Crecer es un "oficio" triste

Question

Doesn't "oficio" mean "trade" (as in trade, job, profession) so it would be "Growing is a professional sad?" OR Growing is a sad job?

Answer 1

This is poetry, the essence is "growing up is a sad job".

Yes, although I like the way "trade" sounds: "Growing up is a sad trade". :-) - Gekkosan, Feb 7, 2011
