Lyrics The Apology Song - Diego Luna, Gustavo Santaolalla

The Apology Song

Torro, I am sorry
For tonight I understand
Your royal blood was never meant to decorate the sand
You’ve suffered great injustice
So have thousands before you
I offer an apology, and one long overdue
I am sorry
Torro I am sorry
Hear my song
And know I sing the truth
Although we were bred to fight
I reach for kindness in your heart tonight
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
Torro, I am frightened
But I’ll use my final breath
To tell you that I’m sorry
Let us end this dance of death
Two centuries of agony
That to your heart we sent
Here are now with my amends
The senseless killing ends
I am sorry
Torro I am sorry
Hear my song
And know I sing the truth
Although we were bred to fight
I reach for kindness in your heart tonight
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love, love will truly live
