Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from Venezuela)
“Pá Caracas” dice el tren cuando viene de Los Teques.
“Pá Caracas” dice el tren cuando viene de Los Teques.
Pá Caracas, pá Caracas siempre llenito de gente
Pasa a veces por un túnel y otras veces por un puente.
Slower
Cuando pasa por el túnel siempre va muy lentamente.
Cuando pasa por el túnel siempre va muy lentamente.
Con cuidado, despacito, para no asustar la gente.
Despacito, despacito para no asustar la gente.
Faster
Y cuando pasa por el puente ya comienza a acelerar.
Y cuando pasa por el puente ya comienza a acelerar.
Corre, corre, corre, corre, ya a Caracas va a llegar.
Corre, corre, corre, corre, ya a Caracas va a llegar.
English Translation - The Train
“To Caracas” says the train when it comes from Los Teques.
“To Caracas” says the train when it comes from Los Teques.
Dad Caracas, to Caracas always full of people
Sometimes it passes through a tunnel and other times over a bridge.
Slower
When it goes through the tunnel it always goes very slowly.
When it goes through the tunnel it always goes very slowly.
Carefully, slowly, so as not to scare people.
Slowly, slowly so as not to scare people.
Faster
And when it passes over the bridge it already begins to accelerate.
And when it passes over the bridge it already begins to accelerate.
Run, run, run, run, it will arrive in Caracas.
Run, run, run, run, it will arrive in Caracas.
