Don Juan
Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich Lyrics

I watched the burning sun climb in the morning sky
The matador was wide awake to see the sunrise

And from all sides I hear excited voices cry
The excited audience hollered from all directions

Today Don Juan will fight the proudest bull of all
The matador was set to fight the toughest bull in town

And in the blood-red sand which one will fall
Both the matador and the bull will bleed in the red sand

Hey! Don Juan!
A cheer for the brave matador Don Juan

I am the matador who's won a thousand fights
Don Juan is an experienced matador with a record of thousand fights

And just as many girls to while away my nights
He has been with many girls just to pass his nights

But there is one who's love thrills me like heady wine
But he has found the one girl that thrills him like wine

I'll fear no fear of death while she is mine
As long as she is his, he fears no death

Hey! Don Juan!
Another cheer for Don Juan's bravery

Lord, my whole life has been like a raging torrent
Don Juan's life has been tumultuous like a river in flood

Sweeping many things in its course that other men only dream of
He has achieved many things that other men could only wish for

I've valued it so cheaply, until now
He never valued his life much, until he found his love

But now her love leads me to find peace of mind
But now he has found peace of mind in her love

Let me live, let me give, my love to her
He wants to live and share his love with her

The end must be in sight this bull will die for me
The end is near and either the bull or Don Juan will die

And I think of the one who'll share my victory
He thinks of the one who will share his victory

As my eyes search the crowd my body turns to stone
He sees something in the crowd that freezes him

I see my lover there, but not alone
He sees his lover with someone else in the crowd

Hey! Don Juan!
A cheer for Don Juan's bravery, despite his heartbreak

If I can't live for her, then there's no life for me
He only wants to live for his love, else life is meaningless

So in this blood-red ring, die Don Juan!
He faces the bull with the determination to die

Don Juan!
One final cheer for the brave matador
