El Cid The Champion lyrics

The whispering winds Promise solitude to me; The open steppe is the Blessing of the free! My horse's riding wild Underneath the sky; With sword held up high I embrace eternity! I long for my queen, For the days in castile: To breathe again the air That filled my heart with hope To stand against the moor, With his scimitar to clash My destiny lies revealed Here on the bloody battlefield! My horse's riding wild Underneath the sky; With sword held up high I embrace eternity! El cid campeador, Mighty alférez of old Stand and deliver Thy land from these dogs! Rodrigo díaz, in our hearts You will never die! A hero, a symbol, Immortal champion: Bear far thy standard On that foundered shore!
