With some crazy longing I want to see you
Today
I wait for that moment when
I hear your voice
And when at last we're together
Both of us
It doesn't matter what your dad and your mom will say
Here only our love matters, I love you
Forbidden love they whisper through the streets
Because we are from different societies
Forbidden love everybody tells us
Money doesn't matter to you or to me
Nor in the
Heart
Even though I'm poor, all of this that
I give you
Is worth more than money because
Yes it's love
And when at last we're together
Both of us
It doesn't matter what society will also say
Here only our love matters, I love you
Forbidden love they whisper through the streets
Because we are from different societies
Forbidden love everybody tells us
Money doesn't matter to you or to me
Nor in the heart
Forbidden love they whisper through the streets
Because we are from different societies
Forbidden love everybody tells us
Money doesn't matter to you or to me
Nor in the heart
Forbidden love they whisper through the streets
Because we are from different societies
Forbidden love everybody tells us

SONG MEANING

“Amor Prohibido” is a vibrant Tejano-pop classic in which Selena gives voice to two sweethearts who can hardly wait to meet in secret. Their hearts race with unas ansias locas—a crazy, urgent longing—yet every stolen moment is shadowed by gossiping neighbors and disapproving parents who label their bond a forbidden love simply because they come from different social classes.

Instead of bowing to that pressure, the singer turns defiance into celebration. She declares that true affection is worth more than any fortune, shining a spotlight on love’s power to ignore economic lines and social rules. With its catchy accordion riffs and confident chorus, the song becomes a joyful reminder that “el dinero no importa” when two hearts beat as one.
