In sunshine and shadow, from darkness till noon

Over mountains that reach from the sky to the moon

A man with a dream that will never let go

Keeps searching to find El Dorado

 

 

So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow

Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado

 

 

The wind becomes bitter, the sky turns to grey

His body grows weary, he can't find his way

But he'll never turn back, though he's lost in the snow

For he has to find El Dorado [

 

 

So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow

Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado

 

 

My Daddy once told me what a man ought to be

There's much more to life than the things we can see

And the godliest mortal you ever will know

Is the one with the dream of El Dorado

 

 

So ride, boldly ride, to the end of the rainbow

Ride, boldly ride, till you find El Dorado

 

Gaily Bedight

 

 Gaily bedight,

A gallant knight,

In sunshine and in shadow

Had journeyed long,

Singing a song,

In search of Eldorado.

 

 

But he grew old-

This knight so bold-

And o'er his heart a shadow

Fell as he found

No spot of ground

That looked like Eldorado.

 

 

And, as his strength

Failed him at length,

He met a pilgrim shadow-

"Shadow," said he,

"Where can it be-

This land of Eldorado?"

 

 

"Over the Mountains

Of the Moon,

Down the Valley of the Shadow,

Ride, boldly ride,"

The shade replied-

"If you seek for Eldorado!"
