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
