Te conseguí la luz del sol a medianoche 00:03
Y el número después del infinito 00:04
E instalé la Osa Mayor en tu diadema 00:06
Y tú seguías ahí como si nada. 00:08
Endulcé el agua del mar para tu sed, 00:10
Te alquilé un cuarto menguante de la luna, 00:12
Y como buen perdedor busqué en la cama, 00:14
Las cosas que el amor no resolvía. 00:16
Y cómo duele que estés tan lejos, 00:18
Durmiendo aquí en la misma cama; 00:20
Cómo duele tanta distancia, 00:21
Aunque te escucho respirar. 00:23
Y estás a cientos de kilómetros. 00:25
Y duele quererte tanto, 00:27
Fingir que todo está perfecto. 00:29
Mientras duele gastar la vida, 00:31
Tratando de localizar 00:33
Lo que hace tiempo se perdió. 00:35
Acabé con los jardines por tus flores, 00:37
Inventé la alquimia contra la utopía. 00:39
Y he llegado a confundir con la ternura, 00:41
La lástima con que a veces me miras. 00:43
Qué triste es asumir el sufrimiento, 00:45
Patético es creer que una mentira, 00:47
Convoque a los duendes del milagro, 00:49
Que te hagan despertar enamorada. 00:51
Cómo duele que estés tan lejos, 00:53
Durmiendo aquí en la misma cama. 00:55
Cómo duele tanta distancia, 00:57
Aunque te escucho respirar 00:59
Y estás a cientos de kilómetros. 01:01
Y duele quererte tanto. 01:03
Fingir que todo está perfecto. 01:04
Mientras duele gastar la vida. 01:06
Tratando de localizar 01:08
Lo que hace tiempo se perdió. 01:10
Por qué nos duele tanta distancia, 01:12
Fingir que todo está perfecto. 01:14
Mientras sientes que te duele, 01:16
Gastar la vida durmiendo aquí en la misma cama. 01:18
Cómo duele. 01:21

Lyrics & Translation

Discover the raw emotion in Ricardo Arjona's Spanish hit, “Como Duele.” This powerful Latin pop ballad, which translates to “How It Hurts,” is special for its vivid depiction of emotional decay in long-term love. Listening closely to the lyrics, which explore themes of distance despite physical proximity, can offer insight into complex relationship dynamics expressed through rich, emotive Spanish, making it a great piece for feeling and understanding nuanced romantic vocabulary.

[English]
I got you sunlight at midnight
And the number that comes after infinity
And I placed the Big Dipper on your headband
And you stayed there as if nothing was wrong.
I sweetened the sea water for your thirst,
I rented you a waning‑moon quarter,
And like a good loser I searched in the bed,
For the things love could not solve.
And it hurts that you’re so far away,
Sleeping here in the same bed;
It hurts, this great distance,
Even though I can hear you breathe.
And you’re hundreds of kilometers away.
It hurts to love you so much,
Pretending everything is perfect.
While it hurts to waste our lives,
Trying to locate
What was lost a long time ago.
I finished the gardens for your flowers,
I invented alchemy against utopia.
And I’ve come to confuse tenderness,
With the pity in the way you sometimes look at me.
How sad it is to accept the suffering,
Pathetic to believe that a lie,
Summons the miracle sprites,
To make you wake up in love.
How it hurts that you’re so far away,
Sleeping here in the same bed.
It hurts, this great distance,
Even though I can hear you breathe.
And you’re hundreds of kilometers away.
It hurts to love you so much.
Pretending everything is perfect.
While it hurts to waste our lives.
Trying to locate
What was lost a long time ago.
Why does such distance hurt us so much,
Pretending everything is perfect.
While you feel the pain,
Wasting life sleeping here in the same bed.
How it hurts.
