Lyrics of El Torerillo - Jose Luis Perales

El Torerillo (original)

Deja tu pueblo y olvídate
Mira que llegó la noche
Toma el camino y aléjate
Con tu espada y tu capote
Pronto la gente comentará
Al despertar la mañana
Unos dirán se marchó del hogar
Otros dirán se escapó
Comentarán tu razón de marchar
Bajo la luz de un farol
Torero, capote, sombrero y olé
Y pierde la razón, mira su balcón
Sola se quedó la calle
Y cruza sin mirar, silba una canción
Y deja su pueblo atrás
Pelo marrón, cazadora azul
Y quimeras a la espalda
Traje de luces en oro y gris
Y en sus ojos esperanza
Cielo de estrellas, ombligo al sol
Y un corazón que se escapa
Y el maletilla será matador
Dice la gente que pasa
Y cada noche la misma canción
Vuelve su sueño a escuchar
Torero, capote, sombrero y olé
Y pierde la razón, baila bajo el sol
Pronto bailará en la arena
Y en aquel balcón que dejó al partir
Pronto nacerá una flor
Torero, capote, sombrero y olé

(translation)

Leave your town and forget
Look the night has come
Take the road and walk away
With your sword and your cape
Soon people will comment
when waking up in the morning
Some will say he left home
Others will say he escaped
They will comment on your reason for leaving
Under the light of a lantern
Bullfighter, capote, hat and olé
And he loses his mind, looks at his balcony
The street was left alone
And cross without looking, whistle a song
And leave your town behind
Brown hair, blue jacket
And chimeras behind
Light suit in gold and gray
And in her eyes of her hope
Sky of stars, navel to the sun
And a heart that escapes
And the suitcase will be killer
People say what happens
And every night the same song
He returns his dream to listen
Bullfighter, capote, hat and olé
And lose your mind, dance under the sun
Soon he will dance in the sand
And on that balcony that she left when she left
Soon a flower will be born
Bullfighter, capote, hat and olé
