Prohibido

The song "Prohibido" by Dale Q' Va delves into the complexities of a secret and possibly forbidden relationship. The lyrics speak to the tension between desire and the rules that the individuals in the relationship have set for themselves. The song opens with an acknowledgment of the games and lies that are part of their interactions, suggesting a dynamic where both parties are aware of the superficial nature of their connection but choose to indulge in it for the sake of physical pleasure and fantasy fulfillment.

The chorus of "Prohibido" lays out a series of 'forbidden' actions, such as calling each other after drinking, seeking each other out when they miss one another, and expressing their true feelings. This creates a sense of boundaries within the relationship, emphasizing that what they share is meant to be transient and without emotional attachment. The repeated line 'Con que lo sepa Dios es suficiente' (As long as God knows, it's enough) implies that they are content with keeping their feelings between themselves and a higher power, without the need for public acknowledgment or validation.

The song's title, which translates to 'Forbidden,' encapsulates the essence of the relationship. It's a connection that thrives on the thrill of secrecy and the excitement of the unattainable. The final line, 'Está prohibido que intentes quererme' (It's forbidden for you to try to love me), serves as a stark reminder of the emotional barriers that have been set. The song captures the bittersweet reality of a liaison where passion exists, but love is off-limits, and the rules of engagement are strictly enforced to protect both parties from the vulnerability that comes with deeper feelings.
