Fernando - Gasmac Gilmore

Fernando — he was the matador

he was so proud and elegant

that was what the girls loved him for

when he was a little boy

his childhood’s sad

his mother’s dead

and now he is the espada of corrida de torros

Fernando, face to face

with el torro, Fernando runs

and the muletta dies in the dust of the arena

Fernando runs with el torro

the vuelta al ruedo

deprived and chased away

the ruedo, his disgrace

ripped medias

and he lost his zapatillas

and his father cries as Fernando begs

for his shoes, his zapatillas

oh maria my faithful sister

please darn my broken muletta

Fernando

face to face, with el torro

Fernando runs

and the muletta dies in the dust of the arena

Fernando runs with el torro

the vuelta al ruedo

Fernando runs

the vuelta al ruedo

oh Fernando was the bullfighter, he was the guy that no bull fought for sure

he was the bullfighter, he died beside a dusted bull in the bull’s arena

he died beside a dusted bull

in the bull’s arena
