Fear lyrics

Blue is the color of the red sky
Will he, will he come home tonight?
Blue is the color that she feels inside
Matador I can't hide my fear anymore

Matador no puedo esconder mi temor

Matador I can't hide my fear anymore
Azul es el color del rojo cielo
Volvera, volvera a mi esta noche
Azul es el color que siente a dentro
Matador no puedo esconder mi temor
