Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y tú, no reconoces ni lo que es amar
Yo, me puse dispuesta a tus pies
Y tan sólo con desprecio me has pagado, pero ahora ve
Si una vez dije que te amaba
Hoy me arrepiento
Si una vez dije que te amaba
Si una vez dije que te amaba
Y que por ti la vida daba
Si una vez dije que te amaba
No lo vuelvo a hacer
Ese error es cosa de ayer
Yo, sé que un día tú volverás
Y tú, de todo te arrepentirás
Yo, me puse dispuesta a tus pies
Y tan sólo con desprecio me has pagado, pero ahora ve
Si una vez dije que te amaba
Hoy me arrepiento
Si una vez dije que te amaba
No sé lo que pensé, estaba loca
Si una vez dije que te amaba
Y que por ti la vida daba
Si una vez dije que te amaba
No lo vuelvo a hacer
Ese error es cosa de ayer

The lyrics of Alicia Villarreal's "Si Una Vez" express a deep sense of regret and reflection about a past relationship. The singer confesses to having given all of her love to her partner, who never reciprocated or appreciated it. She reflects on having once believed that she loved him, but now realizes that she was "locura" or crazy, and that her devotion was misplaced. Despite her initial willingness to do anything for him, she was repaid with"desprecio" or disdain. However, the song also reveals a sense of hope as the singer believes that one day her ex will regret his actions and understand the depth of the love he once rejected.
"Si Una Vez" was written by the successful Mexican songwriter Marco Antonio Solis, and it was originally performed by his group Los Bukis. In 1994, Los Bukis released the song as a single from their album "Inalcanzable". It was also featured on their live album "Los Bukis En Vivo". Villarreal's version of the song was released in 2001 as part of her album "Alicia Villarreal". The song became a major hit in Mexico, the United States, and Latin America.

Cuando hay un estilo muy definido, talento y voz da este resultado... No es que sea una "digna" cantante para cantar un tema así... Es simplemente que tiene TODO para hacer propia una melodía cómo esta! Orgullo mexicano...una Reyna!!
