Auf der Straße nach Madrid [English translation]

On the road to Madrid

His dreams he carried with him

And the dust on his roads didn't bother him

For hope carried him towards his goal

And the spanish sun warmed his heart

ON the road to Madrid

He thought at every step

Nobody will take this freedom from him anymore

And for what he does, he will never feel any shame

And poverty will never see him again

For he will always go further

On a cold morning he packed his bundle

He didn't say "adios", didn't look back

He saw the sun awake above the blue sea

Finally he was free, and almost cried for happiness

He walked through fields, lived of olives

He drank the water from the rivers, that he found

He didn't even listen when others called for him

Like a fire, longing had scorched him

But he didn't know any fear

On the road to Madrid

His dreams he carried with him

And he knew, he just had to dare it

Even tho the shadows of his past hunted him

He was an outlaw, but happy as never before

On the road to Madrid,

he thought at every step

Where will this adventure lead me

But he was so sure he could not lose

For the worst part was behind him already

And things could only get better

(INTERLUDE)

On the road to Madrid

His dreams went with him

And that's all he needed for this life

A farmer gave him fresh bread

And another one gave him a ride on his cart

On the road to Madrid

He thought at every step

That some point he would see the destination of his travel

And stand in the arena as a matador

And the crowd would celebrate him passionately

For his dream couldn't leave him no peace

And from Léon he went further to Villada

Then to Valencia all the way to Valladolid

Through the mountains of Castile and Segovia

And the roadsigns already led to Madrid

But out of fear, they could discover him before his destination

He took the road into the mountains

And decided to hide out for a while

And from there he looked back one last time

Onto the road that leads to Madrid

Onto the road that leads to Madrid

Onto the road that leads to Madrid

Onto the road that leads to Madrid
