Amante Torreo to English

Hi all, can someone translate?? Thanks.



Amante torreo

Contigo yo era un joven novillero
que ingenuo se entregaba a tus caricias
más de mirar al sol tendido al ruedo
torero quise ser de mi desdicha
tome la alternativa en mi agonia
vestido de pasión en oro y plata
que haciendo de tu entrega una faena
lidiaba tus sensuales embestidas

Amante torero
corazón de torero yo tengo
que con arte yo templo tus besos
aunque arriesgue la vida por ellos
amante torero
eso soy yo tu amante torero
que se planta valiente en el ruedo
desafiando de cerca tu cuerpo
amante torero
amante torero

Ahora que la lidia se termina
en suaves trincherazos te doblego
y al encontrar en tí casta divina
merece que te indulte con mis besos

The problem with this song, at least for me that knows nothing about bullfighting, is that it uses many terms mostly used in bullfighting. However I'll try even though I don't know the actual English terms for them as they pertain to bullfighting.

Hope this helps a bit to get an idea of the song.

He is basically comparing their courtship to a bullfight and she would be the bull.
