Matador

About Matador

"Matador" (Spanish for "Killer", it means "bullfighter" in Spain) is a song written by Flavio Cianciarulo, bass player of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, a rock band from Argentina. It was first released in their 1993 album Vasos Vacíos and it is considered their signature song since the song topped the charts all across Hispanic America. Alongside "Mal Bicho", "Manuel Santillan, El León" and "Desapariciones" (a cover of Rubén Blades' song), El Matador is one of the Cadillacs song about the oppression and forced disappearances during the years of military dictatorship across the Southern Cone, particularly National Reorganization Process in Argentina. The song narrates the story of a revolutionary ("El Matador") hunted down by law enforcement from the revolutionary's POV. The song also references Víctor Jara, a Chilean folksinger and supporter of the Allende government who was kidnapped, tortured and assassinated shortly after the Chilean coup of 1973 by military officials loyal to the dictator Augusto Pinochet. more »

Me dicen el matador, nací en barracas
si hablamos de matar mis palabras matan
no hare mucho tiempo que cayo el Leon Santillan
why ahora se que en cualquier momento me las van a dar

Me dicen el matador me estan buscando
en una fría pension los estoy esperando
agazapado en lo mas oscuro de mi habitacion
fusil en mano, espero mi final

Matador, matador
donde estas, matador
matador, matador
no te vayas, matador
matador, oh yeah
matador, matado

Viento de libertad sangre combativa
en los bolsillos del pueblo la vieja herida
de pronto el dia se me hare de noche

Murmullos, corridas
aquel golpe en la puerta, llego la fuerza policial

Papapao... ma matador
mira hermano en que terminaste 
por pelear por un mundo mejor

Que suenan, son balas 
me alcanzan, me atrapan
resiste, Victor Jara
no calla.
Matador, matador
matador te estan buscando
matador, matador
matador te estan matando
matador, oh yeah
matador, matador
Me dicen el matador de los 100 barrios portenos
no tengo por que tener miedo mis palabras son balas
balas de paz, balas de justicia
soy la voz de los que hicieros callar sin razon
por el solo hecho de pensar distinto, ay Dios
Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires
si todo estuviera mejor

Matador, matador
si todo estuviera mejor
matador, matador
a donde vas matador
matador
matador, matador
