DON QUIXOTE 
 Hand over that golden helmet! 
 
 BARBER 
 But this is a shaving basin! 
 
 DON QUIXOTE 
 Shaving basin! Know thou not what this really is? 
 
 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 hat like thee! 
 Thou and I now, ere I die now, 
 Will make golden history! 
 
 BARBER 
 (aside to Sancho) 
 I can hear the cuckoo singing 
 In the cuckooberry tree... 
 
 SANCHO 
 (aside to Barber) 
 If he says that that's a helmet, 
 I suggest that you agree... 
 
 BARBER 
 (aside to Sancho) 
 But he'll find it is not gold 
 And will not make him bold and brave... 
 
 SANCHO 
 (aside to Barber) 
 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 Quixote de La Mancha, 
 Will bring thee greater glory yet! 
 
 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!
