Selena made her first public appearance at her father's Mexican restaurant in Lake Jackson at eight and recorded her first record at nine. Throughout her adolescence Selena was constantly on tour. She completed her education via correspondence courses. The singer signed with Capitol EMI in 1989, and released several albums with that label, including 1994's wildly popular 'Amor Prohibido'.
Chris Perez replaced Roger Garcia as guitar player. A romance budded between Perez and Selena, and the two married on April 2, 1992. Even as Selena's career skyrocketed she remained very close to her family, choosing to live next door to them in Corpus Christi.
Selena holds the record of drawing the biggest concert crowd in the history of the Houston Astrodome, for her February 1995 performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
The greatest irony in Selena's musical career is that she became a star singing in her second language. Her first language was English, not Spanish.
Aside from her singing, Selena was an avid clothing designer. Boutique shops with the Selena name opened in Corpus Christi and San Antonio in 1994. She also dabbled in acting, making a cameo in the Johnny Depp film 'Don Juan de Marco'.
A woman named Yolanda Saldívar worked her way into the singer's inner circle, becoming president of Selena's fan club and manager of the boutiques. In 1995 the Quintanillas found out Saldivar had embezzled money from these ventures and decided to fire her. Selena agreed to meet Saldivar at a Corpus Christi Days Inn on the morning of March 31, 1995 in order to retrieve paperwork for tax purposes. At the motel an argument ensued over the embezzlement and Saldivar shot the singer once in the back. Selena died within hours at a local hospital.
Selena's death shocked and saddened Tejano fans in Latin communities throughout the United States and in Mexico. Numerous vigils and memorials were held in the singer's honor. That summer her album 'Dreaming of You', a combination of Spanish language hits and new English language tracks, debuted at #1 on the Billboard music charts in the US.
In October of 1995 a Houston jury convicted Saldívar of murder and sentenced her to life in prison, with parole eligibility in thirty years.
There is a museum to honor Selena's memory and a bronze life-sized statue of her on Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi. In 1997, Jennifer Lopez played Selena in the movie of the same name. The movie became the basis in which Lopez rose to superstardom.
In December 2020, Netflix released "Selena: The Series", together with Selena's family in production, based on her life in childhood, before fame, her space in the music industry and her importance for the Latin scenary, played by Christian Serratos. The series contains 2 parts with 18 episodes in total. The second and final part was released in May 2021.
Si Una Vez
Selena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y tu no reconoces ni lo que es amar
Yo me puse dispuesta a tus pies
Y tan solo 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 tu volverás
Y tu de todo te arrepentirás
Yo me puse dispuesta a tus pies
Y tan solo 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 se 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
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 Selena's song "Si Una Vez" tells the story of a woman who gave her all to a man who did not appreciate her love. She put herself at his feet, but he repaid her with only disdain. However, she now regrets declaring her love for him once, saying she doesn't know what she was thinking - she was crazy. She adds that she will no longer make that mistake and move on from her past. But she knows that he will come back to her one day, and he will regret what he did to her. The song is powerful because it combines heartbreak and empowerment, with the singer taking charge of her emotions and deciding to move forward with her life.
