Song Meaning of “Caricias Prohibidas” by Viti Ruiz
‘Caricias Prohibidas’ by Viti Ruiz speaks to the feelings of desire and longing between two people who cannot be together in a physical way. This song lyrics speak to the difficulties of a forbidden relationship, as lovers can only feel the presence of each other through their words and thoughts, being forced to imagine what could be if there were no barriers between them. The narrator is fully aware of the illegality of the situation in which they find themselves, but decides to look past these taboos, reveling in the imagined intimacy of their forbidden romance. The chorus reflects the desperate hope of their relationship, as their fantasies of what could be overwhelm the pain of what it cannot. In the end, the feeling of love transcends even the ultimate of obstacles, with the hope of union being the driving force of this desperate plea for the strength to move forward.
