Canción Del Último Tranvía
María Elena Walsh
Song of the Last Tram
The last tram
That still rolls
It goes, it goes, it goes
How sorry I am
Because it will not return
On a little sawdust path
Goes the tram, ting ting ting
Asks for an apple and they don't give it
Not even a corner, ting tang ting tang
If a tram goes through a garden
It's wrong, ting ting ting
And if it crashes into a captain
It pays a fine, ting tang ting tang
The last tram
That still rolls
It goes, it goes, it goes
How sorry I am
Because it will not return
If a jasmine blooms on a tram
On the roof, ting ting ting
How will the ants travel
Happily, ting tang ting tang
If a tram drinks orangeade
It gets drunk, ting ting ting
But if a tram eats bread
It doesn't overeat, ting tang ting tang
The last tram
That still rolls
It goes, it goes, it goes
How sorry I am
Because it will not return
