But he was not satisfied with his fate And today his honor has been restored. He was nineteen and poor and sentenced to death But everyone knew that the culprit was not El Lute. He was pardoned and given a life sentence He dreamed of escaping and left no stone unturned Until he finally escaped and thus the hunt for El Lute began. He never saw the light of the sun, they called him El Lute. All he wanted was a home and more bread, and an end to hunger and want. But Spain was no country for someone like El Lute back then, but because he stood for the rights of all those without rights, they were for El Lute. And word got around that it wasn't just about El Lute. Here was someone like them and he never bowed down, their hopes rose, because his victory was their victory. Because his victory was their victory. Up and down through the land the endless hunt went, wherever he was, there was a picture of El Lute hanging everywhere. He was like Robin Hood and things went well for a long time. Then the trap closed, the end seemed near, but a miracle happened in the sunny land of El Lute. He never saw the light of the sun, they called him El Lute. All he wanted was a home and more bread, and an end to hunger and want. And a new morning came to the land, It also came for El Lute, Because the freedom that applies to the people there today, It also applies to El Lute. #MichaelHolm #ElLute
