Soy Lo Prohibido Lyrics in English Olga Guillot

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soy Lo Prohibido by Olga Guillot from Spanish to English.
I am that vice on your skin, that you can’t detach anymore
I am the forbidden
I am that fever in your being, that controls you without you wanting it
I am the forbidden
I am that night of pleasure, the one of surrender without papers
I am your punishment
Because in your false intimacy, in every hug that you give her
You dream about me
I am the sin that gave you new hope in love
I am the forbidden
I am the adventure that arrived, to help you keep going
On your path
I am that kiss that is given, that can’t be talked about
I am that name that you’ll never, outside of here, pronounce
I am that love that you’ll deny, to save your dignity
I am the forbidden

SONG MEANING

Olga Guillot’s classic bolero, “Soy Lo Prohibido,” slips us into the shoes of a secret lover who is equal parts thrill and torment. In the song, the narrator proudly calls herself “that vice on your skin” and “the fever in your blood,” underscoring a passion that refuses to be scrubbed away. She is the hidden spark that makes every ordinary embrace with someone else feel counterfeit. While society labels her forbidden, she owns this title with magnetic confidence, knowing she is the illicit excitement that keeps her beloved’s heart racing.

At its core, the song balances desire and guilt. The singer is the kiss that can never be mentioned, the name that must stay locked away, yet she is also the thrill that reignites her lover’s belief in romance. This duality gives the song its irresistible tension: love that feels wonderfully alive but must stay cloaked in shadows to protect “dignity.” The lyrics paint a vivid picture of passion so powerful it becomes both punishment and paradise, inviting listeners to ponder the intoxicating pull of everything we are told to resist.
