Don Juan
Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick Lyrics

I watched the burning sun climb in the morning sky
As the sun rises, I anticipate today's battle with great excitement.

And from all sides I hear excited voices cry
People are buzzing with excitement about the bullfight today.

Today Don Juan will fight the proudest bull of all
Today I face my greatest test and will fight the strongest bull yet.

And in the blood-red sand which one will fall
The bull and I will fight to the death, and only one of us will come out alive.

Hey! Don Juan!
People are cheering for me and calling my name.

I am the matador who's won a thousand fights
I have a lot of experience fighting bulls and have been successful in the past.

And just as many girls to while away my nights
I have had many romantic partners to keep me company after fights.

But there is one who's love thrills me like heady wine
Despite having many lovers, there is one who stands out to me and their love excites me.

I'll fear no fear of death while she is mine
As long as I have her love, I won't be afraid of dying during the bullfight.

Don Juan, braver than brave
I am incredibly courageous and have no fear when it comes to the bullfight.

Show us today what you are
Today's bullfight will showcase my skills as a matador.

Don Juan, man amon men
I am the greatest matador of all time.

Your name will shine like a star
My name will go down in history and be remembered for generations to come.

The time draws very near to meet my greatest test
The bullfight is quickly approaching and this will be my greatest challenge yet.

But with her eyes on me I'll fight my best
I will fight my hardest as long as I know she is watching me.

Lord, my whole life has been like a raging torrent
My life has been full of excitement, constantly moving and changing direction like a river.

Sweeping many things in its course that other men only dream of
I have accomplished things in my life that most people only dream of achieving.

I've valued it so cheaply, until now
I didn't truly appreciate my life and accomplishments until I fell in love.

But now her love leads me to find peace of mind
Her love has given me a sense of peace and contentment I've never felt before.

Let me live, let me give, my love to her
I want to continue living and loving her for as long as possible.

The end must be in sight this bull will die for me
The bullfight is coming to an end and one of us will die.

And I think of the one who'll share my victory
I'm looking for my lover in the crowd, knowing we'll celebrate my victory together.

As my eyes search the crowd my body turns to stone
As I look for my lover, I become frozen in place.

I see my lover there, but not alone
I find my lover in the crowd, but she's not alone - she's with another man.

If I can't live for her, then there's no life for me
If I can't be with my lover, life is not worth living for me.

So in this blood-red ring, die Don Juan!
I am willing to die in this bullfight if it means being with my lover in the afterlife.

Don Juan!
The crowd cheers for me one final time before the end of the bullfight.
