Solamente una vez [English translation]

Only once in my life

I have loved truly,

only once in my life,

never again.

Only once in my life

in my garden brightly shined the hope,

the hope that enlightened the path

of my solitude.

Once and never again

the soul surrenders

to the sweet an complete

renunciation.

And when this miracle carries out

the prodigy of loving,

there are joyful bells that sing

deep in the heart.

[Repetition of the last three stanzas]
