Toreador, En Garde
Georges Bizet
Toreador, On Guard
Your toast, I can return it to you
Gentlemen, gentlemen, because with the soldiers
Yes, the bullfighters can get along
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 minds
The spectators calling out loudly!
Apostrophes, cries, and commotion
Pushed to the point of fury!
Because it's the celebration of courage
It's the celebration of people of heart!
Come on! 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!
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!
Suddenly, silence falls
Ah! What's happening?
No more cries, it's the moment!
No more cries, 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! Come on!
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!
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!
Toreador, on guard, Toreador, Toreador!
