Selena - Amor Prohibido (Letra/Lyrics)

Amor Prohibido (English: Forbidden Love) is the fourth studio album by American singer Selena, released on March 13, 1994, by EMI Latin. Having reached a core fan base, the label aimed to broaden her appeal with the next studio release. Finding it challenging to write a follow-up hit after "Como la Flor" (1992), Selena's brother A. B. Quintanilla enlisted the assistance from band members Ricky Vela and Pete Astudillo with writing the album's songs. The resulting album has a more mature sound featuring experimental production that blends diverse musical styles from ranchera to hip-hop music. Amor Prohibido is a Tejano cumbia album modernized with a synthesizer-rich delivery using a minimalist style that was quintessential in early 1990s Tejano music.

The album's songs deal with dysfunctional and volatile relationships; its lyrics explore unrequited love, infidelity, and social division. With relatively few love songs, Amor Prohibido narrates a woman's struggles and triumphs following unsuccessful relationships with men who struggle with commitment. The album continued the singer's streak of number-one singles on the United States Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart with the title track "Amor Prohibido"— which became the most successful US Latin single of 1994, a feat she repeated the following year with "No Me Queda Más". Along with the latter, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and "Fotos y Recuerdos" also topped the US Latin chart, and together with "Si Una Vez" are regarded as Selena's signature recording

When the album tour broke attendance records at the Houston Astrodome and attracted a record-breaking crowd at Miami's Calle Ocho Festival, Selena became recognized as one of the biggest US Latin touring acts at that time. Amor Prohibido became the first Tejano record to peak at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, remaining in the top five for 98 consecutive weeks. The album holds the record for most weeks at number one on Billboard's Regional Mexican Albums chart at 97 nonconsecutive weeks, as well as crowning the chart in four different calendar years. Amor Prohibido received critical acclaim, it is considered to be Selena's best work and her band's "crowning achievement". The album's sound received the highest acclaim, it was noted by critics to have retained its innovative spirit well into the 21st century. Amor Prohibido is credited with catapulting Tejano music into mainstream success resulting in sales to listeners previously unfamiliar with the genre. Amor Prohibido was nominated for Best Mexican-American Album at the 37th Grammy Awards. The record took Album of the Year honors at the 1995 TMA's and the Lo Nuestro Award for Best Regional Mexican Album.

Con unas ansias locas
Quiero verte hoy
Espero ese momento
En que escuche tu voz

Y cuando al fin
Estemos juntos los dos

Que importa que diran
Tu padre y tu mama
Aqui solo importa nuesto amor
Te quiero

Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo

El dinero no importa en ti ni en mi
Ni en el corazon oh, oh baby

Aunque soy pobre
Todo esto que te doy
Vale mas que el dinero
Porque si es amor

Y cuando al fin
Estemos juntos los dos

Que importa que dira
Tambien la sociedad
Aqui solo importa nuestro amor
Te quiero

Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo

El dinero no importa en ti ni en mi
Ni en el corazon oh, oh baby

Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo

El dinero no importa en ti ni en mi
Ni en el corazon oh, oh baby

Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo

El dinero no importa en ti ni en mi
Ni en el corazon oh, oh baby

El dinero no importa en ti ni en mi
Ni en el corazon oh
El dinero no importa en ti ni en mi
Solo el nuestro amor

Son canciones k no pasan de moda una mujer mui talentosa lastima k ya no este

[GABRIELQUIRUMBAYREYES]

Qué importa lo que digan los demás, pero estas son canciones que los machos alfa escuchamos aunque sea con los audífonos puestos, para no tener que levantar muchas sospechas de que nos gustan estas melodías femeninas, aunque a veces es normal escucharlos a todo volumen cuando realizamos algún trabajo. Esta joyita de canción es uno de los mejores temas de esta extinta cantante que conservo en mi colección de archivos musicales, Éxitos por siempre. Gracias.
