Los Toros

The Bulls

Los Toros

The circus begins now,Ya comienza el circo,
The swordsman comes out,Sale el espadachin,
In colorful attire,Con traje de colores,
And a civil guard hat.Y gorro de guardia civil.

He doesn't know what awaits him,No sabe que le espera,
The bull in the pen,Al toro en el redil,
When he enters the arena,Cuando salga a la plaza,
He will suffer until death.Sufrira hasta morir.

The impatient people,La gente impaciente,
Morbid and frenzied,Morbo y frenesi,
Want to see blood run,Quieren que corra sangre,
Want it to suffer until death.Que sufra hasta morir.

Because in the end,Por que al fn y al cabo,
They dare to say,Se atreven a decir,
The national celebration,La fiesta nacional,
Has always been like this.Siempre ha sido asi.

Agony and suffering,Agonia y sufrimiento,
Without resentment or feeling,Sin rencor ni sentimiento,
And the bull dies for money,Y el toro muere por dinero,
And there are those who pay to see it.Y hay, quien paga por verlo.

With a red cape,Con una capa roja,
They catch his attention,Llaman su atencion,
And they stick banderillas,Y le clavan banderillas,
And that's not the worst.Y eso no es lo peor.

They say he doesn't suffer,Dicen que no sufre,
That he doesn't feel pain,Que no siente el dolor,
And they stick a sword,Y le clavan una espada,
Straight to the heart.Directa al corazon.

End of the bullfight,Fin de la corrida,
Applause, ovation,Aplausos, ovacion,
The white handkerchiefs,Los pañuelos blancos,
Demand compensation.Piden recompensacion.

Through the main gate,Por la puerta grande,
The bullfighter exits,Sale el torero,
While in the arena,Mientras en la plaza,
Another bull has died.Otro toro ha muerto.

Agony and suffering,Agonia y sufrimiento,
Without resentment or feeling,Sin rencor ni sentimiento,
And the bull dies for money,Y el toro muere por dinero,
And there are those who pay to see it.Y hay, quien paga por verlo.
