Home / Lyrics Translation / Los Angeles Azules / La Cumbia Triste

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Cumbia Triste by Los Angeles Azules from Spanish to English.

For those who don't sleep

Because their soul hurts

For those who don't dream since that love that stole their peace

For those who still wait

For those who still miss

For those who are still hurt by the memory of that caress

For those who worship

That love that has gone

And dance slowly, always chained to what they've suffered

This is the sad cumbia

The one that hugs you

The one that does understand what's happening to you

It's for you, the sad cumbia

This is the sad cumbia

That always plays

When pain fills you with sorrow

It's for you, the sad cumbia

Los Ángeles

Azules

Hit it!

For those who reject

To fall in love again

Because last time the wound was so cruel and it couldn't close

For those who make fun

Of lovers

Since they have no doubt that that feeling will end up buried

For those of us who toast

For everything we've lived

For those of us who know that what we've suffered hasn't been in vain

This is the sad cumbia

The one that hugs you

The one that does understand what's happening to you

It's for you, the sad cumbia

This is the sad cumbia

That always plays

When pain fills you with sorrow

It's for you, the sad cumbia

From Iztapalapa

To the world

Ángeles Azules

And Alejandro Fernández

It's the sad cumbia

The one that misses you

This is the sad cumbia

The one that hugs you

The one that does understand what's happening to you

It's for you, the sad cumbia

This is the sad cumbia

That always plays

When pain fills you with sorrow

It's for you, the sad cumbia

SONG MEANING

Picture a dimly lit dance floor somewhere in Mexico City, the lights reflecting off tears as much as they do sequins. “La Cumbia Triste” is the soundtrack for everyone carrying a broken heart in their chest pocket. Los Ángeles Azules, joined by the velvety voice of Alejandro Fernández, turn sorrow into rhythm, inviting listeners to sway gently while nursing old wounds. The lyrics call out to insomniacs, nostalgic dreamers and anyone who still feels the sting of a vanished romance. Instead of telling you to move on, the song wraps around you like a comforting shawl, saying: it’s okay to feel this way; let’s hurt together, then dance anyway.

Musically upbeat yet emotionally heavy, the track celebrates each scar as proof of having loved deeply. It’s a communal toast to nights spent awake, memories that still burn and the decision to keep dancing even when hope feels out of reach. In other words, “La Cumbia Triste” is a bittersweet invitation: step onto the floor, let the rhythm guide your sadness and discover that shared melancholy can be strangely uplifting.
