El Lute Boney M.

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 he 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 El Lute

He had only seen the dark side of life
The man they called El Lute
And he wanted a home just like you and like me
In a country where all would be free

Though he taught himself to read and to write
It didn't help El Lute
He was one who had dared to escape overnight
They had to find El Lute
