i've got the blues estou (sinto-me) triste, abatido, deprimido

Explanation:
Evitaria a última expressão, já que a depressão é uma verdadeira patologia e não um estado de espírito. Em PT(pt), diria estou neura, mas parece-me que a expressão não é usada em PT(br)...

i've got the blues estou com uma neura

Explanation:
According to the Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary "to have got the blues" means "feeling sad and depressed". So, the term "neura" is a good option because it means "beig sad, melancholic, downcast".
