Toríto Bravo

Brave Little Bull

Toríto Bravo

Little bull, brave little bullTorito, torito bravo
Captain of the herdCapitán de la manada
Little bull from Piedras NegrasTorito de piedras negras
The one with the curly foreheadEl de la frente rizada
The one who sharpens his knivesEl que afila sus puñales
In the water troughsEn los pilones del agua
The one who, upon hearing my whistlesEl que, al oír mis silbidos
If he's lying down, he gets upSi está echado, se levanta
And comes scratching the windY viene rascando el viento
Throwing it on his backEchándoselo a la espalda
Raising the goldfinchesLevantando los jilgueros
That sing among the rosemaryQue entre los romeros cantan
Whistle at him, foremanSílbale caporal
Whistle at him, whistle at himSílbale, sílbale
He's looking for a fightQue está buscando pelea
With yesterday's little bullCon el torito de ayer

Aim for the right hornTírale al pitón derecho
With the sling, foremanCon la onda, caporal
If the chestnut one rears upSi el colorado se empina
It will harm meMe lo va perjudicar
Little bull, brave little bullTorito, torito bravo
Captain of the herdCapitán de la manada
Little bull from Piedras NegrasTorito de piedras negras
The one with the curly foreheadEl de la frente rizada
Here comes the brave little bullYa viene el torito bravo
Don't be scared, my mountain girlNo te asustes, mi serrana
Put in your dark handPon en tu mano morena
A lump of white sugarUn terrón de azúcar blanca
He's black like your eyesEs negro como tus ojos
He has a star on his faceTiene un lucero en la cara
You'll see how he caresses youVerás cómo te acaricia
And how noble his gaze isY qué noble es su mirada

Whistle at him, foremanSílbale caporal
