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

arrepiento — I regret
The word arrepiento means "I regret" and comes from the important reflexive verb arrepentirse. This word is the emotional turning point of the entire song.
In the powerful chorus, Selena sings, "Si una vez dije que te amaba, hoy me arrepiento," which translates to, "If I once said I loved you, today I regret it." Learning this word is key to understanding the song's message of empowerment and moving on from a past mistake.
