Soy Lo Prohibido Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soy Lo Prohibido by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
I'm that vice of your skin
That you can't tear away anymore
I'm the forbidden
I'm that fever of your being
That dominates you without you meaning to
I'm the forbidden
I'm that night of pleasure
The one of surrender without papers
I'm your punishment
Because in your false intimacy
In every embrace that you give her
You dream about me
I'm the sin that gave you
New hope in love
I'm the forbidden
I'm the adventure that arrived
To help you keep going
On your path
I'm that kiss that's given
Without being able to talk about it
I'm that name that you'll never
Pronounce outside here
I'm that love that you'll deny
To save your dignity
I'm the forbidden
I'm the sin that gave you
New hope in love
I'm the forbidden
I'm the adventure that arrived
To help you keep going
On your path
I'm that kiss that's given
Without being able to talk about it
I'm that name that you'll never
Pronounce outside here
I'm that love that you'll deny
To save your dignity
I'm the forbidden

SONG MEANING

Craving, secrecy, and guilt swirl together in "Soy Lo Prohibido." Sung from the viewpoint of a clandestine lover, the narrator proudly claims to be the fever in another person's skin, the spark that reignites their jaded heart, and their inevitable punishment. The song paints the irresistible pull of an affair that survives only in whispers: kisses that cannot be mentioned, a name that must never leave the room, and a desire strong enough to eclipse vows and appearances.

Natalia Lafourcade delivers these lyrics with a blend of tenderness and mischief, turning forbidden love into a bittersweet dance. The protagonist is both temptation and salvation, offering fresh excitement that helps the other person keep moving forward while silently threatening their dignity. In the end, the track becomes a lyrical confession that shows how love can feel thrilling, liberating, and dangerously addictive when it wears the label lo prohibido.
