El Toro Y La Luna [English translation]

The moon is combing her hair

In the mirrors of the river

And a bull is looking at her

Hidden among the thicket

When the bright morning comes

And the moon escapes from the river

The little bull gets into the water

Thrashing it on seeing that she's gone

And that bull in love with the moon

Abandons the herd at night

And is coated with poppy and olives

And he took a leap1 at the foreman

The rosemaries of the mountains kiss his forehead

The stars and constellations bathe him in silver

And the little bull is fierce and of valiant caste

Colorful fans seem to be his feet

La la laaaa lala la la la lala laaaaala

La la laaaa lala la la la lala laaaaala

La la laaaa lala la la la lala laaaaala

La la laaaa lala la la la lala laaaaala

The rosemaries of the mountains kiss his forehead

The stars and constellations bathe him in silver

And the little bull is fierce and of valiant caste

Colorful fans seem to be his feet

The moon comes out tonight

With a black tailcoat

And a bull is looking at her

Between the thicket and the shadow

And in the face of the the river's water

Where sleeps the Mistress of the Moon2

The little bull of a fierce breed

Watches over her like a sentry

And that bull in love with the moon

Abandons the herd at night

And is coated with poppy and olives

And he took a leap at the foreman

The rosemaries of the mountains kiss his forehead

The stars and constellations bathe him in silver

And the little bull is fierce and of valiant caste

Colorful fans seem to be his feet

Colorful fans seem to be his feet

1. A campanero is a dance step consisting of a leap2. There is no definition for lunera, it's a made-up word that is used in children's songs as a rhyme. I used mistress of the moon as that is what the bull seems to see
