    Aquí dejo los datos de la canción con su letra en inglés. Allá Uds.

    Don Juan
    Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
    Words & music: Howard Blaikley
    First released: 21.02.1968 on Single 'Don Juan' (267 921 TF)
    Running time: 3'03



    I watch the burning sun climb in a morning sky,
    And from all sides I hear excited voices cry:
    Today Don Juan will fight the proudest bull of all
    And in the blood-red sand which one will fall
    I am the matador who's won a thousand fights
    And just as many girls to while away my nights
    But there is one whose love thrills me like heady wine:
    I feel no fear of death while she is mine.

    Don Juan, braver than brave,
    show us today what you are:
    Don Juan, man among men,
    Your name will shine like a star
    Don Juan, man among men,
    Your name will shine like a star.

    The time draws very near,
    To meet my greatest test:
    But, with her eyes on me,
    I'll fight my best.

    (spoken)
    Lord, my whole life has been like a ranging torrent
    Sweeping many things in its course that other men only
    dream of:
    I valued it cheaply until now . .
    But now her love leads me to find peace of mind:
    Let me live, let me give my love to her.

    Don Juan, braver than brave
    Show us today what you are.
    Don Juan, man among men,
    Your name will shine like a star.

    'The end must be in sight, this bull will die for me:
    And I think of the one who'll share my victory..
    As my eyes search the crowd, my body turns to stone:
    I see my lover there, but not alone;
    If I can t live for her, then there s no life for me,
    So, in this blood-red ring, die Don Juan!

    Eata canción es bien interesante, tiene ciertas características de lo que es Don Juan: la mujer, el valor etc.Pero es un poco extraña; hay algunas lineas que me llamron la atención:" Let me live, let me give my love to her".Don Juan realmente no le da amor a ninguna;a menos que se interprete ese "amor" sarcasticamente.

    Por otro lado,en estas lineas:"And I think of the one who'll share my victory..
    As my eyes search the crowd, my body turns to stone:
    I see my lover there, but not alone"; parece un Don Juan que en lugar de ser burlador, ¿es burlado?, ¿y que antes de estar sin su amor prefiere la muerte?

    Quizás estoy bien perdida, pero es mi apreciación.
