El Lute
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,
when 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 only 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.
Though 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.
No one gave you a chance in the Spain of those days,
on almost 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 line
of a sunny new day
the man they called 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...
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,

Then they changed it to life
and so he could escape.
