La Tristecita
Atahualpa Yupanqui
The Little Sadness
Like a sunset
That fades without the sun
Just like the goodbye
Of someone who won't return
I'm feeling so sad
Like that crying
From the box to the tune
Just like me
I lament and sing
I'm feeling so sad
Like a cross flower
I give my sorrow
A nest without warmth
A little house without light
I'm feeling so sad
I sang of a love
That once lived
And my song was
A happy little tune
Just like that love
In the end, my dear
Loved and forgot
That's how life is
Joy yesterday
And sadness today
For being loyal and true
I'm crying today
Just like that goodbye
Of someone who won't return
I'm feeling so sad
