Solamente una vez y nada más.

Una vez, nada más
Once, nothing more
en mi huerto brilló la esperanza,

la esperanza que alumbra

el camino de mi soledad.

Una vez, nada más, se entrega el alma,
Once, nothing more, the soul is given,
con la dulce y total renunciación.

Y cuando ese milagro realiza

el prodigio de amarse,

hay campanas de fiesta
There are party bells
que cantan en mi corazón.
