In the days of old in La Mancha land,
a noble knight, his quest so grand,
Don Quixote, and true,
With his faithful squire, the world they'd view.
Oh, Don Quixote, man of dreams,
Gallant knight of schemes,
With lance and shield, he rides so bold,
tales of chivalry, his story's told.
With armour rusted heart so pure,
To right all wrongs, his oath sure,
On Rocinante, his steed so tall,
He'd fight honour, justice for all.
Through windmills' arms, he'd charge might,
Mistaking them for giants in the night,
For of Dulcinea, his lady fair,
In every deed, she always there.
By inns and taverns, through fields of gold,
He sought adventures, stories to unfold,
With Sancho Panza, loyal friend,
By his side until the very end.
wisdom simple, Sancho tried,
To show the truth where lied,
But Quixote’s vision, noble and grand,
Saw only magic in every land.
From castle halls to gypsy camps,
Through starry nights and misty damps,
They journeyed far, near and wide,
With dreams and hopes, their only guide.
In battles fought and kindness shown,
A legend grew, fame had grown,
Though mocked by many, loved by few,
Their spirits high, their hearts so true.
But time take its final toll,
As dreams fade out and unfold,
Quixote, weary, laid down his arms,
Returning home distant charms.
In peace he rested, his quest now done,
A hero's journey, a life well-spun,
And though he's gone, his tale remains,
A beacon bright through joy and pains.
So sing we now of Quixote's fight,
A knight old with heart so light,
In every heart his shall stay,
A timeless tale of Don Quixote's way.
