Eldorado - Goombay Dance Band

They came 500 years ago

They stole the gold of Mexico

Killed the people one by one

Only talking with their guns

Brave men locked on iron chains

All young mothers sold as slaves

Babies crying through the night

Will they ever see a light

Golden dreams of Eldorado

All have drowned in seas of pain and blood

Golden dreams of Eldorado

May come true but only in your heart

Reach out your hands and you´ll be free

Then we shall live in liberty

Oh, will mankind ever learn

Shall the whole world die and burn

Golden dreams of Eldorado

All have drowned in seas of pain and blood

Golden dreams of Eldorado

May come true but only in your heart

Within the memory of man

The search for happiness has never ended

But the gates of Eden will ever be closed

For those conquitadores who are only hungry

For power and might

Because the real Eldorado

Isn´t made out of diamonds and gold

It´s the immortal yearning

For peace, love and understanding

In the hearts of everyone

Golden dreams of Eldorado

All have drowned in seas of pain and blood

Golden dreams of Eldorado

May come true but only in your heart
