Bullfighter

Novillero

One Sunday afternoon he entered the arenaUn domingo en la tarde se tiró al ruedo
To calm his novice bullfighter cravings.para calmar sus ansias de novillero.
Bullfighter, brave, unfolds the cape without fearTorero, valiente despliega el capote sin miedo
Without fear of death.sin miedo a la muerte.

The Virgin watches over you, covering you with her mantleLa Virgen te cuida, te cubre su manto
Which is a holy Manila shawl.que es santo mantón de Manila.
Young man, you approach just the same in a gallant moveMuchacho te arrimas lo mismo en un quite gallardo
As in placing the banderillas.que en las banderillas.

Bullfighter, who knows if the price of triumph,Torero, quién sabe si el precio del triunfo,
Will be paid with your life and your blood.lo paguen tu vida y tu sangre.
