Verse 1
I know there are things that I tell myself
That don't have to happen
They wake up from oblivion
They come back to make me cry
I would stay with you
One, two, three more nights
If I hadn't broken the thread
I wish I could go back
I don't blame you for my sorrow
I don't blame you for my pain
I will build you a castle
With your tears of salt
I was taking care of you like a child
Who doesn't know how to walk
Let me protect you
From what can happen
Or: From whatever may happen
Chorus 1
Give me peace and give me war
Give me breath, take care of me
Or: Give me strength, take care of me
Carnations in your hair
The tattoos on your skin
Today it oozes and oozes
Or: Today it festers and festers
What yesterday was tasting like honey
I curse my sanity
Little dove, take me away
Give me peace and give me war
Give me breath, take care of me
Or: Give me strength, take care of me
Carnations in your hair
The tattoos on your skin
Today it oozes and oozes
What yesterday was tasting like honey
I curse my sanity
Little dove, take me away
Bridge
I curse you, and your tears of salt
I curse you, you're not going to make me cry
I curse you
I curse you and your tears of salt
I curse you, you're not going to make me cry
I curse you
Outro
Because a child that isn't mine
Because (I should have never taken care of) a child that isn't mine
I never should have taken care
I never should have taken care
I never should have taken care
I never should have taken care

SONG MEANING

Nana Triste literally means Sad Lullaby, and that is the bittersweet mood Natalia Lacunza and Guitarricadelafuente pour into this delicate pop-folk gem. Instead of lulling someone to sleep, the song wakes up buried memories: the singer admits she would stay “una, dos, tres noches más” if the fragile thread between them had not snapped. Over a silky guitar, she watches old wounds reopen, tastes tears “de sal,” and wishes she could rewind time.

The track dances between affection and anger, showing the chaos of loving someone who needs more care than you can give. She once protected her partner “como un niño que no sabe caminar,” but now she curses that role, begging for both “paz” and “guerra” while vowing, “No me vas a hacer llorar.” The repeated line “Nunca lo debí cuidar” finally breaks the spell like a mantra of self-liberation. Nana Triste reminds us that love can feel like honey one day and poison the next, and sometimes the bravest lullaby is the one that sings you free.
