El Matador
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Aye, To-ro-ro, she is here
Aye, Matador
I felt her eyes
They are wide with excitement and fear
I feel her heart
For it cries when the horns are too near
I will be bold
Brave and swift will I be
And I will be nu-mer-o u-no
To-re-ro fi-no
She'll dream tonight of me
O-le, o-le, o-le!
Viva el Matador!
O-le, o-le, o-le!
Viva el Matador!
Aye, To-ro-ro, she is here
Aye, Matador
I see her smile
And I see there the reason she came
To-ro, come closer
Come hear and I'll whisper her name
You may be brave
And as bold as you're black
But I will be nu-mer-o u-no
To-re-ro fi-no
To-ro, come back
