Lyrics

José, Vasquez, Sancho and Inez:

Hand of Fate! We wait thy token.

Voice of Fate! When shall the word be spoken?

Hither lead upon the mountain way,

The man whom we are fated to obey.

Rita: Fate, kind Fate! In hope I wait some token!

Fate, kind Fate! When shall the word be spoken?

Speed, speed my ring upon its homeward way,

Fate! Ah kind Fate! For liberty I pray.

Vasquez (in a feigned voice):

An hour ago, among the hills below,

I came across a strange and foreign face,

He bore a load, he’d lost his road;

And even now is wand’ring t’wards this place.

José: Had he a pack upon his back,

And bags of money in his hand?

Sancho: It matters not what he had got,

We’ll make him captain of our band!

José, Vasquez, Sancho and Inez:

Whoe’er is there we swear we’ll take him,

And make him captain of our band!

All: Hand of Fate! … Fate, kind Fate! …

Written by: Sir Arthur Sullivan, Sir Francis Cowley Burnand
