nighttime - everyone is fast asleep
the moon hovers above the harbor
the water sparkles like lead
nighttime, where dreams are still allowed
and fly away silently
into the darkness
at night, often the sky becomes so bright
cause a shooting star is just falling
and then an angel stands in space (1)
and he can understand Miguel's dream
at night he sees a wall in front of him
big names are written on there
and his name is among them
at night he then is a Matador
someone like El Cordobez (2)
so free, proud and famous
At night, the dreams take him away
And they take him to Madrid
There, in the arena of stone
There he will be some day
(INTERLUDE)
Beneath the scorching sun
He will stand all by himself
Then the future will have begun
La corrida, corrida ole
nighttime - everyone is fast asleep
And a little boy is dreaming
To escape this cold world
At night, his longing carries him away
And he can barely stand it any more
To be a prisoner
at night, often the sky becomes so bright
cause a shooting star is just falling
and then an angel stands in space
and he understands Miguel's dream
Beneath the scorching sun
He will stand all by himself
Then the future will have begun
La corrida, corrida ole
Hey
Olé
