Barber'S Song / Golden Helmet (Man Of La Mancha/1965 Original Broadway Cast/Remastered 2000)
Irving Jacobson

Hear me now, O thou bleak and unbearable world Thou art base and debauched as can be And the 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 Shall carry me onward Oh, whithersoever they blow Whithersoever they blow Onward to glory I go! I'm Sancho Yes, I'm Sancho I follow my master till the end I'll tell all the world proudly I'm his squire I'm his friend Hear me, heathens and wizards And servants 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 Quixote (I'm Sancho) The Lord of La Mancha (yes, I'm Sancho) My destiny calls and I go (I'll follow my master till the end) And the wild winds of fortune (I'll tell all) Shall carry me onward (the world proudly) Oh, whithersoever they blow (I'm his squire) (I'm his friend) Whithersoever they blow Onward to glory, I go
