Train, esa palabra tan utilizada por los jamaicanos en sus canciones.

¿Porqué? Pues mira, porque había trenes en Jamaica o por la idea de subirse a un cacharro y huir de lo puta que es tu vida, lo cual me parecería bastante más lógico.

De canciones sobre trenes las hay en todas las épocas de la música jamaicana. Aquí intentaré hacer un recopilatorio de las principales (53, no está mal), aunque habrá decenas más de ellas.
