Matador,
heute stellst du dir vor, wie das ist.
Geht es wieder gut?
Matador,
und dann siehst du vor dir, schon den sterbenden Stier,
im Blut.
Welch ein Tag!
Horch' das Toben der Mengen!
Die wie wild nur noch deinen Namen schrei'n.
Schau empor,
zu den jubelnden Rängen!
Das Idol deiner Stadt wirst du sein!
Matador!
Stell' es dir vor!
Matador!
Dieses Gefühl!
Aber dann bleibe kühl, ganz kühl!
Matador,
aber stell' dir auch vor, wie das ist,
wenn man unterliegt!
Matador,
das verzweifelte Tier tauscht die Rolle mit dir
und siegt.
Welch ein Tag!
Keine Hand wird sich regen.
Nur ein Schrei,
dann wird's dunkel um dich her.
Und du greifst
in den Sand nach dem Degen.
Doch der Tod
sagt du brauchst ihn nicht mehr!
Matador!
Stell' es dir vor!
Matador!
Dieses Gefühl!
Aber dann bleibe kühl, ganz kühl!
Matador,
die Fiesta beginnt und ich red' in den Wind,
drum' geh'.
Matador...
