Lyrics
Islero, ranked number five
In the fight
Second bull
To fight that night
That night
Islero, they blew that trumpet sound
And the horses
Went round and round
Round and round
(Chorus)
Covered in blood and near death
Manolete felt your hot breath
One more pass, one more charge
for the kill….
Islero, what happened
Was not wrong
You were bred for blood
And the song
And the song
Islero, the crowd
Swore you were doomed
Told Manolete
Finish you
Finish you
(chorus)
The sword behind his red cape
Manolete made a mistake
One more pass, one more charge
For the kill
He could not know
your will
(music break)
Islero, you and the man
Take your rest
Death won
Your contest
Contest
The arena will
Always be full
With the men,
the lamb,
and the bull
Islero,
Ranked number five
In the fight
Second bull
He fought that night
