“Duele” is a heartfelt conversation between two voices that refuse to let go. Yuri and Reik paint the picture of a love that hurts precisely because it was so powerful: the heart is “close to pain,” torn between “I hate you” and “I love you so much.” Every line is an inner tug-of-war where memories refuse to be erased, making forgetting feel like a punishment. The singers admit they once lived in a dream of their own making, only to wake up and realize their partner had “a soul of wind” ‑- impossible to hold onto.
The chorus repeats the word “duele” (it hurts) like a pulse, driving home three big feelings: 1) the agony of oblivion, 2) the weight of loneliness, and 3) the fear that the wound “will not close in this life.” Despite the pain, the song never slips into despair. Instead, it captures that universal, bittersweet moment when you finally see there is no exit yet still keep searching for one. By the end, “Duele” becomes an anthem for anyone learning that true healing means accepting both love and loss in the same breath.
