Happy Francisco

Francisco Alegre

On the posters they have put a name that I don't want to look atEn los carteles han puesto un nombre que yo no quiero mirar
Happy Francisco, and hooray! Happy Francisco, and hooray!Francisco Alegre ¡ y olé ! Francisco Alegre ¡ y olé !
The people say: long live the men when they see him bullfightLa gente dice: vivan los hombres cuando le ven torear
I am praying for him with my mouth shut.yo estoy rezando por él con la boquita cerrá.
From the arena, the dark-haired girl tells meDesde la arena, me dice niña morena
Why are you crying, little empress face?¿ Por qué me lloras, carita de emperadora ?
Give me your laughter, woman, I am an Andalusian bullfighterDame tu risa, mujer, que soy torero andaluz
and I wear around my neck the cross of Jesus that you gave me...y llevo al cuello la cruz de Jesus que me diste tú ...

Happy Francisco, my heart,Francisco Alegre, corazón mio,
lays his cape on the sand of the bullring;tiende su capa sobre la arena del redondel;
Happy Francisco, he has a suitFrancisco Alegre, tiene un vestido
with an I love you among whispers that I embroidered for him.con con un te quiero entre suspiros que yo le bordé.
Brave little bull, don't look at me like thatTorito bravo, no me lo mires de esa manera
let him adorn your black curls with his montera.deja que adorne tus rizos negros con su montera.
Noble little bull, have compassion, for among embroideries he carries enclosedTorito noble, ten compasión,que entre bordados lleva encerrado
Happy Francisco, and hooray! my heart.Francisco Alegre ¡ y olé ! mi corazón.

In my window I have a sign for him to come and seeEn mi ventana tengo un letrero pa' que lo venga a mirar
Happy Francisco, and hooray! Happy Francisco, and hooray!Francisco Alegre ¡ y olé !, Francisco Alegre ¡ y olé !
in it he tells you how much I love you but what a pity it gives meen el te dice cuanto te quiero pero que pena me dá
because of another love we cannot get married.por culpa de otro querer no nos podemos casar.
From the arena the dark-haired girl tells meDesde la arena me dice niña morena
Who is it that enchants you, little empress face?¿Quien te enamora, carita de emperadora?
You don't remember anymore, woman, this Andalusian bullfighterYa no te acuerdas, mujer, de este torero andaluz
who wears around his neck the cross of Jesus that you gave him...que lleva al cuello la cruz de Jesus que le diste tú...
