Tu pierde 'o suonno
'ncopp''e giurnalette
e mamme te minaccia
e patete s'arrabbia.
Te fanno gira' a' capa sti fumette,
guardannote 'into' 'o specchio
vuoi fare il Toreador
comme fanno a Santafè,
comme fanno ad ''Ollivud"
e cu' sta scusa, oi ni, nun studie cchiu'.
Oh! Torero,
te si' piazzato 'ncapo stu sombrero,
dice ca' si' spagnuolo e nun e''o vero,
che nacchere 'in t''a sacca vai a balla'
mescolando bolero e cia'-cia'.
Chi vuo' 'mbruglia'.
Torero,
cu' sti basette a' sudamericano,
cu' 'nu sicario avana
e 'a cammesella 'e picche'.
Torero, torero.
Ole!
Te fatto 'a giacchettella corta, corta,
e 'o cazunciello astritto
e 'o ricciurillo 'n fronte.
Te ride 'a gente areto
e nun te 'mporta.
Ti senti un Marlon Brando
che a spasso se ne va
per le vie di Santafè
per le vie di Ollivud
e 'a 'nnammurata toia nun te vo' cchiu'.
Ue! Torero,
te si' piazzato 'ncapo stu sombrero,
dice ca' si' spagnuolo e nun e''o vero
che nacchere 'in t''a sacca vai a balla'
mescolando bolero e cia'-cia'.
Chi vuo' 'mbruglia'.
Torero,
cu' sti basette a' sudamericano
cu' 'nu sicario avana
e 'a cammesella 'e picche'.
Torero, torero.
Ole!
Oh! Torero,
e levatillo 'a capo stu sombrero,
nun si' spagnuolo e nun si' cabballero,
sti nacchere tu nun 'e saie suna'
e sti nacchere tu che ne 'a fa,
belo 'e mamma.
Torero,
cu' sti basette a' sudamericano
cu' 'nu sicario avana
e 'a cammesella 'e picche'.
Torero, torero.
Ole!
Ole!
