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.
