Tren De La Vida Lyrics in English by La Femme
Andén translates to "train platform". While it might seem simple, it's a key word in this song that uses the metaphor of a "train of life" to explore themes of existence, loss, and destiny.
In the lyrics, the singer mentions, "Un buen día me dejará en el andén" (One good day it will leave me on the platform). This imagery evokes a sense of being left behind or reaching a final destination, making it a poignant and central element to understanding the song's deeper meaning about life's journey.
La Femme built this one around a single image: life as a train that never asks whether you want to ride it. "El tren de la vida se ha ido" (the train of life has left) opens the song, and from there the singer just keeps riding, guitar in hand, watching other passengers get on and off.
The loss at the center is a person, not a metaphor. "No pedí, no pedí nada" (I didn't ask, I didn't ask for anything) is the singer refusing the grief, then admitting it anyway a few lines later, saying the person never really left their mind. The song doesn't resolve that tension. It just keeps moving, the way a train does, toward the stop where everyone eventually has to say goodbye.
