Sad song :(

Post Reply New Topic

I immediately thought of Elton John's 'Sad Songs Say So Much' on reading this thread. A Wikipedia listing describes the story behind 'Sad Songs Say So Much.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Songs_ ... So_Much%29

Nadie comprende lo que sufro yo [No one knows the pain I suffer]
Tanto que ya no puedo sollozar [So great I cannot even sob]
(alt. lyric- Canto pues ya no puedo sollozar, [Singing as now I can't weep])
Solo temblando de ansiedad estoy [Alone and trembling with desire]
Todos me miran y se van [One look at me and they turn away]
<><><><><><><><><><><>
Mujer, si puedes tú con Dios hablar [Woman, if you can have a word with God]
Pregúntale si yo alguna vez [Ask Him if I have ever once]
Te he dejado de adorar [Ceased loving you]
Y al mar, espejo de mi corazón [And the sea, mirror of my heart]
Las veces que me ha visto llorar [Those times it saw me shed tears at]
La perfidia de tu amor [The perfidy of your love]
Te he buscado por dondequiera que yo voy [I search for you wherever I go]
Y no te puedo hallar [But cannot find you]
Para qué quiero tus besos [What good can come of longing for your kisses]
Si tus labios no me quieren ya besar? [If your lips will not bestow them upon me?]
[alt. lyric- Para qué quiero otros lábios (of what comes from wanting others' lips)
Si tu boca no me quieren ya besar. (If your mouth I don't already want to kiss.)]

Y tú quién sabe por dónde andarás [And you, who know where you are heading]
Quién sabe qué aventura tendrás [Who know what adventures await]
Qué lejos estás de mí [How far away you are from me]

I know all there is to know about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses, then there are sighs
And then, before you know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye

Someday soon I'm gonna tell the moon
About the crying game
And if he knows, maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches, why there are tears
And what to do to stop feeling blue
When love disappears

I know all there is to know about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses, then there are sighs
And then, before you know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye

Don't want no more of the crying game.

Song should be very relateable to people here especially those with Theory of Mind issues

to quote Robin Gibb [RIP]- "The idea for the song came when I was sitting on a plane over Germany, and I heard a melody in the droning of the engine. As soon as I got on the ground that night I completed the song with Barry and Maurice. To me, that was a very spiritual song, about faith and survival in life. It wasn't a love song, it was one of the first songs we wrote about struggling to survive emotionally alone in the world."
