Prohibida
Raúl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
el corazón me delata
será el embrujo de sus ojos negros,
pero esa niña me mata
no tiene perdón por ser como es...
por ser tan bonita esa mujer...
DeberÃa estar prohibida por como mira
es que no hay en el cielo una estrella
que a su lado parezca más bella
DeberÃa ser delito
ese tumbao que me tiene
loco y enamorado
Deberia no ser tan perfecta
porque voy a perder la cabeza
Quiero decirle, y nunca me atrevo,
que solo vivo por verla
cada mañana aunque sea un momento
cuando ella pasa me llena de amor
No tiene perdón por ser como es
por ser tan bonita esa mujer
DeberÃa estar prohibida por como mira
por su movimiento cuando camina
es que no hay en el cielo una estrella
que a su lado parezca más bella
DeberÃa ser delito
ese tumbao que me tiene
loco y enamorado
DeberÃa no ser tan perfecta
porque voy a perder la cabeza
oe oe, oe oa,
mi niña prohibida
oe oe, oe oa....
DeberÃa estar prohibida por como mira
por su movimiento cuando camina
es que no hay en el cielo una estrella
que a su lado parezca más bella
DeberÃa ser delito
ese tumbao que me tiene
loco y enamorado
Deberia no ser tan perfecta
porque voy a perder la cabeza
In Raul's song "Prohibida," we hear him express his love and admiration for a woman who has captured his heart with just a single glance. He feels that she should be prohibited because of how she makes him feel and how she looks. Raul thinks that her black eyes has put him under a spell and he can't help but be madly in love with her. He continues to describe how she moves and how beautiful she is, as if she is the most beautiful star in the sky. Raul feels that it is a crime for her to be so perfect, and confesses that he is head over heels for her despite the fact that he knows her beauty and charm could very well be his undoing. Raul wants to tell her but is too afraid to do so. He ends the song by repeating the idea that she should be prohibited for how she makes him feel.
The song "Prohibida" is about Raul's love for a woman who he believes is too beautiful and perfect to be real. He describes her beauty and the way she moves in a way that makes her seem like a heavenly being. Raul is so enamored with her that he believes she should be prohibited in some way, as if her beauty is too dangerous to be left unchecked. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes love can be overwhelming, and that the object of that love can seem so perfect that it is almost impossible to imagine being with them. Raul's lyrics capture the passion and intensity of that feeling, and the longing to be with someone who makes you feel like you are living in a dream.
