These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
La lluvia y el viento eran dos hermanos
The rain and the wind were two brothers
Corriendo furiosos por el terraplén
Running furiously down the embankment
Y en un banco oscuro mojado y mugriento
And on a dark wet and grimy bench
Él se acomodaba su uniforme gris
He adjusted his gray uniform
El viejo Matías duerme en cualquier parte
Old Matías sleeps anywhere
Un fantasma errante le toca la piel
A wandering ghost touches your skin
Pero cuando llueve sus despojos buscan
But when it rains the spoils of him seek
La estación de chapas de Paso del Rey
The Paso del Rey plate station
Es cuco de niños y de no tan niños
He is cuckoo of children and not so children
Su figura triste cruzando el andén
The sad figure of him crossing the platform
Porque nadie ha visto sus ojos cansados
Because no one has seen his tired eyes
La cruz del olvido temblando en sus pies
The cross of oblivion trembling at his feet
A veces murmura cosas incoherentes
Sometimes he mutters incoherent things
Habla de la guerra, imita el cañón
Talk about war, imitate the cannon
Y otras veces pone en sus ojos un niño
And other times a child looks into his eyes
Y acuna en sus brazos su bolso marrón
And he cradles her brown bag in his arms.
Cuando llegan trenes repletos de obreros
When trains full of workers arrive
Se pone contento, brilla su mirar
He becomes happy, his eyes shine
Gorrión de la tarde quiere hablar con todos
Evening sparrow he wants to talk to everyone
Y después se queda solo en el andén
And then he is left alone on the platform
Se queda mirando las vías vacías
He stares at the empty roads
La luz que se pierde, el tren que pasó
The light that is lost, the train that passed
Y después se aleja murmurando cosas
And then he walks away muttering things
El viejo Matías ogro del lugar
The old Matías ogre of the place
