I'm not going by train, I'm going by plane
I don't need anyone, no one around me
Because there's no one my skin can stand
I'm from the Southern Cross
I'm the one who closes up and turns off the light
I'm from the Southern Cross
Here and everywhere

Non vado in treno, vado in aereo
Non ho bisogno di nessuno, nessuno intorno a me
Perché non c'è nessuno che regga la mia presenza
Sono della Croce del Sud
Sono quello che chiude e spegne la luce
Sono della Croce del Sud
Qui e ovunque [*]

Não vou de trem, vou de avião
Não preciso de ninguém, de ninguém por perto
Porque não tem ninguém que suporte minha presença
Eu sou da Cruz do Sul
Sou o que fecha e apaga a luz
Eu sou da Cruz do Sul
Aqui an everywhere [*]
From the album
Clics Modernos
Charly García · 1983 · Track 1
The story behind
No voy en tren is a song belonging to Clics modernos (also known as Modern Clix), the second studio album that Charly García —Argentine singer and multi-instrumentalist— released as a solo artist on November 5, 1983 through the label SG Discos. The track has a duration of 3:02. The record containing this song featured the participation of Pedro Aznar, a musician with whom García had already shared work in the band Serú Girán, active between 1978 and 1981. The album to which No voy en tren belongs includes references to the Argentine civic-military dictatorship that lasted from 1976 to 1983, a period that concluded shortly before the release of the record. Its lyrics are distinguished by a sarcastic and humorous tone. The work is noted as a defining turning point in consolidating the modern currents that would shape the profile of Argentine rock throughout the 1980s. Some consider it the finest result of García's career and one of the most outstanding albums in national rock. On the Last.fm platform, the song has accumulated 539,239 plays and has 81,374 registered listeners.
