El es un poema que el poeta nunca escribió
En la eternidad los dos
Unieron sus almas
Para darle vida
A esta triste canción de amor
A esta triste canción de amor
Ella es como la luna
Y en las noches de luna llena
Hacen el amor
Y en la inmensidad los dos
Unieron sus almas
Para darle vida
A esta triste canción de amor
A esta triste canción de amor
El es como un dios
Ella es como una virgen
Y los dioses les enseñaron a pecar
Y en la eternidad los dos
Unieron sus almas
Para darle vida
A esta triste canción de amor
A esta triste canción de amor
The Paperboys's song Triste Cancion is a hauntingly beautiful reflection on love, loss, and the fleeting nature of our dreams. The lyrics describe two beings who exist only in each other's imagination, coming together in a dreamlike reality to create a sad song of love. The first verse sets the tone, introducing the female protagonist as existing only in a dream, a figment of the male character's poetic imagination. In the second verse, the language shifts to metaphor as the two are compared to the moon and the sea, coming together in a romantic union that can only exist in the vastness of space. The final verse feels the most poignant and somehow the most dramatic, emphasizing the idea of forbidden love as the couple is likened to a deity and a virgin, taught to sin by their gods. Ultimately, these two lovers share an ephemeral connection that exists only in their dreams, united by their desire to create something beautiful, even if it is tinged with sadness.
