Blanca y negra, que te ponen verde

White and black, they make you turn green

Deja que recuerde cómo te han olvidao'

Let me remember how they have forgotten you

Por este andén el tren no ha pasao'

On this platform, the train has not passed


Blanca y negra, que te ponen verde

White and black, they make you turn green

Chilla y muerde porque te han ninguneao'

Scream and bite because they have belittled you

El raíl del ferrocarril sa' oxidao'

The rail of the railroad has rusted


Traviesas muy traviesas y vetustas a la vez

Playful, very playful, and ancient at the same time

Vagones ardiendo que no aguantan en pie

Burning cars that can't stand

Dios santo, en medio del campo otra vez

Holy God, in the middle of the field again


En esta bendita tierra maldita solo lo grita milana bonita

In this blessed land, cursed, only the kite screams it

Y ese maldito grito bendito ha de asustar al señorito

And that cursed blessed scream must scare the young master


Blanca y negra, que te ponen verde

White and black, they make you turn green

Siempre pierdes cuando han adjudicao'

You always lose when they have assigned

A quiénes van los bienes que han mejorao'

To those who receive the goods they have improved


Blanca y negra, que te ponen verde

White and black, they make you turn green

No has sido fuerte cuando te han expoliao'

You haven't been strong when they have plundered you

Y ahora todos creen que el tren sí ha llegao'

And now everyone believes that the train has arrived


Retrasos y averías to' los días del mes

Delays and breakdowns every day of the month

Decimonónico y anacrónico servicio de tren

19th-century and anachronistic train service

El jefe de la renfe no sabe qué hacer

The head of Renfe doesn't know what to do


En esta bendita tierra maldita solo lo grita milana bonita

In this blessed land, cursed, only the kite screams it

Y ese maldito grito bendito ha de asustar al señorito

And that cursed blessed scream must scare the young master


Caciques y oligarcas se han comido el pastel

Local bosses and oligarchs have eaten the cake

Removiendo la sopa, caliente sopa boba

Stirring the soup, hot foolish soup

A la cola de europa mientras nos roban

At the tail end of Europe while they rob us

Una línea moderna y segura de tren

A modern and safe train line

Y encima hay que callar y agachar el cogote

And on top of that, we have to be silent and bow our neck

Viendo a don quijote atravesando mucho antes

Seeing Don Quixote crossing long before

Cabalgando a rocinante las tierras de toledo

Riding Rocinante through the lands of Toledo

Porque no disponemos de un tren que ande

Because we don't have a working train
