Solamente Una Vez
Natalie Cole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Solamente una vez
Ame en la vida,
Solamente una vez
Y 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 y total
Renunciacion
Y cuando ese milagro realiza
El prodigio de amarse




Hay campanas de fiesta que cantan
En el corazon

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Solamente Una Vez indicate that the singer has loved only once in her life. The song is all about that one epic, passionate love that remains unmatched throughout a lifetime. The lyrics follow a wistful, nostalgic tone, suggesting that the love has already passed, and the singer is only looking back on it, cherishing it. She repeats the phrase "Una vez, nada mas" to emphasize the simplicity and irreplaceable nature of her love. The singer talks about how her "huerto brillo la esperanza" - which translates to "hope shone in my garden" - indicating that the love gave her life, granting her hope and illuminating her solitary path.


She talks of the manner in which the soul surrenders, giving everything it has, sacrificing everything for the sake of love. The way she describes that moment is entirely romantic as it portrays that love is a form of exaltation and complete denial of self. The singer reflects upon the magical aspect of love and how it can move mountains, and then goes on to describe bells of celebration ringing in the heart when the miracle of love happens.
