Lyrics: El Cordobes

A hot sunny day Some musicians play The chords of an old pasodoble The moment is near For the thousands that cheer The name of the great matador In the wings where she whispered 'never say die' Ohoh never say die Only cold perspiration invades his keen eye It's the moment we are waiting for El Cordobes like a real cumbanchero Ay ay ay ay he's the great matador El Cordobes cumbanchi cumbanchero Ay ay ay ay he's the man we adore I fear the end of the show A shivering thrill then we go In the heat of the fight He trembles inside Never praise the day before it's over He's starting to choke To the finishing stroke The crowd's only crying for more In the wings where she whispered 'never say die' Ohoh never say die Only cold perspiration invades his keen eye It's the moment we are waiting for El Cordobes like a real cumbanchero Ay ay ay ay he's the great matador El Cordobes cumbanchi cumbanchero Ay ay ay ay he's the man we adore I fear the end of the show A shivering thrill then we go El Cordobes like a real cumbanchero Ay ay ay ay he's the great matador El Cordobes cumbanchi cumbanchero Ay ay ay ay he's the man we adore I fear the end of the show A shivering thrill then we go El Cordobes!
