El Tren
Jauria
Riding the Train of Dreams and Fire
The song 'El Tren' by Jauria is a poetic exploration of the journey towards one's dreams and aspirations, using the metaphor of a train ride. The repetitive lines 'Sigo en tren de un sueño rápido' and 'Sigo en tren de un sueño mágico' emphasize the relentless pursuit of dreams, whether they are swift and urgent or magical and enchanting. The train symbolizes a vehicle of transformation and progress, carrying the dreamer through various stages of their journey.
The lyrics also introduce elements of danger and challenge, with references to 'serpientes llegarán' (snakes will come) and 'Sigo en tren del fuego' (I continue on the train of fire). These lines suggest that the path to achieving dreams is fraught with obstacles and trials. The imagery of fire represents both destruction and purification, indicating that the journey may involve significant personal growth and change. The promise to escape ('y prometo escapar') reflects a determination to overcome these challenges and reach the desired destination.
The song's mention of 'Las vías junto al mar' (the tracks by the sea) and 'Al cielo alcanzar' (to reach the sky) adds a layer of serenity and ultimate aspiration. The sea and sky are often symbols of vastness and freedom, suggesting that the journey, despite its difficulties, leads to a place of boundless possibilities and fulfillment. Jauria's musical style, characterized by its energetic and emotive delivery, enhances the song's themes of perseverance and hope, making 'El Tren' a powerful anthem for anyone on a quest to realize their dreams.
