Jaime Bravo
Available on:Lyrics:
Oh my, look at you go by
It's so nice just to see you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
It feels right here in the sunlight
And this ride is almost through
Oh oooh-oooh
Oh oooh-oooh
So goodbye and goodnight
I can't hide holding a bullseye
A bullfighter and his crew
It's so nice here in the sunlight
And this ride is almost through
Oh oooh-oooh
Oh oooh-oooh
So goodbye and goodnight
Goodbye and goodnight
Goodbye
[Spoken]
La trapezista camina por la cuerda floja
Desde el D. F. y todo el mundo
Y ultimo a Zacatecas
So nice here in the sunlight
A bullfighter and his crew
Oh oooh-oooh
Oh oooh-oooh
So goodbye and goodnight
Goodbye and goodnight
Goodbye and goodnight
Goodbye
Notes:
The spoken Spanish segment roughly translates to:
A bullfighter walks the tighrope
From Mexico City an all (around) the world
And finally to Zacatecas
Definitions and References:
Jaime Bravo was a bull fighter from the 1950s and 60s. He grew up in the ghettos of Mexico City (sometimes abbreviated DF similar to how the USA capital is sometimes abbreviated DC). He escaped by joining the circus as a trapeze artist before eventually stowing on a ship to Cuba and then Spain where he became a top matador, well known for his death defying acts.
Eventually, he returned home, continuing to bull fight. He began looking for a career that might suit him once he retired and wound up in a couple Hollywood films including Call of a Bull and Love Has Many Faces.
Jaime died, ironically considering his death-defying life, in a car accident along with his driver in Zacatecas, Mexico.
