Lyrics Man Of La Mancha (From Man Of La Mancha) - Colm Wilkinson
CERVANTES
I
shall
impersonate
a
man.
His
name...
Alonso
Quijana...
a
country
squire,
No
longer
young.
Being
retired,
he
has
much
time
for
books.
He
studies
Them
from
morn
to
night
and
often
through
the
night
again.
And
all
he
reads
oppresses
him...
Fills
him
with
indignation
at
man's
murderous
ways
toward
man.
He
ponders
the
problem
Of
how
to
make
better
a
world
Where
evil
brings
profit
and
virtue
none
at
all.
He
lays
down
the
melancholy
burden
of
sanity
And
conceives
the
strangest
project
ever
imagined...
To
become
a
knight-errant,
And
sally
forth
into
the
world
in
search
of
adventures;
To
right
all
wrongs;
To
mount
a
crusade;
To
raise
up
the
weak
and
those
in
need.
No
longer
will
he
be
plain
Alonso
Quijana...
But
a
dauntless
knight
known
as
-
Don
Quixote
de
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,
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!
Whithersoever
they
blow,
Onward
to
glory
I
go!
