How sad it was that we said goodbye
When we adored each other the most
Even the swallow migrated
Foretelling the end
How sad everything looks without you
The seas of the beaches withdraw
The colors turn gray
Today everything is loneliness
I don't know if I'll see you again afterward
I don't know what will become of my life
Without the blue star of your being
That no longer lights me
Today I want to savor my pain
I don't ask for compassion or mercy
The story of this love was written
For eternity
How sad everybody says that I'm
That I'm always talking about you
They don't know that thinking about your love, about your love
I've been able to help myself live
I've been able to help myself live
Today I want to savor my pain
I don't ask for compassion or mercy
The story of this love was written
For eternity
How sad everybody says that I'm
That I'm always talking about you
They don't know that thinking about your love, about your love
I've been able to help myself live
I've been able to help myself live
I've been able to help myself live

SONG MEANING

El Triste paints the scene of a love that ended just when it felt most alive. With vivid images — swallows flying away, gray–washed beaches, and a sky left without its guiding star — Kevin Kaarl (a rising Mexican singer–songwriter) captures the shock of an unexpected goodbye. The narrator wanders through a colorless world, openly admitting “qué triste todos dicen que soy” while insisting he needs no pity; instead, he chooses to “taste” his own pain like a bittersweet remedy.

Yet beneath the melancholy lies a quiet resilience. By constantly thinking about the love that once was, the singer discovers a lifeline that keeps him going. Heartbreak becomes both wound and medicine, proving that even the saddest ballads can hold a spark of hope. Dive into this song to feel how tender Spanish lyrics turn sorrow into survival, and let Kevin Kaarl’s emotive voice guide you through the delicate dance between loss and healing.
