Formally that would be:
- Que mal por ti.
- Que pena por ti.
- Eso apesta para ti.
But to be honest here in Colombia nobody says that, "que paila" works in that situation and it's more casual and informal. Here's an example:
- No he podido comer en todo el día porque he estado muy ocupado.
- Uff, que paila, parce...

creo que en Colombia en ese contexto diríamos
" de malas/suerte/pailas" eso es lo que yo diría en esa situación, " que mal por ti, eso apesta para ti...etc" en este contexto en realidad me suena muy literal del inglés y dudo mucho de que en lenguaje diario alguien lo diga , quizas en las películas pero no en la vida real.
