Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote) (Man Of La Mancha/1965 Original Broadway Cast/Remastered 2000)

DON QUIXOTE
(Spoken) I shall impersonate a man.
Come! Enter into my imagination and see him; Bony,
hollow-faced, eyes that burn with the fire of inner vision.
He conceives the strangest project ever imagined,
to be on a knight errand,
and sally forth into the world righting all
wrongs. His name, Don Quixote De La Mancha!

Hear me now
Oh thou bleak and unbearable world,
Thou art base and debauched as can be;
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
I am I, Don Quixote,
The Lord of La Mancha,
My destiny calls and I go,
And the wild winds of fortune
Shall carry me onward,
Oh, whithersoever they blow.
Whithersoever they blow,
Onward to glory I go!

SANCHO PANZA
I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho!
I follow my master till the end.
I'll tell all the world proudly
I'm his squire! I'm his friend!

DON QUIXOTE
Hear me, heathens and wizards
And servants of sin!
All your dastardly doings are past,
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last!

DON QUIXOTE & SANCHO
DON QUIXOTE: I am I, Don Quixote
SANCHO: I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho!
DON QUIXOTE: The Lord of la Mancha,
My destiny calls and I go,
DON QUIXOTE: And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward,
Oh whithersoever they blow!
SANCHO: I'll follow my master till the end.
I'll tell all the world proudly
I'm his squire! I'm his friend!

DON QUIXOTE & SANCHO
Whithersoever they blow,
Onward to glory I {we} go!
