...
Tout d'un coup, on fait silence.
Ah! que se passe-t-il?
Plus de cris, c'est l'instant!
Le taure s'élance
en bondissant hors du Toril!
Il s'élance! il entre, il frappe!
Un cheval roule, entraînt un Picador.
"Ah! bravo! Toro!" hurle la foule!
Le taurau va, il vient,
il vient et frappe encor!
En secouant ses banderilles
plein de fuerer, il court!
Le cirque est plein de sang!
On se sauve, on franchit les grilles!
C'est ton tour maintemant!
Allons! en garde! allons! allons! ah!
Toréador, en garde! Toréador! Toréador!
Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant,
qu'un œil noir te regarde
et que l'amour t'attend!
Toréador, l'amour, l'amour t'attend!
...

...
Suddenly, there's utter silence,
Ah, what is happening?
No more shouts: this is the moment!
The bull dashes out,
rushing from the pen!
He dashes out! He comes, he strikes!
A horse falls, dragging down a Picador.
"Ah, Bravo! Toro!" yells the crowed!
The bull withdrawes, returns,
and strikes again!
Shaking his banderillas,
full of fury, he charges!
The ring is full of blood!
All rush for safety, clamber over the gates
It's his turn now!
Allons! On guard! Allons, allons! Ah!
Toreador, on guard! Toreador! Toreador!
And remember, remember as you fight
that dark eyes are watching you
and that love awaits you!
Toreador, love, love is waiting!
