DUELE Lyrics (English Translation) – YSY A, Emirsito, Oniria

DUELE (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, the artists express how it feels to struggle in the pursuit of pleasure and success. They talk about the pain of waiting for things to fall into place and the anxiety that accompanies it. They also touch on the frustration of seeing others on TV living their ideal lives, while they themselves are stuck fighting for what they want, unable to be true to who they are.

[Verse]
The verse highlights the contrast between the dreams of fame, money, and fans that many people share, and the harsh reality that only a few are willing to truly take risks to achieve these dreams. The artists reveal their frustration with the monotony of everyday life, as they see others constantly fighting to stay relevant or in the spotlight. They admit that fame and fortune, which many hope for, have only increased their pain and struggles. The “kilos of favors” suggest they feel weighed down by the obligations and debts that come with success. The mention of “burning kilos of flowers” might refer to self-destructive behaviors, like using substances to cope. They also reflect on their changing mindset, having erased unnecessary things from their life, and the strained relationships that come with success. They’re caught up in their habits and have little time to deal with personal demons. They also reflect on how their dreams have evolved; what was once unimaginable has now become ordinary achievements. Despite years passing, they haven’t faded from the scene, and their fame continues to grow. They remind listeners that their success wasn’t a fluke—it came from consistent effort and determination, from betting on themselves. The verse ends with the artist reflecting on how far they’ve come, from small venues to filling stadiums, and now aiming to take their music to international stages.

[Bridge]
In this bridge, the artists recognize that time has been their greatest teacher. They understand that their journey has been full of painful experiences that have shaped them. They now value the lessons learned from these struggles and acknowledge that pain is part of growth. The truth is clear to them: success is not just about the highs but about the painful moments that lead to personal growth.

[Chorus]
The chorus speaks to the physical and emotional toll that chasing success takes on the artists. They mention sleepless nights and the constant struggle to find success, as well as the feeling of emptiness when it doesn’t come as expected. They dream of the luxury that fame brings, like flying in planes and staying in hotels, but they also acknowledge the underlying pain and exhaustion. Despite their dreams, they often face moments of doubt when it seems like giving up might be the only option. The reference to spending time in a “plaza apartment” indicates that despite having big dreams, they still deal with feelings of being stuck and uncertain.

[Outro]
In the outro, both YSY A and Emirsito express their shared understanding of the pain and sacrifice they’ve been through. The repetitive declaration of “I know what it hurts” reinforces the idea that they’ve been through the struggles of fame together. They reflect on their major milestones, like performing in front of thousands at the Malvinas Argentina Stadium and releasing their first album, acknowledging how these moments marked the beginning of their emotional journey toward fame.
