Lyrics
El Dorado
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Our glorious city
Was built by the divinities, by gods
Who saw fit to bestow
The gift of a paradise
Peaceful and harmonious upon
Us mere mortals below
And made El Dorado
The magnificent and golden
One thousand years ago
El Dorado
El Dorado
El Dorado
But all this was granted
For only one millennium
I know my legacy is to fulfill
My promise to all my people
Who have trusted me, the gods
Will approve of us still
Preserve El Dorado
The magnificent and golden
And I believe they will
El Dorado
El Dorado
El Dorado
The mountains so high and waters deep
Are her disguise
Her secrets are safe from foreign hands and eyes forever
Preserve El Dorado
The magnificent and golden
And I believe they will
El Dorado
