Announcer:
|
Senors and senoritas, welcome to the most anticipated bullfight in Spanish history!
|
Today, El Matador Ricardo will face El Toro the bull - the fiercest meanest beast in all of the
|
land!
|
|
Matador:
|
El Matador -comes out of the dust- as the sweet smell of roses and the foul smell of the bulls
|
fills the air.
|
Today, El Toro faces Don Presarios...
|
El Toro the bull -?- -does not think a lot- of the most beautiful woman in all of Spain.
|
|
Chorus:
|
I am the matador, and I must fight the bull!
|
For my honor, and for my pride!
|
It is which I adore,
|
And it's so much more than a job
|
It's what I live for, it's just a way of life!
|
|
Rosalina:
|
Oh Ricardo, don't you love me anymore?
|
You cannot fight the bull, for he is fierce and mean
|
And he is merciless,
|
He will impale you with his horns.
|
What about our lives together?
|
|
Chorus:
|
I am the matador, and I must fight the bull!
|
For my honor, and for my pride!
|
It is which I adore,
|
And it's so much more than a job
|
It's what I live for, it's just a way of life!
|
|
Narrator:
|
The buzz of nervous excitement fills the stadium,
|
As the tension mounts, the crowd rises to their feet. (oh!)
|
The vendors walk the stands, selling at the top of their lungs:
|
Popcorn! Peanuts! NACHOS!!!
|
The fight begins...
|
|
(Assorted Spanish yells)
|
|
Fight pause:
|
He's got it, he's got it, he's got his pride.
|
He's got it, he's got it, deep down inside
|
Because the matador, he's got his pride
|
The matador, deep down inside
|
The matador, he's got his pride
|
The matador-----------
|
|
Come on, Fight! Fight! (x7)
|
|
Narrator:
|
It is over. The fight is done.
|
But it is not the bull that is the dead one,
|
Rosalina lies dead of a broken heart
|
The bull and the matador together part....
|
|
As I left that arena that day, I was confused.
|
I saw the matador and I asked him, 'Why did you kill your fiancee?'
|
|
Matador:
|
I must have done what I have done because today's fight was such a bore,
|
I needed to spark up something more...
|
|
Chorus:
|
I am the matador, and I must fight the bull!
|
For my honor, and for my pride!
|
It is which I adore,
|
And it's so much more than a job
|
It's what I live for, it's just a way of life!
|
|
I am the matador! (x7)
|
I am the matador-e-or-e-or-e-or-e-or-e-or-e-or-e-or!
