Triste Lyrics in English Manuel Turizo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Manuel Turizo / Triste

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Triste by Manuel Turizo from Spanish to English.

Even though it's dawning, everything went dark

Because I was reading what you told me

I gave you so much and you didn't see it

Far from you, as if you were toxic

You always dry even though it was raining outside

If it were up to me, I'd still be there

If it were up to you, you'd stay your whole life

But you were always sad

Your eyes were red and it wasn't because you lit up

So many promises and you never kept them

You don't know what you got me into, yeah

Far from you, as if you were toxic

You always dry even though it was raining outside

If it were up to me, I'd still be there

If it were up to you, you'd stay your whole life

But I was always sad

If you don't repent, you'll regret it

If you don't remember, you'll remember it

What you gave, you'll receive

What I gave, now, who will give it to me?

I tried to fix what was broken

Being together wasn't for us

It's just that I don't lie, I'm not wrong

You didn't want to and now I don't either

That's why I left, you threw me to the ground and I picked myself up

And now I want you far from here

You didn't teach me, but I learned

I realized, it's better like this

Better that you stay without me

Better that I stay without you

Far from you, as if you were toxic

You always dry even though it was raining outside

If it were up to me, I'd still be there

If it were up to you, you'd stay your whole life

But you were always sad

Your eyes were red and it wasn't because you lit up

So many promises and you never kept them

You don't know what you got me into

But you were always sad

nociva — harmful / toxic

Nociva is the feminine form of nocivo, meaning something (or someone) that is harmful, damaging or toxic.

Manuel Turizo sings "Lejos de ti, como si fueras nociva" to portray his lover as a negative influence he must escape from. It’s a vivid, less-common adjective that packs emotional punch and will stick in learners’ minds.

“Triste” dives into the emotional aftershocks of a love that looked promising but turned out to be draining.

Manuel Turizo narrates the moment a sunny morning suddenly feels dark when he reads one last hurtful message. He recalls how he poured his heart into the relationship while his partner stayed distant — “tú siempre seca aunque afuera llovía” — and how her constant sadness, broken promises and negativity became toxic. The song moves from regret to revelation: he tried to fix what was broken, but realizes that walking away is healthier. By the end, Turizo transforms pain into self-empowerment, declaring it’s better for both to stay apart. “Triste” is therefore a bittersweet anthem about recognizing when love turns harmful, finding the courage to leave and learning to value oneself again.
