Golden Helmet of Mambrino lyrics
by Mandy Patinkin
[DON QUIXOTE]
Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino
With so illustrious a past
Too long hast thou been lost to glory
Thou art rediscovered now at last!
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no hat like thee!
Thou and I now, 'ere I die now
Will make golden history!
[BARBER]
I can hear the cuckoo singing
In the cuckooberry tree
[SANCHO]
If he says that that's a helmet
I suggest that you agree
[BARBER]
But he'll find it is not gold
And will not make him bold and brave
[SANCHO]
Well, at least he'll find it useful
If he ever needs a shave!
[DON QUIXOTE]
Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino
Thy deeds the world will not forget
Now Don Quixotе de La Mancha
Will bring thee greater glory yеt!
[DON QUIXOTE, BARBER, SANCHO & MULETEERS]
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no hat like thee!
[DON QUIXOTE]
Thou and I now, 'ere I die now
Will make golden history!
[BARBER, SANCHO & MULETEERS]
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
Will make golden history!
