Francisco Alegre

On the posters they have put a nameEn los carteles han puesto un nombre
That I don't want to look at:Que no lo quiero mirá:
Happy Francisco, and olé!Francisco alegre, y ole!
Happy Francisco, and olá!Francisco alegre, y olá!
The people say: long live the men,La gente dise: vivan los hombres,
When they see him bullfightCuando lo ven toreá
I am praying for himYo estoy resando por e
With my mouth shut.Con la boquita serrá.
From the arenaDesde la arena
He tells me: dark girl,Me dise: niña morena,
Why do you cryPor que me lloras
Empress face?Carita de emperaora?
Give me your laughter, woman,Dame tu risa, muje,
I am an Andalusian bullfighterQue soy torero andalu
And I wear around my neck the cross of JesusY llevo ar cuello la cru de Jesú
That you gave me...Que me diste tu…

Happy Francisco, my heart,Francisco alegre, corasón mío,
Spreads his cape on the sand of the ring;Tiende su capa sobre la arena del redonde;
Happy Francisco has a suitFrancisco alegre tiene un vestío
With an I love you that I embroiderCon un te quiero que entre suspiros yo le
Among sighs.Borde.
Brave little bull, don't look at meTorito bravo, no me lo mires de esa
That way,Manera,
Let him adorn your black curls with hisDeja que adorne tus rizos negros con su
Montera.Montera.
Noble little bull, have compassion,Torito noble, ten compasión,
That among embroideries,Que entre bordaos,
He carries locked up,Lleva enserrao,
Happy Francisco, and olé!Francisco alegre, y ole!
My heart.Mi corazón.

In my window I have a signEn mi ventana tengo un letrero
For him to come and seePa\' que lo venga a mirá
Happy Francisco and olé!Francisco alegre y ole!
Happy Francisco and olá!Francisco alegre y olá!
In the one that says how much I love you,En er que dise cuanto te quiero,
But what a pity it gives me...Pero que pena me dá…
Because of another lovePor curpa de otro queré
We cannot get married.No nos podemos casá.
From the arenaDesde la arena
He tells me: dark girl,Me dise: niña morena,
Who makes you fall in love,Quien te enamora,
Empress face?Carita de emperaora?
Don't you remember, woman,Ya no te acuerdas, muje,
This Andalusian bullfighterDe este torero andalu
Who wears around his neck the cross of JesusQue lleva al cuello la cru de Jesú
That you gave him.Que le diste tu.
