Last Train to London
ELO Part II Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun was going' down, there was music all around
It felt so right.
It was one of those nights, one of those nights when
you feel the world stop turnin', you were standing
There, there was music in the air.I should have been
Away, but I knew I'd have to stay.
Last train to London, just headin' out,
Last train to London, just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.
It was one of those nights, one of those nights when
You feel the fire is burnin', everybody was there,
Everybody to share, it felt so right.
There you were on your own, lookin' like you were
The only one around, I had to be with you,
Nothin' else that I could do,
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to say.
Last train to London, just headin' out,
Last train to London, just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.
Underneath a starry sky, time was still but hours
Must really have rushed by, I didn't realize
But love was in your eyes I really should have
Gone, but love went on and on...
Last train to London, just headin' out,
Last train to London, just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.

Último tren a Londres
Eran las 9:29
Las 9:29 en la calle de atrás de la gran ciudad
El sol estaba bajando
Había música en todo alrededor
Se sentía tan bien
Era una de esas noches
Una de esas noches cuando sientes que el mundo deja de girar
Tu estabas parada ahí
Había música en el aire
Yo debería haber estado lejos
Pero sabía que tendría que quedarme
Último tren a Londres
Dirigiéndose ya afuera
Último tren a Londres
Dejando ya el pueblo
Pero realmente yo quiero que esta noche dure por siempre
Realmente quiero estar contigo
Dejemos que la música suene esta noche
Era una de esas noches
Una de esas noches cuando sientes que el fuego está ardiendo
Todos estaban ahí
Todos para compartir
Se estaba tan bien
Allí estabas tu sola
Parecías ser la única por alrededor
Tenía que estar contigo
Yo nada mas podía hacer
Yo debería haber estado lejos
Pero sabía que tendría que quedarme
Último tren a Londres
Dirigiéndose ya afuera
Último tren a Londres
Dejando ya el pueblo
Pero realmente yo quiero que esta noche dure por siempre
Realmente quiero estar contigo
Dejemos que la música suene esta noche
Debajo de un cielo estrellado
El tiempo aún estaba pero las horas realmente habían volado
Yo no me di cuenta
Pero el amor estaba en tus ojos
Yo realmente debería haberme ido
Pero el amor continuó sin parar
Último tren a Londres
Dirigiéndose ya afuera
Último tren a Londres
Dejando ya el pueblo
Pero realmente yo quiero que esta noche dure por siempre
Realmente quiero estar contigo
Dejemos que la música suene esta noche
Pero realmente yo quiero que esta noche dure por siempre
Realmente quiero estar contigo
Dejemos que la música suene esta noche

ELO is probably the most underrated rock band in history.
All their albums are pure gems.
