lyrics

PIEL DE TORO / BULL SKIN

Van pasando las casas de Ciudad Real
Dicen que ancha es Castilla, ancho es también el mar
Piel de toro, no tienes final
Cuando llegue a buen puerto
Me vuelvo a embarcar

Los chicos de RENFE me conocen bien
Me paso la vida de tren en tren
Piel de toro, no tienes final
Cuando llegue a buen puerto
Me vuelvo a embarcar

Conocí a mi esposa en un vagón
Me casé en la cantina de la estación
Piel de toro, no tienes final
Cuando llegue a buen puerto
Me vuelvo a embarcar

-------------------------------------

The houses of Ciudad Real pass me by
They say Castille is wide (2), the sea is also wide
Bull skin (1), you have no end
When I arrive safely (3)
I´ll jump on board again

The people from the Spanish Railway know me well
I spend my life from train to train
Bull skin, you have no end
When I arrive safely
I´ll jump on board again

I met my wife in a coach
I got married in the station cafeteria
Bull skin, you have no end
When I arrive safely
I´ll jump on board again

Notes:

(1) The bull skin: another name for Spain
(2) Ancha es Castilla / Wide is Castilla: Spanish idiomatic expression, meaning to act in complete freedom
(3) The direct translation of this idiomatic expression is "to come to a good (safe) port"
