About Molinos de Viento

"Molinos de viento" ("Windmills") is a single from the Spanish folk metal group Mägo de Oz and is their most famous and widely known song. This track belongs to their 1998 album La Leyenda de la Mancha, but it was released as a single in 2002 from their live album Fölktergeist with the single "El lago". This song talks about a conversation between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, where the first reprehends the latter about his pessimism and his lack of belief. The actual conversation does not take place in the book. However, Don Quixote's idealism and Sancho's pessimism is a principal theme on it. The song is named after the adventure with the windmills (from the title of the song), where Don Quixote attacks the windmills that he believes to be giants. In 2006, the group recorded the song again for their compilation album The Best Oz.

Si acaso tu no ves
Mas allá de tu nariz
Y no oyes a una flor reír

Si no puedes hablar
Sin tener que oír tu voz
Utilizando el corazón

Amigo sancho escúchame
No todo tiene aquí un porqué
Un camino lo hacen los pies

Hay un mundo por descubrir
Y una vida que arrancar de arrancar
De brazos del guión final

A veces siento al despertar
Que el sueño es la realidad

Bebe, danza, sueña
Siente que el viento
Ha sido echo para ti
Vive, escucha y habla
Usando para ello
El corazón

Siente que la lluvia
Besa tu cara
Cuando haces el amor
Grita con el alma
Grita tan alto
Que de tu vida, tu seas
Amigo el único actor

Sí acaso tu opinión
Cabe en un sí o un no
Y no sabes rectificar

Si puedes definir
El odio o el amor
Amigo que desilusión

No todo es blanco
O negro: es gris
Todo depende del matiz
Busca y aprende a distinguir

La luna puede calentar
Y el sol tus noches acunar
Los arboles mueren de pie

He visto un manantial llorar
Al ver sus aguas ir al mar

Bebe, danza, sueña
Siente que el viento
Ha sido echo para ti
Vive, escucha y habla
Usando para ello
El corazón

Siente que la lluvia
Besa tu cara
Cuando haces el amor
Grita con el alma
Grita tan alto
Que de tu vida, tu seas
Amigo el único actor

Bebe, danza, sueña
Siente que el viento
Ha sido echo para ti
Vive, escucha y habla
Usando para ello
El corazón

Siente que la lluvia
Besa tu cara
Cuando haces el amor
Grita con el alma
Grita tan alto
Que de tu vida, tu seas
Amigo el único actor

Mägo de Oz

Mägo de Oz (Spanish for Wizard of Oz, with a metal umlaut) is a Spanish folk/heavy metal band from Begoña, Madrid formed in mid-1988 by drummer Txus di Fellatio. The band are well known for the strong Celtic feel to their music strengthened through their constant usage of a violinist and flautist. The name for the band was chosen, according to founding member Txus, because "life is a yellow brick road, on which we walk in the company of others searching for our dreams." more »
