El Toreador |
He was nobly born |
And a Spanish bull’s horn |
Had left one scar on his handsome face |
He stood like a prince |
And he had ever since |
He had grandly walked into the place |
Though the girls of Madrid |
Tonight were forbid |
For tomorrow he must fight once more |
Before he left the ball |
He would dance with them all |
'Cause he was El Toreador |
The day of the feast |
Was just a light in the east |
When he left Maria’s warm bed |
Her dark eyes said «more» |
But he walked thru the door |
Shaking cobwebs of dreams from his head |
And later that day |
As he knelt to pray |
He said God grant me this nothing more |
If it is the way |
And I must die today |
Let me die like a Toreador |
The Plaza del Toros |
Shook from the roar |
As the band played the Toreador’s theme |
Alarmed by the sound |
The bull paws the ground |
As the Toreador enters the ring |
Up and down, |
Round and round |
On and on, all alone |
The shouts of olé |
In the heat of the day |
Rushed the hot blood to his Spanish heart |
And the crowd held their breath |
As he flirted with death |
And the bull fighter’s sword found it’s mark |
And trying to hide |
The wound in his side |
He walked from the ring standing tall |
And a crowd gathered round |
As he fell to the ground |
A priest held his hand |
Where he lay in the sand |
And he was heard to say |
A brave bull died today |
But he died like a Toreador |
