DUELE Lyrics – YSY A, Emirsito, Oniria

DUELE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, YSY A reflects on the pain of pursuing pleasures and achievements, acknowledging that striving for them often brings anxiety and self-doubt. Watching others on TV living the life he dreams of, he feels the struggle of not being able to reach that level yet. This section sets up a theme of yearning and sacrifice, suggesting that ambition and dreams come with emotional challenges that can feel intense and overwhelming.

[Verso]
The verse dives deeper into the artist’s perspective on fame, success, and the sacrifices it requires. YSY A, Emirsito, and Oniria discuss how everyone dreams of wealth, fame, and fans, but few are willing to take the risks needed to achieve them. This path comes with routine pressures and a sense of fatigue. They highlight that many people compete for fame and fight for attention, with some willing to tear each other down over criticism. For them, fame and wealth have only brought more stress and pain, along with the burden of feeling obligated to repay favors.

To cope, they find themselves numbing the pain and memories, erasing unimportant things, and sometimes neglecting personal relationships, as they are stretched thin by their lifestyle. They describe how dreams they once thought huge have become real achievements, as they’ve built success from humble beginnings to filling arenas. Reflecting on the journey from performing in public plazas to packed stadiums, they emphasize that this transformation wasn’t luck—it was a result of constant effort and persistence. Their goal now is to keep reaching even further, bringing their music to a global audience, showing the unending drive and ambition that defines their career.

[Puente]
In the bridge, the artists acknowledge that time has become a reliable guide through the struggles and hardships they’ve faced. They recognize the difficulty of finding value in their pain and confronting it honestly. This line captures the acceptance of emotional costs and the ongoing process of growth through these tough experiences.

[Estribillo]
In the chorus, they express the pain of long, sleepless nights filled with doubt as they wait for success. They describe dreaming of a lifestyle with luxury flights and hotels and the frustrations of constantly pushing forward, even when feeling like giving up. These lines reflect the reality that, for them, success is not glamorous—it’s a test of endurance and willpower, where every setback tempts them to quit. Recalling nights spent on plaza floors, they show how luck is never assured, and ambition alone has brought them this far.

[Outro]
The outro reflects on major milestones in their journey, like selling out Argentina’s Estadio Malvinas with an audience of 8,000 on November 11, 2017. They celebrate how, exactly a year later, YSY A released his first album, marking the beginning of his rise. This ending reinforces how much they’ve accomplished despite the hardships, sharing pride in their resilience and the passion that fuels their music career.
