Yo Tuve Un Amor Lyrics in English by Yuridia

Sobrehumano means “superhuman” or “beyond human strength.” In the song, "Hice un esfuerzo sobrehumano" means “I made a superhuman effort,” emphasizing how intensely the singer tried to keep the relationship alive.

Yuridia, an artist from Mexico, tells the story of a love that changed the way she protects herself. After a painful breakup, she says, “Si hoy llevo una armadura” [If I wear armor today], meaning she has built an emotional shield around her heart. This was not a casual romance: “Yo tuve un amor de esos que quieres de a deveras” [I had a love you truly, deeply love]. The phrase de a deveras is an informal way to say “for real” or “genuinely.” She tried every possible way to keep the relationship together and even made an “esfuerzo sobrehumano” [superhuman effort] to make the other person happy.

The song is especially striking because she describes this love as unforgettable and impossible to repeat: “Ni en diez mil primaveras” [not even in ten thousand springs]. She now sees herself as often alone and sad, saying, “De la derrota ya soy cliente” [I’m already a regular customer of defeat]. That is a blunt, slightly bitter image: losing in love has happened so often that it feels familiar. Still, she admits she keeps loving with everything she has, even when the result is usually the same: “Amando como nunca y perdiendo como siempre” [Loving like never before and losing as always].
