Lyrics
Ho Torero…
cu' sti basette a' sudamericano,
cu' 'nu sicario avana e 'a cammesella 'e picche'!..
Torero…
Torero…
Ole'…
Tu pierde 'o suonno 'ncopp''e giurnalette
e mamme te minaccia
e patete s’arrangia.
Te fanno gira' a' capa sti ''fumette,''
guardannote 'into' 'o specchio
vuoi fare il Toreador
comme fanno a Santafe',
comme fanno ad ''Ollivud"
e cu' sta scusa, oi ni, nun studie cchiu'…
Ho! Torero!
te si' piazzato 'ncapo stu sombrero,
dice che si' spagnuolo e nun e' overo
che nacchere 'in t''a sacca vai a balla'
mescolando bolero e ''cia'-cia' «chi vuo' 'mbruglia'!
Torero!..
cu' sti basette a' sudamericano
cu' 'nu sicario avana e 'a cammesella 'e picche'…
Torero…
Torero…
Ole!..
te fatto 'a giacchettella corta, corta,
'o cazunciello astritto
e 'o ricciurillo 'n fronte
te ride 'a gente areto e nun te 'mporta
ti senti un Marlon Brando
che a spasso se ne va
per le vie di Santafe'
per le strade di «Ollivud.»
e 'a 'nnammurata toia nun te vo' cchiu'…
Ho Torero…
e levatillo 'a capo stu sombrero,
nun si' spagnuolo e nun si' cabballero…
sti nacchere tu nun 'e saie suna'
e sti nacchere tu che ne 'a fa… belo 'e mamma…
Torero!..
cu' sti basette a' sud americano,
cu' 'nu sicario avana e 'a cammesella 'e picche'…
Torero…
Torero…
Ole…
Ho!
Torero…
cu' sti basette a' sud americano,
cu' 'nu sicario avana e 'a cammesella 'e picche'…
Torero…
Torero…
Ole…
Ole…
Lyrics translation
Ho Torero…
cu 'sti basette a' South American,
with ''no sicario Havana is a cammesella 'and spades'!..
Bullfighter…
Bullfighter…
Ole'…
You lose 'O suonno' ncopp " and journalette
and moms threaten you
and goofy's fine.
They make you spin ' a 'capa sti" fumette,"
they look at you' into 'or mirror
do you want to be a Toreador
comme do a Santafe',
comme do ad " Ollivud"
and I'm sorry, oi ni, I'm not studying the law.…
Ho! Bullfighter!
te si 'placed' ncapo Stu sombrero,
he says he is Spanish and nun is overo
what nacchere 'in T" A Bag Go To Dance'
mixing bolero and " cia '- cia '"who wants 'mbruglia'!
Bullfighter!..
cu 'sti basette a' South American
with ''no sicario Havana is' a cammesella 'and spades'…
Bullfighter…
Bullfighter…
Ole!..
you made a short jacket, short,
'O cazunciello astritto
it's either curly ' n forehead
you laugh 'at people areto and nun Te' mporta
you feel like a Marlon Brando
who walks away
through the streets of Santafe'
on the streets of " Ollivud.»
it's a 'nnammurata Toia nun te vo'cchiu'…
Ho Torero…
and he took over Stu sombrero.,
nun yes Spanish and nun yes cabballero…
you know, you're not gonna call.
and you know what I mean?…
Bullfighter!..
cu 'sti basette a' sud americano,
with ''no sicario Havana is' a cammesella 'and spades'…
Bullfighter…
Bullfighter…
Ola…
Ho!
Bullfighter…
cu 'sti basette a' sud americano,
with ''no sicario Havana is' a cammesella 'and spades'…
Bullfighter…
Bullfighter…
Ola…
Ola…
