Como Me Duele (remix) (feat. Aldo Ranks)
La Factoria
Heartache and Longing in 'Como Me Duele'
The song 'Como Me Duele' by La Factoria delves deep into the themes of heartbreak and unrequited love, expressed through poignant lyrics and a melancholic melody. The title itself, which translates to 'How It Hurts,' sets the tone for a narrative of emotional pain and longing after a breakup. The singer recounts the struggle of trying to move on from a past lover, highlighting the difficulty of erasing someone from one's heart and mind.
Throughout the song, the repetition of phrases such as 'y llore y llore' (and I cried and cried) and 'y sufri y sufri' (and I suffered and suffered) emphasizes the depth of the singer's grief. These lines not only convey the intensity of her feelings but also the relentless nature of her sorrow, which haunts her day and night. The imagery of looking at old photos and reading past letters serves as a trigger for these overwhelming emotions, making the process of healing even more challenging.
The chorus, 'Ay como me duele, ay como me duele el corazon porque aun te amo' (Oh how it hurts, oh how my heart hurts because I still love you), captures the essence of the song—love that persists despite separation. This enduring love is both a source of deep pain and a testament to the genuine feelings she once shared with her partner. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the agony of loving someone who is no longer part of their life, making it a powerful expression of human vulnerability and emotional resilience.
