Lyrics

Son clarines de la aurora
Que a la gente lleva a la mina
Las campanitas tesoro
Que a ti te lleva a la mina
Torero, ay…
La reina de los toreros
Llora lágrimas muy amargas
Ya se apagaron los soles
Y la muerte por Linares
Va encendiendo sus faroles
Ay, ay, ay,…
Campanas de agonía
Las campanas de Linares
Repicando noche y día
Bajo un cielo de alabares
Ay, torito nervioso
Que estás junto a mí
Invita a que quiere probar su valor
Mirando al tendido sin miedo de ti
La plaza le ciega con su resplandor
El quiere en la arena sembrar un jazmín
Lleva su faena, faena divisa de olor
Ay, ay, ay, las campanas de Linares

Lyrics translation

They are clarines of the dawn
That people take to the mine
The bells treasure
That takes you to the mine
Bullfighter, ay…
The Queen of the bullfighters
She cries very bitter tears
The sun's out.
And death by Linares
He's lighting his lanterns.
Ay, ay, ay,…
Bells of agony
The bells of Linares
Pounding night and day
Under a sky of praises
Oh, nervous torito
That you are beside me
Invite you want to prove your worth
Looking at the lay without fear of you
The square blinds you with its glow
He wants in the sand to plant a jasmine
It wears its work, it wears its smell
Ay, ay, Ay, the bells of Linares
