Amor Prohibido
Luis Jara Lyrics

The lyrics to Luis Jara's "Amor Prohibido" express a love that is forbidden, yet the singer cannot let go of it. The first two stanzas call for intense physical affection ("Bésame, bésame, bésame", "Quiero sentir tu cuerpo, junto a mi cuerpo", etc.) without any conditions or promises. The repetition of "Como la primera vez" emphasizes the desire for the passion and excitement that came with the early stages of their relationship. The singer urges their lover to love them without any words, to only show love through physical touch.

The chorus then reveals the nature of their love: it is forbidden, and despite attempting to move on from it, the singer cannot forget their lover. They describe it as a "paloma triste" (sad dove) that always returns to its nest, and a love that hurts them but they cannot let go of it. The repetition of "Este amor prohibido" underscores the desperation and helplessness that the singer feels towards this love. The final line, "Este amor prohibido, que me está matando" (this forbidden love, that is killing me), highlights the destructive nature of this relationship.

Overall, "Amor Prohibido" is a poignant depiction of a love that is intense, passionate, yet hopeless and destructive due to the societal forces that prohibit it.
