I have lost you so many times

That the memory is inevitable

And the anguish of the reunion

Of your skin against my skin

It has cost me so much and so much

That now my soul withers

And little tears fall apart

That forgot to pray

And if I had known

That for you I was so little

I would have been more prudent

When giving you my heart

And if I had known

That for you everything was a game

That summer among your kisses

I wouldn't have written this song

Little by little I am losing

The clarity of your portrait

But I don't forget for a second

The sweetness of your, of your hands

And if I had known

That for you I was so little

I would have been more prudent

When giving you my heart

And if I had known

That for you everything was a game

That summer among your kisses

Oh, oh, oh

I wouldn't have written this song

SONG MEANING

Silvana Estrada’s “Marchita” is the sound of a flower losing its color under the weight of unreturned love. With her warm yet fragile voice, the Mexican singer-songwriter looks back on a relationship that felt intense in the moment but was ultimately one-sided. She pictures her heart as a blossom that has wilted after “so many times” of losing this person, and every note is a sigh remembering the texture of their summer kisses, the sweetness of their hands, and the painful realization that for the other person it was all just a game.

Instead of anger, the song glows with quiet regret: If only I had known… runs through the lyrics like a soft refrain. Estrada admits she would have guarded her heart more carefully, saved herself the tears that “forgot how to pray,” and perhaps never penned this very song. “Marchita” becomes a bittersweet lesson in self-worth and vulnerability, reminding listeners that even the most delicate souls can find strength in acknowledging their own wilted petals and choosing to heal.
