Answer 1

Just to add to Don's post, 'la muleta' is the small red cape used by the matador in the last part of the corrida (bullfight).

Answer 2

certainly not a cap

a Cape, most likely ... when a bull makes a charge (paseo) at the Matador he will confuse the bull and protect himself with a cape - Muleta too bad none of of you listened carefully to las Letras of the Cancion at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA9AiPzPSz0&NR=1 which is most likely a lament about a Muleta belonging to a Matador killed by a bull

unless you know a VERY little about the culture you can only translate VERY little and unfortunately remain ignorant ..... culture is key !

Answer 3

It's something related with bullfighting. More information there:

"Torear de muleta" "to bullfight with the muleta" - The muleta is something like the red cap, but I didn't understood it too well.
