long ago in a simpler time when pirates role the sea there lived a brave and righteous man who fought to keep man free
he fought to keep man free
He fell in love with maiden fair
a girl with emerald eyes
then one day pirates stole ashore
and took her as their prize
the girl with emerald eyes
they dragged her screaming to their ship
they introduced her to the whip
they drank and swore
and made her party to their sins
and there our tell begins
Somewhere he waits
somewhere out there
and soon he'll run to me
and save the day
for what you've done to me
he'll make you pay
somewhere he waits
scoundrels beware
Out of the blue he'll appear, El Bravo
soon you will tremble in fear, El Bravo
friend of the weak
and the poor and the meek
El Bravo, El Bravo
Pirates! have your way with her!
Do what you will
cowards and swine
attack and bully me
and crack your whips
no cry in agony
will pass my lips
my heart is his
his strength is mine
Where is the man I adore, El Bravo
(Ḍnde està mi amor)
Where can your lover boy be, El Bravo
maybe he stopped for some tea, El Bravo
maybe he's drunk
or perhaps he's depressed
or he's ill or he's dead
or he's still getting dressed
El Bravo,El Bravo, El Bravo
El Bravo
Maiden, do not be afraid, El Bravo
free her or die by the blade, El Bravo
friend of the weak
and the poor and the meek
and the chained and the pained
and the soon to be dead
and the sad and the sick
and he's just in the nick of time
El Bravo,El Bravo, El Bravo.El Bravo
My heart is his
his strength was mine
gone is the man I adore
El Bravo
