Como se dice 'Heartbreak'?

Question

I'm doing an essay about the themes found in Frida Kahlo's paintings. I've given each chapter a title e.g. El Dolor, La Muerte etc.

One of the themes is heartbreak. How can I translate this noun? I've looked it up but no suggestions seem right, they suggest 'a bad affair' or just general sadness.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Do you think 'un corazon apenado' could work?

Thanks for all the help

Answer 2

What about? Mi corazón se ha destrozado y desgarrado en pedazos. My heart has been shattered and torn into pieces. or Crumpled like a piece of paper that can't be smoothed out. Trozo de papel arrugado no puede ser liso otra vez.

Answer 3

I've heard "broken heart / heartbreak" as "corazón roto." I've also heard the verb "romper" (not romber! haha) used often for this usage. ex "romper mi corazón" = "to break my heart".. "rompiste mi corazón" = "you broke my heart," etc.

Buenas suerte, your project sounds cool!

Also, the dictionary here has some different translation (that I've never heard much about before), but they might be useful.

Answer 4

Interesting question.

How about

Tengo el corazon apenado.

My heart is saddened=I'm heartbroken.
