Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Triste by Julieta Venegas from Spanish to English.
Que triste fue decirnos adios
How sad it was to say goodbye
cuando nos adorabamos mas
when we adored each other more
hasta la golondrina emigro
even the swallow emigrated
presageando el final
foreshadowing the end
Que triste luce todo sin ti
How sad everything looks without you
los mares las playas se van
the seas, the beaches are leaving
se tiñen los colores de gris
the colors are dyed in gray
hoy todo es soledad
today everything is loneliness
No se, si vuelva a verte después
I don't know if I'll see you again
no se que, de mi vida sera
I don't know what will happen to my life
sin el cero azul de tu ser
without the blue zero of your being
que no me alumbra ya
that no longer lights me up
Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor
Today I want to savor my pain
no pido compasion ni piedad
I don't ask for compassion or mercy
la historia de este amor
the story of this love
se escribio para la eternidad
was written for eternity
Que triste todos dicen que estoy
How sad they all say I am
que siempre estoy hablando de ti
that I'm always talking about you
no saben que pensando en tu amor
they don't know that thinking about your love
en tu amor he podido ayudarme a vivir
your love has helped me to live
Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor
Today I want to savor my pain
no pido compasion ni piedad
I don't ask for compassion or mercy
la historia de este amor
the story of this love
se escrbio para la eternidad
was written for eternity
Que triste dicen que estoy
They say I'm sad
que siempre estoy hablando de ti
that I'm always talking about you
no saben que pensando en tu amor
they don't know that thinking about your love
en tu amor, he podido ayudarme a vivir
your love has helped me to live
he podido ayudarme a vivir
has helped me to live
