Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tres Tristes Tigres by Mägo de Oz from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
La tristeza es siempre
sadness is always
Como una esponja
like a sponge
Absorbe el agua de la vida
Absorb the water of life
Hasta hacerla morir
until she dies
Y estrangularlo a un tiempo
And strangle him at the same time
Es llenar el mar de piedras
It's filling the sea with stones
E intentarlo cruzar
and try to cross it
Cuando veas que no puedes soportar
When you see that you can't stand
El vacío de la soledad
The emptiness of loneliness
Si la fuerza sólo en tu saliva está
If the strength is only in your saliva
Aprende a actuar
Learn to act
Cuando sientas la necesidad
When you feel the need
No es bueno sólo dar de ti
It's not good just to give of yourself
La parte amable y 'que todo va bien'
The nice and 'everything is fine' part
Aprende a llorar
Learn to cry
Aprende a llorar
Learn to cry
Las marcas que deja la vida
The marks that life leaves
En la cara se ven
In the face they look
Las huellas que deja el amor
The traces that love leaves
En el corazón se leen
In the heart they read
Las marcas que deja la vida
The marks that life leaves
En la cara se ven
In the face they look
Las huellas que deja el amor
The traces that love leaves
En el corazón se leen
In the heart they read
Aprende a ver y a leer
Learn to see and read
