Una vida no me da

Lilly Goodman's song "Una vida no me da" is a deeply spiritual and emotional piece that explores the limitations of human life in expressing gratitude and love for the divine. The lyrics convey a sense of overwhelming admiration and devotion, highlighting the inadequacy of words, music, and even time itself to fully capture the depth of the singer's feelings. Goodman uses metaphors like the exhaustion of dictionaries and calendars to illustrate the boundless nature of her emotions, suggesting that no earthly means are sufficient to express her reverence.

The chorus emphasizes the central theme: a single lifetime is not enough to sing, praise, exalt, or love the divine. This is why, according to the song, eternity was invented. The concept of eternity here serves as a divine solution to the limitations of human existence, offering endless time to continue expressing love and gratitude. The repetition of the phrase "una vida no me da" (one life is not enough) reinforces the idea that the singer's devotion transcends the temporal bounds of a single human life.

In the latter part of the song, Goodman speaks of spreading her message to the nations and creating countless recordings, further emphasizing her commitment to sharing her faith and gratitude. She envisions inventing new praises that come from her soul, using fresh words and expressions of thanks. This part of the song underscores the idea that the act of worship and gratitude is a continuous, evolving process that cannot be confined to a single lifetime. The song concludes with a reflection on the abundance of blessings received, acknowledging that even with all she has been given, one life is still not enough to give back.
