	TRISTEZA SORROW
lyrics	Es come ver una fiesta desde afuera Y desde la reja ver risas ajenas O como pasar delante de un café Cuando tienes hambre y tienes sed Es como buscar en la vereda El cariño tuyo del que nada queda O el último pucho que fumás Antes de una noche más Y es esa tristeza Que comparte hoy mi mesa Y es esa tristeza Cual una maleza Es como cuando ves después de tres años El qué fue tu hermano y ahora es un extraño O como aquel día en que me acostumbré A despertar sin que a mi lado estés Es como aquel eco de campana Que huele a mi infancia lejana Que ya ni sé si fue mi niñez Y si son sueños que nacen después Y es esa tristeza Que comparte hoy mi mesa Es esa tristeza Que conoce hoy su presa Tristeza, como playa sin mar Como la madre que llora cansada de rezar Maleza, que quema sin tocar La lengua queda muda antes de poder gritar... Es como cada cosa que deja un nudo En la garganta y estás como mudo Como esa lágrima que ya ni sé De qué pena viene ni por quién es Es triste como este tango que llora Y afuera la lluvia que te añora Quizás lluvia y tango van a poder Mi tristeza embellecer Y es esa tristeza Que comparte hoy mi mesa Y es esa tristeza Cual una maleza Es esa tristeza Que conoce hoy su presa Tristeza como playa sin mar Como la madre que llora cansada de rezar Maleza que quema sin tocar La lengua queda muda antes de poder gritar ...
english translation (pianosantamaria.com)	It's like watching a party from outside And from the doorstep seeing another's laughing Or like passing by a café When you're thirsty and hungry It's like searching on the footpath This love of yours that is empty Or the last cigarette you smoke Before another night And it's that sorrow Sharing the table with me today And it's that sorrow Like a weed It's like when you see after three years The one who was your brother is now a stranger Like this day in which I got used To wake up without you by my side It's like that echo of the gong That smells like my distant youth Of which I don't know now if it was my childhood Or if they are dreams that came later And it's that sorrow Sharing the table with me today It's that sorrow That knows who is its prisoner today Sorrow, like a beach without a sea Like the mother who cries tired of praying A weed that burns without touching The tongue turns mute before it can shout It's like everything that causes a knot In your throat and you seem to be mute Like this tear that I don't know of For which grief it is coming nor for whom it is It's sad like this weeping tango And outside the rain that longs for you Maybe rain and tango would Beautify my sorrow And it's that sorrow Sharing the table with me today And it's that sorrow Like a weed It's that sorrow That knows who is its prisoner today Sorrow, like a beach without a sea Like the mother who cries tired of praying A weed that burns without touching The tongue turns mute before it can shout
annotations	This song is in a mix of styles, tango and salsa for example. Where Sebastián sings 'este tango' (this tango) he is talking about the very song Tristeza, or at least about this part of the song. These particular verses about tango are sung with a clear Argentinean accent - as 'Beautify my sorrow' - this sounds a bit strange in Spanish, too. No one talks about beautifying his sorrow there either. But it is still a very interesting and apt phrase - as/dg
