Lyrics

Como un perro apaleado lucha por llegar
esta pintado
negro de carbón y negro de desengaños
el viejo tren
mezcla de dolor y fuego ruge en la estación
con su silbato
negro de carbón y negro de desengaños
el viejo tren
le ven pasar
los ojos de mil ventanas
y unas mejillas tempranas
dejarán en el cristal el aliento
jugando con el silencio
jugando con el lamento
del tren que ya llegó a la estación.
le ven pasar
cargado de amaneceres
cargado de menesteres
que guardaran en un vagón
ya llegó el último viaje para el viejo tren
y abandonado
duerme su vejez y llora sus desengaños
en un anden
le ven llorar
los ojos de mil ventanas
y unas mejillas tempranas
dejaran en el cristal el aliento
jugando con el silencio
jugando con el lamento del tren
que ya murió en un andén
que ya murió en un andén.

Lyrics translation

Like a beaten dog fights to get
it's painted
carbon black and disillusionment black
the old train
mix of pain and Fire roars at the station
with his whistle
carbon black and disillusionment black
the old train
they see him pass by
the eyes of a thousand windows
and some early cheeks
they'll leave their breath in the glass
playing with silence
playing with the lament
from the train that has already arrived at the station.
they see him pass by
charged with dawns
loaded with necessities
to be kept in a wagon
the last trip for the old train has arrived
and abandoned
he sleeps his old age and weeps his disillusionment
on an anden
you see him crying
the eyes of a thousand windows
and some early cheeks
they'll leave their breath in the glass
playing with silence
playing with the lament of the train
who already died on a platform
he already died on a platform.
