Duele Menos

Kany García's 'Duele Menos' is a poignant ballad that delves into the complex emotions associated with ending a relationship and the subsequent process of moving on. The song's title, which translates to 'It Hurts Less,' is a nuanced statement that reflects the singer's journey through pain and healing. García's lyrics are a candid confession that, despite being the one to end the relationship, the hurt she experiences is still profound.

The song begins with a declaration of self-worth, as the artist makes it clear that she does not regret her decision to leave, acknowledging that she deserves more than what was given to her in the relationship. This sets the tone for a narrative of empowerment and self-respect. However, the chorus reveals a more vulnerable side, where García admits to moments of weakness when memories resurface, causing her to cry and suffer. The acknowledgment that she was once happy with her partner's kisses adds a layer of nostalgia and sorrow to the song.

The bridge of 'Duele Menos' further explores the theme of memory and the difficulty of moving on. García sings about the challenge of forgetting and removing her former lover from her thoughts. The repeated line 'No pienses que porque fui yo, me duele menos' ('Don't think that because it was me, it hurts less') emphasizes that the initiator of a breakup is not immune to pain. The song resonates with anyone who has had to make the tough decision to leave a relationship for their own well-being, yet still grapples with the emotional aftermath.
