La casa de mis abuelos
Pa´los años de la infancia
Soñaba con tantos cuentos
Que no cabían en la cama
La historia de un tren inglés
Que a la región embrujaba
Porque al balón de fútbol
Que pa´esos años llegaba
La historia de un tren inglés
Que a la región embrujaba
Y un partido de fútbol
Que tres a dos terminaba
Sale el tren de Santa Marta
Ciénaga se ve dormida
De Río Frío hasta Aracataca
Donde mi abuelo cultiva
Fundación ya está de fiesta
Viene el tren pidiendo vía
Las canciones vallenatas
Se oyen en la lejanía
Al fin los tiempos modernos
Comentaban las señoras
Como los que hay en Europa
la que tanto se añora
Pa´mi abuelo fue el progreso
Que la carga le aliviaba
Y en esa mula de hierro
Con otros tiempos soñaba
Pa´mi abuelo fue el progreso
Y eso lo tenía contento
Viviendo las malas horas
Lo llamó los buenos tiempos
Sale el tren de madrugada
Y todo el pueblo está despierto
Y el pitirre canta al viento
Anunciando la mañana
Se despeja la Nevada
Y eso me da sentimiento
Se llevó las malas horas
El tren de los buenos tiempos
