protagonist feeling a connection through looks and touches that tempt the heart. The imagery of burning in the fire that warms the cold of the other's winter suggests a deep longing and a desire to be the source of warmth and love for the other person. The protagonist's willingness to wait with open arms, ready to give her love if only they would accept it, portrays a sense of hope amidst the despair of their situation.
