Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo te vi en un tren
Preocupada de mas
Quise ayudarte
Y ya no estabas mas

Me colgué del vagón
Que ya empezaba a correr
Entusiasmado
Como la primera vez

Y al fin te encontré
Y al fin te encontré
Y no pude ni siquiera
Decir "hola"

Intenté compensar
Preguntarte la edad
Cómo te llamabas
En qué estación pensabas bajar

Y no supe qué decir
Me engañaba al hablar
Alucinado
Sin ninguna razón

Yo te vi en un tren
Yo te vi en un tren
Y no pude ni siquiera
Decir "hola"!

Yo te vi en un tren
Preocupada de mas
Quise ayudarte
Y ya no estabas mas

Intenté compensar
Preguntarte la edad
Cómo te llamabas
En qué estación pensabas bajar

Y no supe qué decir
Me engañaba al hablar
Alucinado
Sin ninguna razón

Yo te vi en un tren
Yo te vi en un tren
Y no pude ni siquiera
Decir "hola"!





Yo te vi en un tren

Overall Meaning

"Te Vi En Un Tren" by Enanitos Verdes is a song about a missed opportunity. The singer sees a woman on a train who seems worried, and he wants to help her. He tries to catch up with the train and gets excited at the prospect of helping her, but by the time he catches up, she's gone. When he finally finds her, he's too nervous to say anything beyond trying to ask her name and where she's getting off. Despite not being able to speak to her, he still thinks about her and wonders what could have been.


The song captures the feeling of missed connections and what it's like to be tongue-tied around someone you're interested in. The singer's nervousness translates to the music, with a fast tempo and frantic guitar riff that reflects the sense of urgency he feels. The repeated refrain of "Yo te vi en un tren" (I saw you on a train) is particularly effective, hammering in the idea of a momentary encounter that could have meant something more.
