El Viejo Matías (original)El Viejo Matías (translation)
La lluvia y el viento eran dos hermanos The rain and the wind were two brothers
Corriendo furiosos por el terraplén Running furious down the embankment
Y en un banco oscuro, mojado y mugriento And on a dark, wet, grimy bench
Él se acomodaba su uniforme gris He was adjusting his gray uniform
El viejo Matías duerme en cualquier parte Old Matías sleeps anywhere
Un fantasma errante le toca la piel A wandering ghost touches her skin
Pero cuando llueve sus despojos buscan But when it rains the spoils of him seek
La estación de chapas de Paso del Rey The Paso del Rey sheet metal station
Es cuco de niños y de no tan niños He is cuckoo of children and not so children
Su figura triste cruzando el andén His sad figure of him crossing the platform
Porque nadie ha visto sus ojos cansados Because no one has seen his tired eyes
La cruz del olvido temblando en sus pies The cross of oblivion trembling at its feet
A veces murmura cosas incoherentes Sometimes he mutters incoherent things
Habla de la guerra, imita al cañón Talk about the war, imitate the cannon
Y otras veces pone en sus ojos un niño And other times he puts a child in his eyes
Y acuna en sus brazos su bolso marrón And he cradles her brown bag in his arms
Cuando llegan los trenes repletos de obreros When the trains full of workers arrive
Se pone contento, brilla su mirar He gets happy, his look shines
Gorrión de la tarde, quiere hablar con todos Evening sparrow, he wants to talk to everyone
Y después se queda solo en el andén And then he is left alone on the platform
Se queda mirando las vías vacías He stares at the empty tracks
La luz que se pierde del tren que pasó The light that is lost from the train that passed
Y después se aleja murmurando cosas And then he walks away muttering things
El viejo Matías, ogro del lugar The old Matías, ogre of the place
La lluvia y el viento eran dos hermanos The rain and the wind were two brothers
Corriendo furiosos por el terraplén Running furious down the embankment
Y en un banco oscuro, mojado y mugriento And on a dark, wet, grimy bench
Él se acomodaba su uniforma grisHe was adjusting his gray uniform
