El Torerillo

The Little Bullfighter

El Torerillo

Leave your town and forget it,Deja tu pueblo y olvídate,
see that night has come.mira que llegó la noche.
Take the road and go awayToma el camino y aléjate
with your sword and your cape.con tu espada y tu capote.
Soon people will commentPronto la gente comentará
when they wake up in the morning,al despertar la mañana,
some will say he left homeunos dirán se marchó del hogar
others will say he escaped.otros dirán se escapó.
They will comment on your reason to leaveComentarán tu razón de marchar
under the light of a lantern.bajo la luz de un farol.

Bullfighter, cape, hat and oléTorero, capote, sombrero y olé
and loses his mind, looks at her balcony,y pierde la razón, mira su balcón,
the street was left alone.sola se quedó la calle.
And crosses without looking, whistles a songY cruza sin mirar, silba una canción
and leaves his town behind.y deja su pueblo atrás.

Brown hair, blue jacketPelo marrón, cazadora azul
and dreams on his back.y quimeras a la espalda.
Suit of lights in gold and grayTraje de luces en oro y gris
and hope in his eyes.y en sus ojos esperanza.
Sky of stars, belly button to the sunCielo de estrellas, ombligo al sol
and a heart that escapesy un corazón que se escapa
and the apprentice will become a matadory el maletilla será matador
says the people passing by.dice la gente que pasa.
And every night the same song,Y cada noche la misma canción,
his dream returns to listen.vuelve su sueño a escuchar.

Bullfighter, cape, hat and oléTorero, capote, sombrero y olé
and loses his mind, dances under the suny pierde la razón, baila bajo el sol
soon he will dance in the arena.pronto bailará en la arena.
And on that balcony he left when he leftY en aquel balcón que dejó al partir
soon a flower will bloom.pronto nacerá una flor.
