Ya No Me Duele
Rubén Blades & Roberto Delgado & Orquesta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando temprano en la mañana me despierto
Y ya no siento la presencia de tu cuerpo
O que en mi boca no haya sal de tu sudor
Ya no me duele
Ver marchitándose el color del sentimiento
A comprender que se han borrado esos momentos
Ya no me duele
El no contar los chistes que te daban risa
Y aunque aún conserva tu perfume mi camisa
Hoy mi esperanza se ha cansado de esperar
Por eso ya no me duele
El entender que ahora lo nuestro ha terminado
Que la pasión que cultivamos se ha secado
Pero no importa, ya no me duele
Tom Kubis
Ya no me duele
Cuando un amigo me pregunta, "¿Qué te pasa?"
Cuando regreso a los silencios de mi casa
Y pienso en cosas que no quiero recordar, oh
Ya no me duele
Ya no me duelen tanto los atardeceres
Ni los matices que regala un sol que muere
Y me recuerdan tu cabello y su color
Ya no me duele
Cuando en la noche voy camino a casa y pienso
Qué habría pasado si me hubieses dado tiempo
Para mostrarte lo que esconde mi interior
Ya no me duele
Ir a un lugar que iluminaba tu sonrisa
Las tardes cuando caminábamos sin prisa
Haciendo planes que juramos no olvidar
Ya no me duele
El entender que ahora lo nuestro ha terminado
Y aunque aceptar la realidad sea complicado
Ya no me importa, ya no me duele
No me duele
Ya no me duele
Ya no me duele
Ya no me duele
Te lo juro, no me duele
The song "Duele" by Rubén Blades is a powerful expression of the end of a relationship and the pain that comes with it. The singer is admitting that while they used to feel a lot of pain and hurt thinking about their former love, they have moved on and no longer feel that way. The lyrics describe the process of coming to terms with the end of the relationship and the acceptance that this pain is no longer a constant part of their life.
The opening lines of the song reveal that the singer has stopped feeling pain when they wake up in the morning and no longer feel their former partner's presence. They also no longer taste or smell their former partner's sweat on their lips. The lines suggest that the relationship is over, and the singer has begun to move on. The second verse reinforces this idea that the singer is no longer feeling the pain, as they reflect on their past love and the memories they created together. Specifically noting they don’t feel hurt when they think about their lost love’s smile or the evening sun that reminds them of their hair. They recognize that the passion they once shared has disappeared, and the memories they once held dear have lost their value. The chorus repeatedly echoes the line, "Ya no me duele" (It doesn't hurt me anymore), reinforcing the idea that the singer has moved past the pain of the relationship and is ready to move forward.
In conclusion, "Duele" is a powerful song about the pain that comes with the end of a relationship and the process of letting go. It’s about accepting that moving forward doesn’t erase the good times and the memories created with their former partner, but rather is acknowledging that these are events of the past and it's time for the singer to continue with their own journey.
