Zorro is a fictional character created in 1919 by New York-based pulp writer Johnston McCulley. The character has been featured in numerous books, films, television series, and other media.
Zorro (Spanish for "Fox") is the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega, a nobleman and master living in the Spanish colonial era of California. The character has undergone changes through the years, but the typical image of him is a dashing black-clad masked outlaw who defends the people of the land against tyrannical officials and other villains. Not only is he much too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to catch, but he delights in publicly humiliating those same foes.
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.
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, on their honeymoon, selected the story as the inaugural picture for their new studio, United Artists, beginning the character's cinematic tradition. The story was adapted as The Mark of Zorro (1920), a film which was a success. McCulley's story was re-released by the publisher Grosset & Dunlap under the same title, to tie in with the film.

God made this glorious day and over arching sky
For rolling in the hay and watching clouds go by
God made this single day for sinners everywhere
So fill your heart with abandon
And drink in the golden air
We shared signs of bad design
But have we lost the plot
It's not the world we saw for ourselves
But it's the only one we've got
God made this beautiful day for sinners everywhere
And if your ears are burning, maybe I'm thinking of you
They haven't written the guidebook yet
A set of rules that really fit
We make our own up bit by bit
Seven levels below
Acknowledge if you will this peaceful perfect night
How still the day seems now the lips been starved of light
Under the moon and stars the freaks come out to play
Whatever gets you through it
Hey brother that's ok
They haven't written the guidebook yet
A set of rules that really fit
We make our own up bit by bit
Seven levels below

Tout 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...
