Zig Zag
Trencito de Los Andes Lyrics

Ay tras peñas y peñas cuesta arriba el carrito
The little train ascends uphill, despite facing rocks and hills along the way.

Ay en la madrugada sus faros encendidos
In the early morning, the train's lights are shining bright.

Ahí está colgado al abismo vertical
The train hangs vertically, close to the edge of an abyss.

Ay arrancando sale del obscuro platanal
Amidst the dark banana plants, the train starts to embark.

Ay rodando remonta la subida rumbo al sol
The train rolls and climbs up towards the sun, elevating upwards.

Ay aguantando el peso de maletas y bultos
The little train carries heavy weight of cases and luggage.

Ay una vuelta y otra vuelta el volante
The conductor turns round and round the wheel.

Ay solito enfrentando la muralla del Ande
Alone, the little train traverses the challenging Andes mountains.

Ay alegre su toque de bocina chillando
The train's horn sounds joyfully, echoing around.

Ay se atreve a romper el encanto del silencio
The train bravely breaks the silence in the air.

Ay hormiguita con tus ruedas veloces En la inmensidad inmóvil de este Paisaje
The train resembles a busy ant, moving quickly through the still vast landscape around.

Ay cambiando segunda prime/Rasando al borde tu carreter/ Ay de cuarta pasando a terce/ Rapidito sigues tu carrera
The train switches gears from second to first, while carefully edging along the roadside. It then quickly accelerates from fourth to third, continuing its journey swiftly.
