I watch the burning sun climb in a morning sky,
And from all sides I hear excited voices cry:
"Today Don Juan will fight the proudest bull of all,
And in the blood-red sand which one will fall"
I am the matador who's won a thousand fights
And just as many girls to while away my nights
But there is one whose love thrills me like heady wine:
I feel no fear of death while she is mine.
Don Juan, braver than brave,
Show us today what you are:
Don Juan, man among men,
Your name will shine like a star
Don Juan, man among men,
Your name will shine like a star.
The time draws very near,
To meet my greatest test:
But, with her eyes on me,
I'll fight my best.
(spoken)
Lord, my whole life has been like a ranging torrent
Sweeping many things in its course that other men only
Dream of:
I valued it cheaply until now . .
But now her love leads me to find peace of mind:
Let me live, let me give my love to her.
Don Juan, braver than brave
Show us today what you are.
Don Juan, man among men,
Your name will shine like a star.
'The end must be in sight, this bull will die for me:
And I think of the one who'll share my victory..
As my search the crowd, my body turns to stone:
I see my lover there, but not alone;
If I can t live for her, then there s no life for me,
So, in this blood-red ring, die Don Juan!
