I look left,
I look right,
I look with all my might,
I see nothing in my search,
No gold have i found,
I was nearly drowned,
But i continue to look frantically around.
Where are you golden legend,
Where is the enlightening door,
That will lead me to the treasure,
Of the great El Dorado.
I need to find you,
I need to put my name,
On the legendary Chief,
Giving you, your well deserved fame.
Let me find you,
Give me a sign,
Let your gold come to me,
In the blistening daylight.
As the years pass by,
And my body is weakened more than before,
I fear i'll die without witnessing,
The great and historic, El Dorado.
