que triste pena

This one was born immediately and with no editing on a car drive as I was grieving over an emotional break with my sister. It was the first original song I ever wrote in Spanish. Things have since healed with my sister, but this was the prayer, the lament, that expressed my sorrow after visiting her. I pulled over at a restaurant off the highway and recorded the whole song on my phone, then sent it to James. By the time I got home, he had the music ready for me and we played it once together, looked at each other, and said… “whoa…” -- Anna

Qué triste pena
que no me dejes entrar
Siempre te he querido
y lo niegas, mi amor

Que sueños más tristes
tengo sobre ti
Que sueños más alegres
si creyeras en mí

Te digo te digo te digo
Que te quiero te quiero te quiero
Lo niegas, niegas, niegas
Y me dijiste que me fuera

Qué triste pena
que no ves mi amor
Te digo millón de veces
pero niegas mi candor
