Con unas ansias locas quiero verte hoy Espero ese momento en que escuche tu voz Y cuando al fin estemos juntos los dos Qué importa qué dirán tu padre y tu mamá Aquí sólo 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 y en mí, ni en el corazón Oh, oh baby Aunque soy pobre todo esto que te doy Vale más que el dinero porque sí es amor Y cuando al fin estemos juntos, los dos Qué importa qué dirán, también la sociedad Aquí sólo 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 y en mí, ni en el corazón Oh, oh baby
