Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Treiro treiro treiro tra
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
Treiro treiro treiro tra
Tos cambiaitos sea por lana
Campanillitas por cascabeles
Y yo digo sentrañas mías que so serrano no te conviene
Amores que van de paso
Caprichos de una mujer
No le hagas mucho caso
Y deja el agua correr
Déjala correr
Déjala correr
Que no hay voluntad en el mundo que la pueda detener
Que no hay voluntad en el mundo que la pueda detener
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
Treiro treiro treiro tra
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
Treiro treiro treiro tra
Tos cambiaito noche por día
La rosa fina por la canela
Y te digo sentraña mía que tú no sabes lo que camela
Y te digo sentraña mía que tú no sabes lo que camela
Amores que van de paso
Capricho de una mujer
No le hagas mucho caso y deja el agua correr
Y deja el agua correr
Que no hay voluntad en el mundo que la pueda detener
Que no hay voluntad en el mundo que la pueda detener
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
Treiro treiro treiro tra
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
Treiro treiro treiro tra
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
Que con el tran tran tran treiro
The lyrics of Diana Navarro's La Farruca del Tran Tran speak of the fleeting nature of love and the transience of human desires. The phrase "tran tran tran treiro" repeated throughout the song may be interpreted as the sound of a train or the rhythm of life passing by, reminding the singer of the inevitability of change. The singer acknowledges that people's tastes and desires change as quickly as the wind, as signified by the variations in the items mentioned in the song (e.g. wool for bells, a fine rose for cinnamon). The singer advises their love interest to not take these fickle desires too seriously and to let things run their natural course.
Furthermore, the singer encourages their lover to not be defined by their earthly origins (as suggested by the phrase "so serrano"), but to broaden their horizons and look beyond their present circumstances. The use of the term "sentrañas mías" (which roughly translates to "my innermost parts") conveys a sense of intimacy and vulnerability as the singer reveals their inner struggles and perspectives. The overall message of the song is a call to appreciate the impermanence of life and to embrace the ebbs and flows of the human experience.
