El Toro

The sorrows are black bulls
That charge straight at the soul
You gotta handle them gently, quietly
And you gotta take them down hard
Hard and steady
Hard and calm

I’m facing a fierce bull
A fierce bull
Fierce and olé, and olé, and olé
I’m gonna cut off its ears and tail
I’m gonna cut off its ears and tail
Yeah, I already offered it up

To that dark-haired girl in the stands
Who’s in my house, in my heart
I dedicate this to those who love me
To my friends and the fans

I’m facing a bull black as the night
Black, black is its intention
But this bull won’t kill me
This little bull won’t take me out, I’ve got what it takes

It has a bad name, it’s called sorrow
And I’m gonna take it on
And don’t doubt it, I’ll come out on top
I’ll triumph in the ring

I’m facing a fierce bull

I’m facing a fierce bull
I’ve got my horse and everything, all set to ride
This little bull is well-horned
This little bull wants to throw me off to the side

It’s heavy, it’s a lot of weight
But my blades will finish it off
You’ll see it won’t send me to the pit
And in the pit, they’ll shout for me

Olé!

I’m facing a bull black as the night

It has a bad name, it’s called sorrow
And I’m gonna take it on
And don’t doubt it, I’ll come out on top
I’ll triumph in the ring

I’m facing a fierce bull

And I’m gonna take it on
And don’t doubt it, I’ll come out on top
I’ll triumph in the ring

Olé!
Olé!
