Toreador Song
Georges Bizet
Toreador Song
Your toast, I can return it to you
Sir, sirs because with the soldiers
Yes, the Toreros, can understand each other
For pleasures, for pleasures
They have the fights!
The circus is full
It's a day of celebration!
The circus is full from top to bottom
The spectators, losing their heads
The spectators call out loudly!
Apostrophes, shouts, and noise
Pushed to the point of fury!
Because it's the feast of courage!
It's the feast of people with heart
Let's go! On guard! Let's go! Let's go! Ah!
Toreador, on guard! Toreador, Toreador!
And think well, yes, think while fighting
That a dark eye is watching you
And that love awaits you
Toreador, love awaits you!
And think well, yes, think while fighting
That a dark eye is watching you
And that love awaits you
Toreador, love awaits you!
Suddenly, silence falls
Ah! What's happening?
No more shouts, it's the moment!
No more shouts, it's the moment!
The bull charges
Bounding out of the Toril!
He charges! He enters
He strikes! A horse falls
Dragging a Picador
Ah! Bravo! Toro! The crowd roars!
The bull goes, he comes
He comes and strikes again!
Shaking off his banderillas
Full of fury, he runs!
The circus is full of blood!
People flee, they cross the barriers!
It's your turn now! Let's go!
On guard! Let's go! Let's go! Ah!
Toreador, on guard! Toreador, Toreador!
And think well, yes, think while fighting
That a dark eye is watching you
And that love awaits you
Toreador, love love awaits you!
And think well, yes, think while fighting
That a dark eye is watching you
And that love awaits you
Toreador, love love awaits you!
And think well, yes, think while fighting
That a dark eye is watching you
And that love awaits you
And that love awaits you
Toreador, love awaits you!
Love! Love! Love!
Toreador, Toreador, love awaits you!
