"La tristesse durera" means: sadness will last. Vincent Van Goch famously said to his brother Theo: "La tristesse durera toujours" -- "sadness will last forever."
La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh) was released by the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers in 1992 and was the second single to be released from the Gold Against the Soul album.
A rough translation of the song's title is the sadness goes on, echoed in the line "The sadness will never go/Will never go away/Baby, it's here to stay". It was taken from a book about Vincent van Gogh. Vincent was found injured in bed on July 27, 1890 after he had attempted suicide. His brother Theo tried to persuade him that everything would be alright and Vincent answered "La tristesse durera toujours." He died the following day. The song tells of how society in general treats war veterans with little concern on a day to day basis and how they're lauded once a year for one day.
