Prohibido

I know that even though your mouth drives me crazy
kissing it is forbidden without forgiveness.
And I know that although you also desire me
there is someone standing between the two of us.
Who could have foreseen that true love
would strike our hearts in this way;
late, when we are hopeless,
prisoner of the mistake!

Desire brings us together
and honor separates us...
And though to love is no excuse,
that saves from guilt, love...
your destiny is to love me,
my destiny is to love you.
And destiny is stronger
than prejudice, duty and honor...

On another arm you'll walk through life,
but your soul will be where I am...
However forbidden it may be
that I hold you in my arms!
In the world there is no force that can prohibit me
that I love you...
and kill me this love.

It's not my fault if life in its design
crossed our paths as we walked.
Nor is it to blame if this love that is forbidden
has entered our souls without knocking.
We must bend and suffer both of us
for this bitter and more than cruel separation...
But never can the heart, even if it wants to, renounce the right of this love,
renounce the right of this love.
