Lyrics:

This is the story of El LuteA man who was born to be hunted like a wild animalBecause he was poorBut he refused to accept his fateAnd today his honor has been restoredHe was only nineteenAnd he was sentenced to dieFor something that somebody else didAnd blamed on El LuteThen they changed it to lifeAnd so he could escapeFrom then on they chased himAnd searched for him day and night all over SpainBut the search was in vain for El LuteHe had only seen the dark side of lifeThe man they called El LuteAnd he wanted a home just like you and like meIn a country where all would be freeThough he taught himself to read and to writeIt didn''t help El LuteHe was one who had dared to escape overnightThey had to find El LuteSoon the fame of his nameSpread like wild fire all over the landWith a price on his head people still gave him breadAnd they gave him a handFor they knew he was rightAnd his fight was their fightNo-one gave you a chanceIn the Spain of those daysOn the walls every place they had put upThe face of El LuteAnd he robbed where he couldJust like once Robin HoodThey finally caught him and that seemed the endBut they caught him in vain''Cause a change came for SpainAnd El LuteHe had only seen the dark side of lifeThe man they called El LuteAnd he wanted a home just like you and like meIn a country where all would be freeAnd then freedom really came to his landAnd also to El LuteNow he walks in the light of a sunny new dayThe man they called El LuteHe had only seen the dark side of lifeThe man they called El LuteAnd he wanted a home just like you and like meIn a country where all would be freeAnd then freedom really came to his landAnd also to El LuteNow he walks in the light of a sunny new dayThe man they called El LuteHe had only seen the dark side of lifeThe man they called El LuteAnd he wanted a home just like you and like meIn a country where all would be free
