Translation of the song lyrics El Tren de la Alegría - Paté de Fuá

El Tren de la Alegría (original)

Viejo tren de la alegria
Solo te miro pasar
Poco se de fantasia
Nada de felicidad
Viejo tren de la alegria
Quien supiera a donde vas
Por mas que anhelen tus vagones
En ellos ya no hay razon
Ni para mi un lugar
Del tren de la alegria
Jamas fui pasajero
Si aveces yo lo espero
Es para contemplar
Su estampa de lucero
Que pasa y me imagino
Feliz en el camino de
Su eterno carnaval
No se cual es su prisa
Ni que sentido tiene
No se de donde viene
Ni se hacia donde va
Tan solo se que son felices
Aquellos que abordo están
Mientras los demas marchamos detras
Como grises payasos de arrabal
Aquella madrugada
Al verlo en una esquina
Lo veo entre la neblina
Treparme a su vagon
Y con el alma en ruina
Y finos maquillajes
Aquellos personajes
No eran mas que una ilusión
Parado y sin boleto
Mirando extrañamente
A toda aquella gente
Inmobil me quede
Y al ver la estacion siguiente
Sin nada que hacer baje
Con desilucion
Y desde el anden
Pude ver alejarse al falso tren
Viejo tren de la alegria
Solo te miro pasar
Poco se de fantasia
Nada de felicidad
Viejo tren de la alegria
Quien supiera a donde vas
Por mas que anhelen tus vagones
En ellos ya no hay razon
Ni para mi un lugar

El Tren de la Alegría (translation)

Old train of joy
I just watch you go by
I know little about fantasy
no happiness
Old train of joy
who knows where you're going
As much as your wagons yearn
In them there is no reason
Nor for me a place
From the train of joy
I was never a passenger
Yes sometimes I wait for it
is to behold
Your stamp of star
What happens and I imagine
happy on the way
Your eternal carnival
I don't know what your rush is
nor what sense does it make
I don't know where it comes from
I don't know where it's going
I only know that they are happy
Those on board are
While the rest of us march behind
Like gray suburban clowns
that morning
Seeing him in a corner
I see it through the mist
climb on his wagon
And with the soul in ruin
and fine makeup
those characters
They were nothing more than an illusion
Standing and without a ticket
looking strange
to all those people
Real estate I stay
And when you see the next station
With nothing to do go down
with disappointment
and from the platform
I could see the fake train go away
Old train of joy
I just watch you go by
I know little about fantasy
no happiness
Old train of joy
who knows where you're going
As much as your wagons yearn
In them there is no reason
Nor for me a place
