Man of La Mancha: Man of La Mancha

DON QUIXOTE

Hear me now

Oh thou bleak and unbearable world,

Thou art base and debauched as can be;

And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled

Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

I am I, Don Quixote,

The Lord of La Mancha, þ

My destiny calls and I go,

And the wild winds of fortune

Will carry me onward,

Oh whithersoever they blow.

Whithersoever they blow,

Onward to glory I go!

SANCHO PANZA

I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho!

I'll follow my master till the end.

I'll tell all the world proudly

I'm his squire! I'm his friend!

DON QUIXOTE

Hear me, heathens and wizards

And serpents of sin!

All your dastardly doings are past,

For a holy endeavor is now to begin

And virtue shall triumph at last!

DON QUIXOTE

I am I, Don Quixote,

The Lord of la Mancha,

My destiny calls and I go,

And the wild winds of fortune

Will carry me onward,

Oh whithersoever they blow!

SANCHO

I'm Sancho! Yes, I'm Sancho!

I'll follow my master till the end.

I'll tell all the world proudly

I'm his squire! I'm his friend!

DON QUIXOTE, SANCHO

Whithersoever they blow,

Onward to glory I {we} go!
