Tu pierde 'o suonno 'ncopp e giurnalette E mamme te minaccia E patete s'arrangia. Te fanno gira' a' capa sti fumette, Guardannote 'into' 'o specchio Vuoi fare il toreador Comme fanno a santafe', Comme fanno ad ollivud" E cu' sta scusa, oi ni, nun studie cchiu'!... He! torero! Te si' piazzato 'ncapo stu sombrero, Dice che si' spagnuolo e nun e' overo Che nacchere 'in t a sacca vai a balla' Mescolando bolero e cia'-cia' " chi vuo' 'mbruglia'! He! torero! Cu' sti basette a' sudamericano Cu' 'nu sicario avana e 'a cammesella 'e picche'!... Torero,torero, ole! I met him on a bus in barcelona We kinda got to talkin' But he did all to talkin' I asked him what he did in barcelona In sunny barcelona And this is what he said You are fortunate my friend Of this there is no doubt For every where i go the peaple shout Torero! Make way for don josé the great torero In spain i am a famous caballero I fight the bravest bull in all the land With flip of the hip Of the music of the band I cha, The bull is so confused because i cha cha I never k** him, only if he gets in my way Torero, torero, ole! I never k** him, only if he gets in my way Torero, torero, ole!
