Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Solamente Una Vez by Omara Portuondo from Spanish to English.
Solamente una vez amé en la vida
I only loved once in my life
Solamente una vez y nada más
Just once and nothing more
Una vez, nada más
Once, nothing more
en mi huerto brilló la esperanza
hope shone in my garden
la esperanza que alumbra
the hope that illuminates
el camino de mi soledad
the path of my loneliness
Una vez, nada más, se entrega el alma
Once, nothing more, the soul is given
con la dulce y total renunciación
with the sweet and total renunciation
Y cuando ese milagro realiza
And when that miracle performs
el prodigio de amarse
the wonder of loving each other
hay campanas de fiesta
there are party bells
que cantan en mi corazón
that sing in my heart
Y cuando ese milagro realiza el prodigio de amarse
And when that miracle performs the prodigy of loving each other
hay campanas de fiesta que cantan en mi corazón
There are party bells that sing in my heart
