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.
Ya No
Selena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esto ya es mucho, y no puedo perdonarte
Vete con ella o quien sea, no me importa
Pero no vuelvas más aquí
¡Ya no, ya no!
Y si me llamas, ya no estaré dispuesta
Y si me escribes, ya no esperes respuesta
Porque no quiero nada de ti
¡Ya no, ya no!
Ya aquí no habrá corazón que te entregue su amor
A la hora que quieras
Ya no tendrás mi pasión, dile adiós al calor
Que un día te diera
Ya te me puedas ir, no hay más que discutir
Ya no te quiero ¡Ya no, ya no!
Y mis amigas me lo dijeron
Que tu cariño jamás sería sincero
Pues hoy lo creo, viéndote en sus brazos
Y ya no te quiero ver
¡Ya no, ya no!
Y estos labios ya no serán tuyos
Será mi amor solo un golpe a tu orgullo
Y si me abrazas, será solo en sueños
Porque ya no te quiero aquí
¡Ya no, ya no!
Ya aquí no habrá corazón que te entregue su amor
A la hora que quieras
Ya no tendrás mi pasión, dile adiós al calor
Que un día te diera
Ya te me puedas ir, no hay más que discutir
Ya no te quiero ¡Ya no, ya no!
Ya aquí no habrá corazón que te entregue su amor
A la hora que quieras
Ya no tendrás mi pasión, dile adiós al calor
Que un día te diera
Ya te me puedas ir, no hay más que discutir
Ya no te quiero ¡Ya no, ya no!
Ooh, oh, no
Ya te me puedas ir, no hay más que discutir
Ya no te quiero ¡Ya no, ya no!
Ya aquí no habrá corazón que te entregue su amor
A la hora que quieras
Ya no tendrás mi pasión, dile adiós al calor
Que un día te diera
Ya te me puedas ir, no hay más que discutir
Oh ¡Ya no, ya no!
(¡Ya no, ya no!) Ooh-hoo
¡Ya no, ya no!
Mmm
Ya te me puedas ir, no hay más que discutir
Ya no, ya no, ya no
In the lyrics of "Ya No," Selena conveys a message of finality and closure to someone who has wronged her. She declares that she knows everything, and that the person is free to leave, but she cannot forgive them. She asserts that she is no longer willing to engage with them, and will not respond to any attempts at communication. She returns any gifts given to her, and tells them that she no longer wants anything to do with them. The chorus reiterates her decision to move on from the relationship.
The verses of the song suggest that Selena's friends warned her about the person's insincerity in the past, and that she now sees this for herself as she watches the person with someone else. She asserts her independence and strength, stating that her love is not something to be taken for granted. The song ends with a repeating chorus, emphasizing her resolve to let go of the past.
Overall, "Ya No" is a powerful statement of self-empowerment and self-care in the face of a toxic or hurtful relationship.

Selena manejaba muy bien cualquier género que le pusieran tenía una voz potente, y no necesito de edición de voz, se perfilaba para ser una reina de la música mejor que Beyoncé, lady Gaga, o Katy Perry, tenía lo que les falta a muchas de ellas, era bella , buena para componer, diseñadora de moda incluso sin haber estudiado, interpretaba a la perfección cualquier género, en toda su extensión de la palabra era super inteligente.
