Lyrics
El Matador
Ay, Torero, she's here, Ay, matador, he feels her eyes,
they are wide with excitement and fear.
He feels her heart for it cries, when the horns are to near.
He will be bold, brave, and swift will he be
and he'll be numero uno, torero fino,
she'll dream tonight of him.
Ole, ole, ole! Viva el matador!
Ole, ole, ole! Viva el matador!
Ay, Torero, she's here. Ay, matador he see's her smile
and he see's there the reason she came
Toro go closer, go near and he'll whisper her name.
You maybe brave and as bold as you're black,
but he'll be numero uno, torero fino, toro come back.
Ole, ole, ole! Viva el matador
Ole, ole, ole! Viva el matador
Ole, ole, ole! Viva el matador
Ole, ole, ole! Viva el matador
Toro, aqui, closer, closer, closer, closer.
