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
