El-Lute lyrics

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 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 Fernando

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breaking up is never easy, I know, but I have to go

Knowing me, knowing you, it's the best I can do

Soon the fame of his name

Spread like wildfire 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 you 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 vain

'Cause a change came for Spain

And Fernando

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you, aha

We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breaking up is never easy, I know, but I have to go

Knowing me, knowing you, it's the best I can do

He was only nineteen

And was sentenced to die 

He was only nineteen

And was sentenced to die

He was only nineteen

And was sentenced to die  

He was only nineteen

And was sentenced to die  

He was only nineteen

And was sentenced to die  

He was only nineteen

And was sentenced to die
