Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Duele by elida reyna from Spanish to English.

You leave when I loved you the most

You leave me with a deep wound

You painted a real world of joy

I, foolish, thought that you’d always love me

Why was I the last to know that you had another woman

Everyone but me knew it

I'm gonna try not to cry

That's why I'm gonna drink to forget you

Three bottles of tequila

Why it hurts, oh God, how it hurts me

To watch a dream that fed our love fall apart

Because of a bad heart

Waiter, serve everyone please

Because I want that they toast in my honor

I'm gonna forget my role of being a woman this time

I'm gonna drown all my sorrows in liquor

Why the woman just like me, a liar fooled her

Raise your glasses why let's forget the pain

Why it hurts, oh God, how it hurts me

To see the dream that fed our love shatter

Because of your lies

Why it hurts, oh God, how it hurts me

To see when my sun goes out

I'm losing my mind

For someone who doesn't deserve me to love him

SONG MEANING

“Duele” is a spirited Tejano-cumbia confession about love’s bitter aftertaste. Elida Reyna describes the exact moment her once-vibrant romance shatters: she discovers her partner has another woman, and everyone knew but her. The lyrics drip with raw disbelief (“Fui la última a saber”), a sting that quickly turns into determined self-reliance. Instead of quietly suffering, she decides to drown the memory in tres botellas de tequila, inviting every woman who has ever been lied to raise a glass with her.

Beneath the upbeat accordion and lively percussion lies a powerful message: when betrayal hits, sorrow is real, yet solidarity and celebration can help reclaim your joy. Elida turns the cantina into a refuge where tears, tequila, and loud toasts transform pain into empowerment. The song reminds learners that even in heartbreak, a bold spirit and shared camaraderie can ease the hurt—por Dios, ¡cómo duele!, but together we heal.
