Verse 1

I gave you all my love and more

And you don't even recognize what it is to love

I put myself ready at your feet

And only with contempt you have paid me but now go

Chorus 1

If I once said that I loved you, today I regret it

If once I said that I loved you

I don't know what I thought, I was crazy

If once I said that I loved you

And that I’d give my life for you

If once I said that I loved you, I won’t do it again

That mistake is yesterday's thing

Or: That mistake is a thing of the past

Verse 2

I know that one day you'll return

And you'll regret everything

I put myself ready at your feet

And only with contempt you have paid me but now go

Chorus 2

If I once said that I loved you, today I regret it

If once I said that I loved you

I don't know what I thought, I was crazy

If once I said that I loved you

And that I’d give my life for you

If once I said that I loved you, I won’t do it again

That mistake is yesterday's thing

Or: That mistake is a thing of the past

If once I said that I loved you

And that I’d give my life for you

If once I said that I loved you, I won’t do it again

That mistake is yesterday's thing

SONG MEANING

Si Una Vez is a fiery cumbia that transforms heartbreak into pure empowerment. Over an infectious, hip-swaying rhythm, Selena sings as someone who once gave all her love to a careless partner and received only contempt in return. Instead of staying hurt, she flips the script, announcing that she regrets ever loving him and will never make that mistake again. The song captures that electrifying moment when disappointment turns into self-respect.

Each time the chorus repeats, "Si una vez dije que te amaba… hoy me arrepiento," it feels less like sorrow and more like a triumphant chant. Selena reminds us that recognizing our worth, learning from past errors, and daring to walk away can be cause for celebration. So go ahead—dance, sing along, and let this anthem be your soundtrack to moving on with confidence.
