La Tristecita

The Little Sadness

La Tristecita

Inside!¡Adentro!
Blood of the ceibo tree that turns into a flowerSangre del ceibal que se vuelve flor
I don't know why it hurts me today (I don't know why)Yo no sé por qué hoy me hiere mal (yo no sé por qué)
Your sign of love (I am a little sad)Tu señal de amor (tristecita soy)
I don't know why it hurts me todayYo no sé por qué hoy me hiere mal
Your sign of loveTu señal de amor

I want to hear Samba at duskSamba quiero oír al atardecer
Bud of light that wants to be the SunCapullo de luz que quiere ser Sol
And can't beY no puede ser
Bud of light that wants to be the SunCapullo de luz que quiere ser Sol
And can't beY no puede ser

Oh, little sadness, just a little sadness!¡Ay, tristecita, tristecita igual!
It's blue drizzle whispering (it's blue drizzle)Que es llovizna azul murmurándole (que es llovizna azul)
To the sugar cane field (I am a little sad)Al cañaveral (tristecita soy)
It's blue drizzle whisperingQue es llovizna azul murmurándole
To the sugar cane fieldAl cañaveral

Slowly!¡Lento!
The wind brings it, the Sun takes it awayEl viento la trae, se la lleva el Sol
Dream in the wheat field and over the willow grove (dream in the wheat field)Sueño en el trigal y sobre el sauzal (sueño en el trigal)
Lament of love (I am a little sad)Lamento de amor (tristecita soy)
Dream in the wheat field and over the willow groveSueño en el trigal y sobre el sauzal
Lament of loveLamento de amor

I already feel his voice coming from the hillYa siento llegar del cerro su voz
It must be a handkerchief and I will pin itPañuelo ha de ser y lo he de prender
Over my heartSobre el corazón
It must be a handkerchief and I will pin itPañuelo ha de ser y lo he de prender
Over my heartSobre el corazón

Oh, little sadness, just a little sadness!¡Ay, tristecita, tristecita igual!
It's blue drizzle whispering (it's blue drizzle)Que es llovizna azul murmurándole (que es llovizna azul)
To the sugar cane field (I am a little sad)Al cañaveral (tristecita soy)
It's blue drizzle whisperingQue es llovizna azul murmurándole
To the sugar cane fieldAl cañaveral
