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
