Como un perro apaleado lucha por llegar
Like a beaten dog he fights to get there
Está pintado
It's painted
Negro de carbón y negro de desengaños
Black of carbon and black of disappointments
El viejo tren
the old train
Mezcla de dolor y fuego ruge en la estación
Mixture of pain and fire roars in the station
Con su silbato negro de carbón y negro de desengaños
With his whistle black of coal and black of disappointments
El viejo tren
the old train
Le veo pasar
I see him pass
Los ojos de mil ventanas
The eyes of a thousand windows
Y unas mejillas tempranas dejarán
And some early cheeks will leave
En el cristal el aliento
In the glass the breath
Jugando con el silencio
playing with silence
Jugando con el lamento del tren
Playing with the wail of the train
Que ya llegó a la estación
that already arrived at the station
Le ven pasar
they see him pass
Cargado de amaneceres
Loaded with sunrises
Cargado de menesteres
Loaded with necessities
Que guardará en un vagón
that will keep in a wagon
Ya llegó el último viaje para el viejo tren
The last trip for the old train has arrived
Y abandonado
and abandoned
Duerme su vejez y llora sus desengaños
He sleeps his old age and cries his disappointments
En un andén
on a platform
Le ven llorar
they see him cry
Los ojos de mil ventanas
The eyes of a thousand windows
Y unas mejillas tempranas dejarán
And some early cheeks will leave
En el cristal el aliento
In the glass the breath
Jugando con el silencio
playing with silence
Jugando con el lamento del tren
Playing with the wail of the train
Que ya murió
that already died
En un andén
on a platform
