Full lyrics
Fui ver uma tourada
Lá na Escada de um toureiro de valor
Veja o senhor, mas quando na hora marcada
Que trapalhada, o toureiro não chegou.
Me apresentaram como seu substituto
Fiquei maluco vendo aquela
Ouvi as moças me aplaudir lá da bancada
Senti uma pontada bem dentro do coração.
Caí na arena e recebi tanta chifrada
Quase que morro nas suas ponta afiada
Bati a mão na faca e gritei para o poleiro:
Eu mato o cara que disse que eu sou toureiro!
Translation
I went to see a bullfight
There at Escada, by a valiant bullfighter
Look, sir, but when at the appointed time
What a mess, the bullfighter didn't arrive.
They introduced me as his substitute
I went crazy seeing that scene
I heard the girls applauding me from the stands
I felt a pang right inside my heart.
I fell into the arena and received so many horn thrusts
I almost died on its sharp horns
I hit my hand on the knife and shouted to the gallery:
I'll kill the guy who said I'm a bullfighter!
