Here Comes the Train

Ahi Viene El Tren

Here comes the train, here comes the trainAhí viene el tren, ahí viene el tren
here comes the train, with the soldiers that Villa brings;ahí viene el tren, con los soldados que trae Villa;
from here they can be seen, from here they can be seende aquí se ven, de aquí se ven
that in the wagons they sit or crouch.que en los vagones van sentados o en cuclillas.

Here comes the train, here comes the train,Ahí viene el tren, ahí viene el tren,
the federals on this side are waiting for them.los federales de este lado los esperan.
In a while the shooting will start,Dentro de un rato empezará la balacera,
look at the soldadera who is agitated there on the train.mira ya a la soldadera que se agita allá en el tren.

The baldies have already ambushedYa los pelones se emboscaron
and I even think they hit himy hasta creo que le sacaron
because here it comes, here it comes,porque ahí viene, ahí viene,
here it comes, here it comes the train.ahí viene, ahí viene el tren.

Here comes the train, here comes the train,Ahí viene el tren, ahí viene el tren,
the one who is a soldier always pulls his rib;el que es soldado siempre jala su costilla;
and there where they see, and there where they seey ahí donde ven, y ahí donde ven
the officers also have their little game.los oficiales también traen su movidilla.
Here comes the train, here comes the train,Ahí viene el tren, ahí viene el tren,
through the smoke I already saw Pancho Villa,entre el humito devisé ya a Pancho Villa,
he wears a bandana, his hat and a really fierce look,trae paliacate, su sombrero y un semblante rete fiero,
what downpour mustaches he has!¡qué bigotes de aguacero se le ven!

Tremble, baldies,Tiemblen, pelones,
now you will have cemeteriesque 'ora sí tendrán panteones
because here it comes, here it comes,por que ahí viene, ahí viene,
here it comes, here it comes, here it comes the train.ahí viene, ahí viene, ahí viene el tren.

Here comes the train, here comes the train,Ahí viene el tren, ahí viene el tren,
the baldies are already close to a mile,de los pelones ya está cerca de una milla,
they are no longer seen, they are no longer seen,ya no se ven, ya no se ven,
I think they went to pray to Villa.creo que se jueron a rezar hasta la Villa.

Here comes the train, here comes the train,Ahí viene el tren, ahí viene el tren,
the engineer has already started to brake;el maquinista ya empezó a meter los frenos;
the rifles are firing, the gunfire has started.ya los fusiles se disparan, ha empezado la metralla.
Why are they running if their train just arrived?¿Por qué corren si nomás llegó su tren?

The rural police have already gotten off,Ya se bajaron los rurales,
don't be scared, federals,no le saquen, federales,
because for you it came, it came,que pa' astedes vino, vino,
came the train.vino el tren.
