[Intro]
Ya no duele como antes, no
La herida de tu amor sanó
[Coro]
De una vez por toda', ah-ah-ah
Soy más fuerte sola, ah-ah-ah
Es que no me arrepiento del pasado
Sé que el tiempo a tu lado cortó mis alas
Pero ahora este pecho es antibalas
[Verso]
No te tengo a ti, me tengo a mí
No es para que piense' que esto es pa' ti, nah
Yo me fui para que no se te olvide
Que a una muerte como tú se rеvive
Cuando se sequе el último mar
Es cuando pensaré en regresar
Tú has sobreentendido lo que siento
Ya no estás, qué bueno es el tiempo
Estoy curá' de ti, te dije ya
Ya no te siento aquí, no te siento ya
Nunca supiste, no me supiste valorar, y (Oh)
[Coro]
De una vez por toda' (De una vez por toda'), ah-ah-ah
Soy más fuerte sola, ah-ah-ah-ah
Es que no me arrepiento del pasado
Sé que el tiempo a tu lado cortó mis alas (Ah-ah)
Pero ahora este pecho es antibalas
[Outro]
Oh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ahora este pecho es antibalas
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Sola, ah-ah, ah
Ahora este pecho es antibalas

[Intro]
It doesn't hurt like before, no
The wound of your love healed
[Chorus]
Once and for all, ah-ah-ah
I'm stronger alone, ah-ah-ah (I'm stronger alone)
It's just that I do not regret the past
I know that the time by your side cut my wings
But now this chest is bulletproof
[Verse]
I don't have you, I have myself
It's not for you to think that this is for you, nah
I left so that you don't forget
That a death like you is revived
When the last sea dries up
Is when I will think of returning
You have understood what I feel
You are no longer here, how good is the time
I'm cured of you, I told you already
I no longer feel you here, I don't feel you anymore
You never knew, you didn't know how to value me, and (Oh)
[Chorus]
Once and for all (Once and for all), ah-ah-ah
I'm stronger alone, ah-ah-ah
It's just that I do not regret the past
I know that the time by your side cut my wings (Ah-ah)
But now this chest is bulletproof
[Outro]
Oh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
This chest is bulletproof
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Alone, ah-ah, ah
Now this chest is bulletproof
References in the video "De Una Vez" and their meaning[]
- The video begins with Selena waking up in bed with her heart slowly healing, one can see that someone is sleeping next to her, probably an illusion/ghost of her past. Then the heart is healed, and the illusion / ghost of the past disappears.
- The heart symbolizes love and light.
- This scene is also a continuation of what she completed in the era of "Rare", she opened her heart to us in the cover of" Rare", and it burst into light, now it is healing itself.
- Moreover, on the cover of "Rare", she also wore a heart-shaped necklace.
- Photo shoot "Rare" - her dream in the snow (an allusion to her "hibernation" and disappearance for four years) in DUV ("De Una Vez"), she finally wakes up in the spring and is stronger than ever.
- "De Una Vez" is similar to the second version of the "Rare" music video, where she also works miracles and experiences supernatural adventures
- Comparison of "Rare" and "De Una Vez" music videos»
- land management:
- The video "De Una Vez" begins with her waking up and the flowers around her starting to grow. This is the rebirth phase (plants and flowers symbolize rebirth and vulnerability).
- ruling the light:
- In the DUV video, she absorbs light, and in "Rare", she controls it. It's like a healing process, we see the same hand movements as in "Rare".
- She did the same thing in the "Fetish" video, but it was VERY subtle, we can see that the dining room is full of lights, candles, etc. Rain on the ceiling is also a metaphor for healing and purification. After Selena passed through it, all the lights went out.
- land management:
- Now back to DUV, after her heart completely absorbed the light, she managed to recreate the angel wings scene from "Fetish", which basically confirms the previous point.
- Alternate Universe / Cloning:
- We can see her twice in the room, looking at herself from the mirror and burning old photos.
- In the "Rare" video, she looks in the mirror and we see two Selenas, one shining from the inside and the other looking down.
- The last time we saw her clone was in the music video for "Rare" and the music video for "Bad Liar".
- The last scene from the video "Bad Liar". We see her wearing a necklace with a heart-shaped gold pendant and falling asleep again in bed with a daisy-print blanket. In DUV, She wakes up in a dress with daisies, a golden heart and surrounded by real daisies.
- Technically, we can think of DUV as a dream state in which a girl burns a polaroid (in other words, DUV and "Rare" are a continuation of what other videos started)
- The next scene is definitely a hint of the "Rare" era ending before the time of the pandemic, we can see the butterflies from the "Rare" video, the car keys from the "Boyfriend" music video, and the chrysanthemum that symbolizes the desire to be healthy.
- This scene, in which she is surrounded by an aesthetic of yellow / gold hues, represents happiness, joy, sunshine. This is the only scene where she dances. The same thing happened in "Fetish" and " Rare»
- This is a mix of the videos "Fetish" and "Rare", where she calms her inner Self. You can see a small angel decoration ("Fetish") and flowers from " Rare»
- It's like Selena from the DUV clip is talking to Selena from "Fetish" through a mirror.
- In this scene, we see her in the last room of the house, where we can notice how her past albums / works are slipping away, and this can be a representation of how she leaves the past behind.
- The heart turns from orange to pink, and anger turns to love. It's completely healed, and Selena is ready to close another chapter of her life and put the past behind her.
- Three Windows are her past albums, they are like the windows of her soul. She took the curtains off them. The door is her next job, as she passes through it at the end. In the last scene we see that 3 windows are empty because she is ready to move on.
