Man of La Mancha - Golden Helmet of Mambrino (1972)

Music by Mitch Leigh.
Lyrics by Joe Darion.
Sung by Simon Gilbert (dubbing Peter O'Toole), James Coco, Gino Conforti and Men's Chorus.

Lyrics:

Thou Golden Helmet of Mambrino
With so illustrious a past
Too long hast thou been lost to glory
Th'art rediscovered now at last
Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no helm like thee
Thou and I now, ere I die now
Will make golden history

I can hear the cuckoo singing
In the cuckooberry tree

If he says that that's a helmet
I suggest that you agree

But he'll find it is not gold
And will not make him bold and brave

Well, at least he'll find it useful
If he ever needs a shave

Golden Helmet of Mambrino
There can be no helm like thee.
Thou and I now, ere I die now
Will make golden history

Hey junikid, did you upload this song on the day in which Gino Conforti (The Barber) turned 77 years old?

[junikid]

@carlitosbug

Wow, I didn't know but it seems like it. Interesting coincidence.

[RosesNightengales]

Barber: I can hear the cook-koo singing in the cook-koo barry tree..

Sancho: If he says that that's a helmet. I suggest that you agree...

Barber: But he'll find it its not golden, will not make him bold and brave...

Sancho: Well, he'll find it useful if he ever needs a shave....

Gotta love Sancho xD

@flightydancer

Actually it's a shaving basin...you fill it with water and use it to shave.

[TheCarlitosbug]

@junikid Gino Conforti's role as the Barber should've been larger for the remainder of Man of La Mancha after appearing in the Golden Helmet of Mambrino scene, junikid!

Don Quixote, Sancho, Barber, and Men's Chorus: Golden Helmet of Mambrino

There can be no helm like thee

Thou and I now, ere I die now

Will make golden (pause) history

@RosesNightengales

+ AT LEAST!

THAT is Sancho, you dupe!

His majestic silhouette against the sunlight...a man in old armor with a curly sword holding a barber's shaving basin.

[Khalony]

@flightydancer It's not a plate, but a shaving basin. Though yes, it is quite adorable.

This is one of my favorite songs to sing in the shower I do all three parts (except at the end of course since I can't sing harmony with myself, alas). :-D
