Lyrics
Cuántas ilusiones lleva a la ciudad
Ese tren tan viejo que no puede andar
Solo tres vagones hasta rebosar
Uno de los ricos, con otros dos más
Cestas con gallinas y trozos de pan
Todos a la feria, feria de San Juan
Viaja un cura gordo y un guardia civil
Hay un túnel largo que no tiene fin
Una brava moza quiere prosperar
Buscará trabajo en la gran ciudad
Lyrics translation
How many illusions it brings to the city
That train so old it can't walk
Only three cars to overflowing
One of the rich, with two more
Baskets with chickens and pieces of bread
All to the Fair, Fair of San Juan
Traveling a fat priest and a Civil Guard
There is a long tunnel that has no end
A good girl wants to prosper
You'll be looking for a job in the big city
