Letra del Tango Que lento corre el tren

Corre el tren que va a encontrarte,
Pero más el ansia mía,
Con qué beso ha de besarte mi emoción,
Con qué cariño apretaré tu corazón.

Corre el tren que va a encontrarte
Pero más el ansia mía,
Y en la dulce ensoñación, de la ilusión,
Tu amor me viene a acariciar.

Qué lento corre el tren
Qué ganas de llegar,
Y las horas van pasando
Y la ansiedad,
De ver las cosas del ayer
Hace vibrar todo mi ser.

Qué lento corre el tren
Más corre mi ansiedad,
Qué cosas me dirás,
Qué cosas te diré,
Qué lento corre el tren
Qué ganas de llegar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Que lento corre el tren"

The train rushes to find you,
But my longing rushes more,
With what kiss emotions shall greet you,
With what love will I embrace your heart.

The train rushes to find you,
But my longing rushes more,
And in the sweet dreaming, of illusions,
Your love comes to caress me.

How slowly the train moves,
How I yearn to arrive,
And the hours keep passing
And the anxiety,
To see things from the past
Makes all my being tremble.

How slowly the train moves,
Yet my anxiety rushes more,
What things you will tell me,
What things I will tell you,
How slowly the train moves,
How I yearn to arrive.

Story behind the Tango Que lento corre el tren

The Tango “Que lento corre el tren” (How slowly the train runs) conveys the anticipation and profound longing felt by someone who is traveling to reunite with a loved one. The writer juxtaposes the literal speed of the train with the metaphorical urgency of his own feelings, which are moving much faster towards the reunion. This piece beautifully captures the essence of emotional and physical distance and the ardent desire to bridge it.

Symbolism of Que lento corre el tren

The recurring image of the ‘train’ in this tango serves as a powerful symbol of transition and movement towards a goal. It’s not just a mode of transport; it becomes a representation of time itself and how it seems to slow down when we are eagerly waiting for something. “Y la ansiedad, de ver las cosas del ayer” reflects the narrator’s impatience and his emotional turmoil as he yearns to reconnect with the past and his significant other. This symbolism of the train and his anxiety brilliantly conveys how our perception of time can change with emotions.

Que lento corre el tren in historic Context

“Que lento corre el tren” was written and recorded during a tumultuous period marked by World War II, although Argentina was neutral for much of it. In 1943, Argentina also experienced a significant political change with a military coup that could have influenced the atmosphere and sentiments during the time. This historical backdrop can add a layer of interpretation to the tango, reflecting a general longing for stability and the slow pace of waiting for a resolution to upheaval, mirrored by the slow-moving train in the lyrics.
