El Lute lyrics

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 refuse 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 were all would be free
So he taught himself to read and to write
It didn`t help El Lute
He was one who had dare to escape
Over night
They had to find El Lute

Some the fame of his name
Spread like wildfire all over the land
With a price on his head
People still gave him bread
And they gave him a hand
For they knew hi was right
And his fight was their fight

No one gave you a chance
In the Spain of those days
On 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 were all would be free
And the 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
