Lyrics

Español

Corre el tren que va a encontrarte, Pero más el ansia mía, Con qué beso ha de besarte mi emoción, Con qué cariño apretaré tu corazón. Corre el tren que va a encontrarte Pero más el ansia mía, Y en la dulce ensoñación, de la ilusión, Tu amor me viene a acariciar. Qué lento corre el tren Qué ganas de llegar, Y las horas van pasando Y la ansiedad, De ver las cosas del ayer Hace vibrar todo mi ser. Qué lento corre el tren Más corre mi ansiedad, Qué cosas me dirás, Qué cosas te diré, Qué lento corre el tren Qué ganas de llegar.

English · machine translation

Run the train that will find you, But more so my longing, With what kiss my emotion will kiss you, With what affection I will squeeze your heart. Run the train that will find you But more my longing, And in the sweet reverie, of illusion, Your love comes to caress me. How slowly the train runs How eager to arrive, And the hours go by And the anxiety, To see the things of yesterday Makes my whole being vibrate. How slowly the train runs The more my anxiety runs, What things will you tell me, What things I'll tell you, How slowly the train runs What a longing to arrive.
