Locked up and without guarantees
Convict of your mouth every day
With you danger is poetry
For your life I risk mine
Illegal, illegal, illegal
This can't happen between the two of us
Illegal illegal (illegal)
Some kill for love
Illegal, illegal, illegal
This can't happen between the two of us
Illegal illegal (illegal)
Some kill for love
What we have is illegal like gun possession
Your body's a crime that the court doesn't judge
You play with me, babe, that nobody cares
Across your borders I pass without a passport
And I know what you keep quiet, I know what you feel
I know your curves fully
You like that I grab you and talk to you dirty
And that my little delinquent face turns you on
And you like to smoke
When nobody sees you
And you want to touch yourself
When the skinny guy sees you
Illegal, illegal, illegal
This can't happen between the two of us
Illegal illegal (illegal)
Some kill for love
Illegal, illegal, illegal
This can't happen between the two of us
Illegal illegal (illegal)
Some kill for love

SONG MEANING

“Ilegal” is Nanpa Básico’s fiery ode to a romance that feels like a crime of passion. The Colombian rapper paints himself as a willing “prisoner” of his lover, confessing that her kiss locks him up and her body defies any court of law. Every line drips with the thrill of danger: sneaking past borders without a passport, lighting up a secret cigarette, and whispering indecent words when no one is watching. Their connection breaks every rule, yet he is ready to risk everything because, in his eyes, the danger itself is poetry.

At its heart, the song celebrates the magnetic pull of a love that society says should not exist. “Ilegal” turns the idea of a forbidden affair into an exhilarating adventure where passion overpowers caution and both partners revel in the rush. It is a soundtrack for anyone who has ever felt that electrifying mix of risk, desire, and rebellion beating louder than any warning siren.
