Lyrics and translation Jaime Roos - Expreso Horizonte




Expreso Horizonte
Horizon Express
Por el andén desierto
On the deserted platform
De una pálida estación
Of a pallid station
Carraspeando entre los guantes
Coughing into our gloves
Impacientes frente al reloj
Impatient before the clock
Tantos años de vigilia
So many years of waiting
El pelo se deshiela
The hair thaws
Se levanta la niebla
The fog lifts
Ahí viene el sol
Here comes the sun
Piensa si vale la pena
She thinks if it's worth it
Sin dudarlo dice que
Without hesitation she says yes
Basta de cantinelas
Enough of the lullabies
El comienzo es hoy y aquí
The beginning is today and here
Van cayendo los pasajeros
The passengers are getting off
Su asiento reservado
Her seat is reserved
Su destino marcado
Her destination is marked
Ahí llega el tren
Here comes the train
El color de una valija
The color of a suitcase
El vacío que deja una tos
The emptiness that a cough leaves
Una mueca solitaria
A solitary grimace
Unas manos que dicen adiós
Some hands that say goodbye
Y ya se va
And now it's gone
Y ya se va
And now it's gone
El Expreso Horizonte
The Horizon Express
Rumbo al nuevo paisaje
Heading for a new landscape
Donde el cielo se vuelve mar
Where the sky turns into sea
Donde el paso es mas liviano
Where the step is lighter
Pues la ley es la libertad
Because the law is freedom
El Expreso Horizonte
The Horizon Express
Cargado de ilusiones
Loaded with dreams
Los lleva en sus vagones
Takes you on its carriages
Mas allá
Beyond
Volverán a correr
They will run again
Volverán a jugar
They will play again
Volverán a crecer
They will grow again
Al comienzo volverán
In the beginning they will return
Cantan los pasajeros
The passengers sing
"La estamos pasando bien"
"We're having a great time"
Siempre quiso abrir las alas
She always wanted to spread her wings
Siempre quiso volar en tren
She always wanted to fly on a train
Abre un paquete de cigarros
She opens a pack of cigarettes
"Quién guste que se sirva" dice
"Help yourself if you like," she says
"Quién me convida con un café"
"Who's offering me a coffee?"
No te asustes hijo mío
Don't be scared, my son
No te asustes mi niño, mi sol
Don't be scared, my boy, my sunshine
No te asustes hijo mío
Don't be scared, my son
Pedazo de mi corazón
Piece of my heart
El color de una valija
The color of a suitcase
El vacío que deja una tos
The emptiness that a cough leaves
Una mueca solitaria
A solitary grimace
Unas manos que dicen adiós
Some hands that say goodbye
Y ya se va
And now it's gone
Y ya se va
And now it's gone
El Expreso Horizonte
The Horizon Express
