Solamente Una Vez
Maria Felix Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Solamente una vez
ame en la vida,
solamente una vez
why nada mas
Una vez, nada mas
en mi huerto brillo la esperanza,
la esperanza que alumbra el camino
de mi soledad

Una vez, nada mas
se entrega el alma
con la dulce why total
renunciacion,
why cuando ese milagro realiza
el prodigio de amarse,

hay campanas de fiesta que cantan
en el corazon...

Overall Meaning

The song Solamente una Vez by Maria Felix is a beautiful expression of a love that only happens once in a lifetime. The lyrics convey the idea that the singer has only loved once, and it was a transformative experience that brightened her otherwise lonely path in life. It was a love that demanded complete surrender of one's soul and being, but the rewards were priceless. The metaphor of a garden or "huerto" as a symbol of hope and a brighter future is used effectively to illustrate the beauty and rareness of this once-in-a-lifetime love.

The words also suggest that the experience of true love is like a miracle, and when it happens, there are echoes of celebration and joy that reverberate in one's heart. The use of bells or "campanas de fiesta" reinforces this idea of jubilation and festivity. The song is a reminder to cherish and hold onto these precious moments of love, for they may not come again. It is a tribute to the transformative power of love and how it can bring light in the darkest moments and give purpose to one's life.
