El Toro

The Bull

El Toro

The sorrows are black bullsLas penas son toros negros
That charge straight at the soulQue embisten directo al alma
You gotta handle them gently, quietlyHay que lidiarlos suave, quedito
And you gotta take them down hard, hard and steadyY hay que matarlos duro, duro y continuo
Hard and with calmDuro y con calma

I'm facing a fierce bull, a fierce bullEstoy lidiando un toro bravo, un toro bravo
Fierce and olé, and olé, and oléBravo y olé, y olé, y olé
I'm gonna cut off its ears and tailVoy a cortarle orejas y rabo
I'm gonna cut off its ears and tailVoy a cortarle orejas y rabo
Yeah, I already dedicated itSí, ya se lo brindé

To that dark-haired girl in the squareA esa morena que está en la plaza
Who’s in my house, in my heartQue está en mi casa, en mi corazón
I dedicate this to those who love meSe lo dedico a los que me aman
To my friends and the fansA mis amigos y a la afición

I'm facing a bull black as the nightEstoy lidiando un toro negro como la noche
Black, black is its intentionNegra, negra es su intención
But this bull won't kill mePero este toro a mí no me mata
This little bull won't take me out, I've got what it takesEste torito no me retira, me sobra condición

It's got a bad name, it's called sorrowTiene mal nombre, se llama pena
And I'm gonna put on a showY una faena le voy a hacer
And don’t doubt that I’ll come out on topY no lo duden que salga en hombros
I’ll come out victorious from the ringSaldré triunfante del redondel

I'm facing a fierce bullEstoy lidiando un toro bravo

I'm facing a fierce bullEstoy lidiando un toro bravo
I’ve got my horse and everything, all set to rideTraigo caballo y todo, todo pa' rejonear
This little bull is well-hornedA este torito bien encornao'
This little bull wants to throw me off to the other sideEste torito que pa' otro lao' me quiere despachar

It's heavy, it’s a lot of weightEstá pesa'o, son muchos kilos
But my blades will finish it offPero mis filos lo acabarán
You’ll see it won’t send me to the pitVerá que no me manda pa'l pozo
And in the pit, they’ll shout for meY en el pozo me gritarán

Olé!¡Olé!
