Tristeza
Juan Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoy te encuentro triste,
basta ver tu rostro,
no sé qué te pasa,
pero te lo noto.
Qué es lo que te pasa,
tu no me lo dices,
quién soy “pa” entenderlo.
Algo no te gusta,
quién podrá ayudarte
y hasta te resignas,
como cualquier madre.
Tu esfuerzo no puede,
matar los rencores,
que tienen los hombres,
en sus corazones.
NO SÉ SÍ SERÁN MIS OJOS,
NO PUEDO EXPLICARLO Y SIENTO,
TU ALEGRÍA ES MI ALEGRÍA,
TU MANDA EN MIS SENTIMIENTOS
Y HOY TU TRISTEZA ES LA MIA.
The lyrics of Juan Manuel's song "Tristeza" express concern for a loved one who appears sad and distant. The singer notes that despite his/her attempts to understand and help, the other person remains closed off and resigned to their sadness. The song suggests that there may be hidden resentments or struggles weighing on the other person's heart, which cannot be easily overcome through well-intentioned effort alone. Ultimately, the singer declares that he/she shares in the other person's sadness, feeling connected and overwhelmed by their emotions.
The first verse establishes the mood of the song, as the singer observes the sadness of the other person and admits to feeling confused about how to approach them. The second verse continues this theme, as the singer tries to offer support and empathy, but finds that the other person is unwilling or unable to share their troubles. The chorus provides a sense of shared emotion and connection, as the singer declares that the other person's sadness has become his/her own.
Overall, "Tristeza" is a poignant and melancholic song that speaks to the complexity of human emotions and the difficulties of understanding and supporting others in times of sadness.
