Eurovision 1973 Portugal:
Fernando Tordo - "Tourada"
Tourada
Não importa sol ou sombra
Camarotes ou barreiras
Toureamos ombro a ombro as feras
Ninguém nos leva ao engano
Toureamos mano a mano
Só nos podem causar dano esperas
Entram guizos, chocas e capotes
E mantilhas pretas
Entram espadas, chifres e derrotes
E alguns poetas
Entram bravos, cravos e dichotes
Porque tudo mais são tretas
Entram vacas depois dos forcados
Que não pegam nada
Soam brados e olés dos nabos
Que não pagam nada
E só ficam os peões de brega
Cuja profissão não pega
Com bandarilhas de esperança
Afugentamos a fera
Estamos na praça da primavera
Nós vamos pegar o mundo
Pelos cornos da desgraça
E fazermos da tristeza graça
Entram velhas, doidas e turistas
Entram excursões
Entram benefícios e cronistas
Entram aldrabões
Entram marialvas e coristas
Entram galifões de crista
Entram cavaleiros à garupa
Do seu heroísmo
Entra aquela música maluca
Do passodoblismo
Entra a aficionada e a caduca
Mais o snobismo e cismo
Entram empresários moralistas
Entram frustrações
Entram antiquários e fadistas
E contradições
E entra muito dólar, muita gente
Que dá lucro aos milhões
E diz o inteligente que acabaram as cançõeѕ
La la lа…
Bullfight
It doesn't matter, sun or shade
Cabins or barriers
We fight the beasts shoulder to shoulder
Nobody deceives us
We fight hand in hand
Only waiting can hurt us
Bells, cowbells and capes are coming in
And black mantillas
Swords, horns and derrotes are coming in
And some poets
Brave people, carnations and swear words are coming in
Because everything else is bullshit
Cows are coming in after the forcados
Who don't catch at all
Shouts and olés of the idiots
Who pay nothing are sounding
And only the bullfighter's helpers are left
Whose job doesn't fit
With hopeful banderillas
We keep off the beast
We're in the spring bullring
We're going to grab the world
By the horns of misfortune
And let's make fun of sadness
Old women, crazy women and tourists are coming in
Excursions are coming in
Benefits and columnists are coming in
Tricksters are coming in
Marialvas and choristers are coming in
Cockies with combs are coming in
Knights are coming in on the back
Of their heroism
That crazy music is coming in
Called Paso Doble
The fan and the decrepit are coming in
And also the snobbery and the daydreaming
Moralistic business people are coming in
Frustrations are coming in
Antiquaries and fado singers are coming in
And contradictions
A lot of dollars are coming in, many people
Who make a profit of millions
And the intelligent man says that songѕ are over
La la lа…
