English[]
Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbillies all in a row
See the station master turn the little handle
Puff puff! Toot toot! Off we go
"Okay, pufferbillies, let's go a little bit faster now!"
Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbillies all in a row
See the station master turn the little handle
Puff puff! Toot toot! Off we go
Español (Trenecitos)[]
En la estación temprano en la mañana
Ves pequeños trenecitos en formación
Ves al conductor mover la palanquita
Puff puff, toot toot
Vamos ya
¡A ver trenecitos! Un poquito más rápido, aquí vamos!
En la estación temprano en la mañana
Ves pequeños trenecitos en formación
Ves al conductor mover la palanquita
Puff puff, toot toot
Vamos ya

在一大清早到了火火車站
可愛小火車一台台排排站
開火車的現身,按下發動按鈕
Puff puff, toot toot, off we go
Ok,小火車,現在讓我們在試著開快一點
在一大清早到了火火車站
可愛小火車一台台排排站
開火車的現身,按下發動按鈕
Puff puff, toot toot, off we go
Puff puff, toot toot, off we go
