Review
Selena Amor Prohibido lyrics meaning
Amor Prohibido or Forbidden Love in English is a song by the famous American and Mexican singer Selena. The song was released in 1994 as part of the album of the same name. the lyrics were written by her brother who is a producer and the song was awarded numerous prizes. Even now the song is still one of the most popular Latin songs of all time.
In its short lyrics, the songs are about love compared to Romeo and Juliet, and although it hasn’t been confirmed it is speculated that the song was inspired by the sad love story.
The Lyrics start with the singing of Selena telling how anxious she is because she’s waiting for the moment that she hears the voice of her lover and the moment they can finally be together. She says to him that it doesn’t matter what his mom and dad say about their relationship because the only thing that matter is their love.
In the street people murmur that their love is forbidden because they are from different societies, she is poor and he is rich, and the small and sincere things she gives him are more worthy than all the money. as you can see the lyrics are very similar in a way to the story of Romeo and Juliet yet it may be related also to the dream that many young girls have to find a rich man that fall in love with them.
