Zorro
Zorro (Spanish for "fox") is the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega, a fictional character created in 1919 by pulp writer Johnston McCulley. He is a Californio nobleman of Spanish and Native Californian descent, living in Los Angeles during the era of Mexican rule (between 1821 and 1846), although some movie adaptations of Zorro's story have placed him during the earlier Spanish rule.
The character has undergone changes through the years, but the typical image of him is a dashing black-clad masked outlaw who defends the commoners and indigenous peoples of the land against tyrannical officials and other villains. Not only is he too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to catch, but he also delights in publicly humiliating them.
The character has been featured in numerous books, films, television series, and other media. Juan Nepomuceno Cortina and Joaquin Murrieta are cited as inspirations for Zorro.
Publishing history
Zorro debuted in McCulley's 1919 story The Curse of Capistrano, serialized in five parts in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly. At the denouement, Zorro's true identity is revealed to all.
Zorro (1975 film)
Zorro is a 1975 Italian/French film based on the character created by Johnston McCulley. Directed by Duccio Tessari, it stars French actor Alain Delon as Zorro. Filmed in Spain, this Italian movie has many spaghetti western elements to it.
Plot
On the eve of his return to Spain from the New World, Diego de la Vega (Alain Delon) meets his old friend Miguel de la Serna (Marino Masé), who is about to take up the governorship of Nueva Aragón - after his uncle Don Fernando died of “malaria” in a malaria-free region.
Diego vainly warns the idealistic Miguel that Nueva Aragón is ruled by greed and hatred; later that very evening Miguel is assassinated by Colonel Huerta's hirelings. Diego vows to avenge Miguel by taking his place, but not before a dying Miguel makes Diego swear "the new governor will never kill."
As Colonel Huerta (Stanley Baker) asks the local council to appoint him both military and civil governor of Nueva Aragón, Diego walks in, disguised as de la Serna. While lulling Colonel Huerta's fears by pretending to be a useless fop, Diego learns that Huerta is a cruel despot as well as a dangerous swordsman.

Zorro
by: PleymoTout semblait sourire à Zorro
Quand il décide de faire escroc
De basculer pour palper gros, repartir à zéro.
Lui qu'aimait pourtant pas les soucis, fût en cinq sec servi !
(c'est 5 sets mec !)
Il m'a dit :
"Je paie cher, de ma vie
C'est l'enfer qui me suit mais qui me tient debout aussi !
Je paie fort, de ma vie
C'est mon sort qui me suit, ma folie"
C'est enfin le sommet, la gloire
Le type se met alors à croire
Que rien n'arrêtera son réseau
Sauf si on le plante dans le dos !
Voilà pourquoi Zorro tomba de haut en bas
Il me dit en face, juste comme ça :
"Je paie cher, de ma vie
C'est l'enfer qui me suit mais qui me tient debout aussi !
Je paie fort, de ma vie
C'est mon sort qui me suit, ma folie"
Un bien mal acquis, ne profite jamais
Zorro en fait les frais et prends le maquis
Il prie, il se cache
Il attend que passe le vent.
Puis s'installe, se refait plus fort
Tout recommence, le biz, la transe
On ne change pas ! même si parfois...
On paie cher, de nos vies.
C'est l'enfer qui nous suit mais qui maintient debout aussi !
On paie fort, de nos vies
On reste les mêmes, c'est ainsi...
