I hear my heart beatingJ'entends mon cœur qui bat

Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)
To the rhythm of his stepsAu rythme de ses pas

The sangria was flowingLa sangria coulait
At the fair in ToledoA la feria de Tolède
The girl who was dancingLa fille qui dansait
Had gotten into my headM'était montée à la tête
When a banderilleroQuand un banderillo
Told me, 'Friend, stay calmMe dit " l'ami, reste calme
Beware of the bullfighterPrends garde au torero
If you look at his wifeSi tu regardes sa femme

But she approaches meMais elle s'avance vers moi
And drops her roseEt laisse tomber sa rose
With a note proposingAvec un billet qui propose
A meeting at the haciendaUn rendez-vous à l'hacienda
We embraced under the orange treeOn s'était enlacés sous l'oranger
But the owner, whose job it wasMais la dueña dont c'était le métier
Shouted 'vengeance, to the arena!Criait " vengeance, aux arènes!
The deceived matadorLe matador trompé
Emerges from the shadows and advancesSurgit de l'ombre et s'avance
Me, on my orange treeMoi, sur mon oranger
I try to act nonchalantJ'essaie de faire l'orange

'You, man, will pay'L'homme, tu vas payer
He said, 'here is the thrust"Dit-il," voici l'estocade
My picadors are readyMes picadors sont prêts
And my dark eye is on youEt mon œil noir te regarde
And it's since that dayEt c'est depuis ce jour
That a bullfighter condemns meQu'un toréro me condamme
To sweep his courtyardA balayer sa cour
For having been with his wifePour l'avoir faite à sa femme
