This is the story of El Lute
|
A man who was born to be hunted like a wild animal
|
Because he was poor
|
But he refused to accept his fate
|
And today his honor has been restored
|
|
He was only nineteen
|
And he was sentenced to die
|
For something that somebody else did
|
And blamed on El Lute
|
Then they changed it to life
|
And so he could escape
|
From then on they chased him
|
And searched for him day and night
|
all over Spain
|
But the search was in vain for El Lute
|
|
He had only seen the dark side of life
|
The man they called El Lute
|
And he wanted a home just like you and like me
|
In a country where all would be free
|
So he taught himself to read and to write
|
It didn't help El Lute
|
He was one who had dared to escape overnight
|
They had to find El Lute
|
|
Soon the fame of his name
|
Spread like wild fire all over the land
|
With a price on his head
|
People still gave him bread
|
And they gave him a hand
|
For they knew he was right
|
And his fight was their fight
|
|
No one gave you a chance
|
In the Spain of those days
|
On the walls every place they had put up
|
The face of El Lute
|
And he robbed where he could just like once Robin Hood
|
They finally caught him and
|
That seemed the end
|
But they caught him in vain
|
Cause a change came for Spain
|
And El Lute
|
|
He had only seen the dark side of life
|
The man they called El Lute
|
And he wanted a home just like you and like me
|
In a country where all would be free
|
And then freedom really came to his land
|
And also to El Lute
|
Now he walks in the light of a sunny new day
|
The man they called El Lute
|
