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
en 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 him 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 vainCause a change came for Spain And El Lute

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
