Y'all, Selena sings BEAUTFULLY in Spanish!

Gomez has officially kicked off her new music era, and she is releasing an album entirely in Spanish after dropping her new single 'De Una Vez', which translates to 'At Once' in English.

After the song dropped on Thursday Selena said it marked “the beginning of something I’ve wanted to explore for so long. I hope you love it as much as I do.”

Selena has been planning a Spanish album for years, telling Zane Lowe on Apple Music last year: “This has been something I've wanted to do for 10 years, working on a Spanish project, because I'm so, so proud of my heritage, and just genuinely felt like I wanted this to happen.
​
“And it happened, and I feel like it's the perfect timing. Just with all the division in the world, there's something about Latin music that globally just makes people feel things, you know?"


Here are Selena’s ‘De Una Vez’ lyrics translated into English…

It doesn't hurt me like before

The injury from your love has healed

Once and for all

I am stronger on my own

And it's not that I regret the past

I know that the time spent by your side cut my wings

But now my chest is bulletproof

I don't have you, I have myself

This is not for you to think it's about you

I left so don't you forget

That through death one can be reborn

When the last ocean dries up

That's when I'll think about coming back

Now I fully understand what I feel

You're not here

How good is the time that has passed

I am healed from you, I already told you

I no longer feel you

I don't feel you anymore

You never knew how to value me, and...

Once and for all

I am stronger on my own

And it's not that I regret the past

I know that the time spent by your side cut my wings

But now my chest is bulletproof

Oh

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

My chest is bulletproof

Uh-uh-uh-uh

Alone, ah-ah, ah
​
Now my chest is bulletproof
