Lyrics:

La muerte, todo llena de agujeros,
y cuernos de su mismo desenlace,
bajo una piel de toro pisa y pace
un luminoso prado de toreros.

Volcánicos bramidos, humos fieros
de general amor por cuanto nace,
a llamaradas echa mientras hace
morir a los tranquilos ganaderos.

Ya puedes, amorosa fiera hambrienta,
pastar mi corazón, trágica grama,
Si te gusta lo amargo de su asunto.

Un amor hacia todo me atormenta
como a ti, y hacia todo se derrama
mi corazón vestido de difunto.

Translation:

Death, all full of holes, and horns of its own undoing, treads beneath a bull's skin and grazes on a shining bullfight meadow.

In volcanic roars and savage pride it flares, with a universal love for all that's born, while killing the tranquil cowboys.

Now you may, you loving hungry beast, graze upon my heart, a tragic grass, if you like the bitterness of its essence.

A love towards everything tortures me, as it does you, and my heart dressed like a corpse spills out towards everything.
