La Rielera
El maquinista en camino
Siempre en su sitio, va fiel
Cuando la locomotora
Va caminando en el riel
Toditos los garroteros
Y fogoneros también
Llevan en riesgo su vida
Entre la rueda del tren
Yo soy rielera, tengo mi Juan
Él es mi amado, yo soy su querer
Siempre me dice cuando se va
Adiós, mi rielera, ya se va tu Juan
Si porque me ven polainas
Piensan que soy militar
Yo soy puro garrotero
Del Ferrocarril Central
Traigo mi par de pistolas
Para salirme a pasear
Una es para mi querida
Y otra es para mi rival
Yo soy rielera, tengo mi Juan
Él es mi amado, yo soy su querer
Siempre me dice cuando se va
Adiós, mi rielera, ya se va tu Juan
Toditos los maquinistas
No pueden tener mujer
Porque de noche trabajan
Muchos la dejan de ver
Cuando dice el conductor
Es hora de caminar
Me llevo su canastita
Con la que va a refinar
Yo soy rielera, tengo mi Juan
Él es mi amado, yo soy su querer
Siempre me dice cuando se va
Adiós, mi rielera, ya se va tu Juan
The Railway Woman
The engineer on the way
Always in his place, he goes faithfully
When the locomotive
Is walking on the rail
All the switchmen
And firemen too
Risk their lives
Between the train's wheels
I am a railway woman, I have my Juan
He is my beloved, I am his love
He always tells me when he leaves
Goodbye, my railway woman, your Juan is leaving
If they see me wearing gaiters
They think I'm a soldier
I am a pure switchman
Of the Central Railroad
I carry my pair of pistols
To go out for a walk
One is for my beloved
And the other is for my rival
I am a railway woman, I have my Juan
He is my beloved, I am his love
He always tells me when he leaves
Goodbye, my railway woman, your Juan is leaving
All the engineers
Cannot have a wife
Because they work at night
Many don't get to see her
When the conductor says
It's time to walk
I take his little basket
With which he refines
I am a railway woman, I have my Juan
He is my beloved, I am his love
He always tells me when he leaves
Goodbye, my railway woman, your Juan is leaving
