Taka Takata (The Bullfighter's Wife)

Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)
I hear my heart beating

Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)
To the rhythm of his steps

The sangria was flowing
At the fair in Toledo
The girl who was dancing
Had gotten into my head
When a banderillero
Told me, 'Friend, stay calm
Beware of the bullfighter
If you look at his wife

But she approaches me
And drops her rose
With a note proposing
A meeting at the hacienda
We embraced under the orange tree
But the owner, whose job it was
Shouted 'vengeance, to the arena!
The deceived matador
Emerges from the shadows and advances
Me, on my orange tree
I try to act nonchalant

Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)
I hear my heart beating

Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)
To the rhythm of his steps

'You, man, will pay'
He said, 'here is the thrust
My picadors are ready
And my dark eye is on you
And it's since that day
That a bullfighter condemns me
To sweep his courtyard
For having been with his wife

Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)
I hear my heart beating

Taka taka taka taka taka ta (3x)
To the rhythm of his steps
