people don’t always realize that learning two languages as a child is a gift, both my parents used spanish as a way to argue with eachother and never told us what things meant. As an adult now i regret not being able to connect w my culture as much but learning more about selena is pushing me so much to learn because she’s such an inspiration :( i hope to be able to fluent eventually in speaking so i can communicate better w my older family and my bfs family too. it’s hard speaking when i’m always fearing something coming out wrong but i just have to keep reminding myself not everyone has the same journey and it takes time
Shit i be miss pronouncing words wrong in Spanish and sometimes they laugh but thats how you learn dont be afraid to ask how to say stuff it will help you in the long run
Her music has that Bob Marley effect.No matter what part of the planet you reside, Selena will send those happy endorphins down your spine.Universal appeal.The creator put a special kind of spirit in that girl.
My mom went to this concert. She said it was her 1st concert and she remembers everything. She said it was one of the best days of her life. Still has her tickets actually
When I was in high school my teacher dedicated a whole unit to Selena :) that's how I got to know her, we watched the 1997 movie and then listened to all of her songs!
I'm Mexican but don't know Spanish but yet I can sing this song Edit: I’m getting A lot of hate so let me be more specific. My dad is Mexican and my mom is Native American and white and I live with my mom so I’m not really around Spanish speakers
Selena was such a icon, but her time in this life was cut short. Like all the others before her that were also an icon, She joined the ranks up high and left an impact. Rest in peace Selena.
The lyrics are heart breaking, trust me. Basically, her boyfriend found someone else and left her. "Like a flower we had so much love but it withered away..." She's being the bigger person and because she loves him, she hopes he is happy with her.
It sounds so upbeat, but the lyrics are heartbreaking. For those of you who don't speak Spanish, this is a pretty accurate translation: I know you have a new love, but I wish the best for you. If in me you did not find happiness, maybe someone else can give you that. Like the flower, with so much love you gave to me, it withered away. I'm leaving today, I know how to lose... but oh, oh, oh how it hurts me. If you saw how it hurts to lose your love... with your goodbye, you take my heart. I don't know if I can love again, because I gave you all the love I could give. Like the flower, with so much love you gave to me, it withered away. I'm leaving today, I know how to lose... but oh, oh, oh how it hurts me. Rest in peace, beautiful angel. You will never be forgotten.
I don't speak so much Spanish but I know most of the song in Spanish and reading it in English I now fully understand the song and it is a heartbreaking song
I remember when I was waking up every Saturday to this knowing that it was time to clean😂but I loved this song tho Edit: Thank You all so much! I never got this many likes!
I can't understand what she is saying. But for some reason it sounds so good lol seeing that I don't speak Spanish, Idk how I can continue to listen to this over and over lol this dope as hell.
Glenn Bruce-Konuah You've probably have already looked up the lyrics but just in case you haven't. It's basically a break up song despite how cheerful and romantic she sounds. She's basically saying even though i didn't make you happy when we were together i hope you find it with your new love and i am happy for you but i'll miss you.
I was in high school when she died. I remember hearing her music on the radio & then hearing about what happened. But as I got older I started really learning about everything that happened, it’s to me beyond sad. Totally senseless & uncalled for. To be respectful I’ll just say forget you yolanda 4ever!! I know you never knew me Selena but I miss you...I miss you so much! I can’t speak Spanish but I want to learn badly. I can sing, I want to sing this song for you as my tribute to you “Queen” through you I will learn to sing this even if I can’t speak Spanish. R.I.P Queen of Tejano Music Selena Quintanilla
I wish i could have been there for her, even though i was a few years old.. im so sorry what happened.. it sickening to think yolanda is going to be set out in 2025.. but i figure Selena wouldn't want anyone to take revenge... I wish i could meet her in person, Selena seems like she would of been such a amazing person! But God has his plan for her and I pray she's with God in everlasting life
R.i.o queen Selena💜🎶🎶🎶🎶 i remember when concert i went to in Texas loved her!.....n also day she passed away I was only 21 was so 😥 😔 😪 she was so talented, beautiful! As a Mexican American that I am was so proud!!! She had so much to give n would've been so extremely more successful if she was here today...I now tell my 12yr daugther about all the time! R.i.p SELENA
I was in Spanish class watching Selena the movie and I fell in love with these songs it's amazing her voice is so great I hope that her manger never gets out for killing Selena
Well idkk bc this girl said that she went to hell god took her to hell for 20 minutes and god said do you see the girl with flames and she said yea He said that’s Selena the famous Mexican American singer and they got closer and Selena said MY LORD PLS TAKE ME OUT OF THIS PLACE!!! She was screaming and god said it’s to late.. then she look at the girl and said PLS TELL EVERYONE TO NOT HERE MY SONGS I SUFFER MORE!! AND TELL THEM THAT HELL IS REAL!!
