Musik Hans Blum/Frank Farian
Text: Fred Jay
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 honour has been restored
He was only 19
And 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 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
Soon a fame of his name spread that wild fire
All over the land
With a price on his head
People still gave him bread
And they gave him a hand
For his duty was right
And his fight was their fight.
No one gave you a chance
In the Spain of those days
On the wall 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 ....
