Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote) Lyrics

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 infurled,
now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha,
Destroyer of evil am I.
I will march to the sound 
of the trumpets of glory,
forever to conquer or die!

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!
I am I, Don Quizote, the Lord of La Mancha, 
My destiny calls and I go.
And the wild winds of fortune 
will carry me onward oh whither 
so ever they blow.
Whither so ever they blow.
Onward to glory I go!