Alecia Ward XD cool im 10 yrs old and i do that some times i wish selena was still avive she had a vary good heart and was a goof person she dident deserve to get shot i love this music so much!

I pulled the trigger and shot Selena in the back he comes out the front Selena statue will be remembered leaving flowers on memorial statue boho braid with flowers to remember Selena keep singing and dancing to Selena song and keep her Legacy alive I need to keep Selena Vive and what's up with you soon Park called Don't pursue School says that the show and what's up with you soon Park called Don't pursue School says that the show and when the word Selena be there in the beginning Jennifer Lopez the actress told the when did she Selena when she says that the key Selena's Legacy alive we all feel bad for Selena she's in heaven once a girl told told another person that Selena was in hell so don't listen her songs or sing or listen to Selena songs that will torment her and hell and a girl saw in the woman covered in Flames was Selena

Asha Wellington She has already served her time she is sopposed to be in prison for 25 years and she's getting out on parole.You would be hurting a human being I know she killed a beautiful and talented person but everyone makes mistakes and that It will haunt her for the rest of her life There is no reason to hurt her she is paying her price right now.knowing how selena was she is a very forgiveful person so if she's a role model to everyone like all of you say then do what she would do and just forgive her
Yessss I'm the same way. I've been obsessed with Selena ever since seeing the movie based on her life when I was a kid. I even named my first born daughter Selena. ☺️💖
the lyrics were beautiful because the voice that sang them was beautiful. a lovely song from a woman who epitomized loveliness and beauty. you are gone,,, como me duele...how it hurts....
My grandmother's favorite song from her idol, Rest In Peace Selena Quintanilla R.i.p. Grandma, passed when I was just 4 years old. I'll always remember her 😢😭😭😭
My parents played this on my first birthday and it's been a tradition to play her entire album, which was in cassette form and we still have it and we still break out the cassette and boom box and play her songs on my birthday. Love her
2019 ??? my mom cries when she listens to this song because she misses selena so much !! she got an autograph and a photo with selena. te amo selena y descansa en paz, todos te extrañamos...😭❤️
britany toch lucky are those who had the oportunity to see her or even take a photo with your mom has a piece of selena's love thats always gonna be gold viva selena 🤩🤩🤩
I actually remember returning back from high school the day she was killed, and one of my aunts was very sad just listening to this song. She was cleaning the house and I saw her just on the corner of the kitchen like reflecting holding the box of the cassette recording of this album. I asked her what was wrong, she told me what happened so I just hugged her and we listened to the full album, both sides while she was telling me about how Selena danced on her concerts and how "clean" her music was. Unfortunately, my aunt nowadays has schizophrenia and her mind is lost, doesn't talk much at all and doesn't react to Selena's music anymore. Still it's a great memory of me and her enjoying Selena's music, shame that it was on a somber day for the artist.
Does anyone else see this? People who don't even speak Spanish love her music! That's how much her music touched people. This is proof that even though she is not with us anymore her music will always be.💕❣️💜🖤💕❣️💜🖤 We love you Selena😍
dont worry selena did not speak spanish very well and only knew how to sing it it cuz she was tex mex... lol its no biggy half of us tejanos cant speak a damn word of spanish and only know how to sing in it cuz we grew up with our grandmothers listening to tejano music lol
My best friend in the world was Mexican she lost her life in 2019 of a suicide overdose .. I know she’s up in heaven with Selena ... we both loved Selena i started watching the series 🥰😍👍👍👍 rip Dora rip Selena .. Angels in Heaven
No Texas history course can be complete without Selena. She was the embodiment of what it means to be a Texan, and it is thanks to her and other latina leaders that my family and I have the freedom to reach for our wildest dreams without fear of persecution. Que descanse en paz.
I love Selena so much! She such a beautiful voice and is ridiculously talented! It breaks my heart to think that someone could have enough hatred for this talented and wonderful woman to take her life. Rest in peace forever.
(*english version*) I know you have A new love Nevertheless I wish you the best If in me you found no Happiness Perhaps someone else Will give it to you Like the flower (Like the flower) With so much love (With so much love) You gave me It withered Today I leave I know how to lose But oh, how it hurts me Oh, how it hurts me If you were to see how it hurts To lose your love With your farewell you take with you my heart I don't know if I'll be able To love again Because I gave you all the love I could give Like The Flower...
No one could ever forget of our legend she inspired so many-of us to pursue our dreams. we miss her, but at-least she left us something to remind us of her, her beautiful heart touching songs.
