Verse 1
Forgive me if I'm calling you at this moment
But I needed to hear again
Even if it's for a moment, your breath
Sorry, I know that I'm violating our oath
I know that you're with someone, that it's not the right time
But there's something urgent to tell you today
I'm dying, dying to see you
Suffering, very slowly and very intensely
Chorus 1
Life, give me back my fantasies
My desire to live life
Give me back my air
My darling, without you I feel empty
The afternoons are a labyrinth and
And the nights taste to me like pure pain
Only CT, man
Verse 2
I'd like to tell you that today I'm doing great
That I haven't been affected by your departure
But with one finger you can't cover the sun
I'm dying, dying to see you
Suffering, very slowly and very intensely
Chorus 2
Life, give me back my fantasies
My desire to live life
Give me back my air
My darling, without you I feel empty
The afternoons are a labyrinth
And the nights taste to me like pure pain
Life, give me back my fantasies
My desire to live life
Give me back my air

SONG MEANING

“A Puro Dolor” is a heartfelt confession of raw longing. In this Regional Mexican ballad, Gabito Ballesteros plays the role of someone who simply cannot let go. He breaks a promise not to call, just to hear his ex’s breathing for a fleeting second, because every moment apart feels like slow, painful agony. The singer lays bare his desperation: life has lost its sparkle, afternoons feel like mazes, and nights taste only of pain.

Beneath the pleading words, you’ll hear a tug-of-war between pride and vulnerability. Ballesteros admits he would love to say he is fine, but hiding the sun with one finger is impossible; the emptiness is too big to mask. He begs for his fantasies, his will to live, and even the very air he breathes to be returned. It’s a vivid portrayal of love’s aftershock—the kind that leaves you gasping, dialing a forbidden number, and confessing your heart in hopes that the one who left might still listen.
