    Bueno Diana, soy hablante nativo de inglés: y la traducción literal no tiene sentido y no me ocurre un dicho en inglés.

    In my opinion, it means If someone won your heart once, no matter what happens, he/she will forever "own" you.
    It may sound a little less romantic than your translation reminder, what do you think?

    If that's what it means then the author must not have lost his/her heart but once. Not so in my case. Some of us have lost our hearts a few times...

    Then I'm sure you probably "own" a few hearts Vicente...
    The more you loose, the more you own/have, the more you win... This saying makes no logical sense!

    Stand by the man who loves you everyday, even though love started long ago?

    I think this saying is for romantic people. And we all know spanish is/sounds more romantic than english. Maybe that's why there's no correct translation.
