In Search Of El Dorado

SPOKEN INTRO: (Leigh Dominy)

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of El Dorado.

SPOKEN BRIDGE:

Creí que ese amor vendría a mi, 
si iba por el sendero del destino  

VERSE ONE:

I have traveled in search of El Dorado,
Searching for my pot of gold,
Chased a dream, many wouldn’t follow,
And found true love, my Inca gold.

VERSE TWO:

I dreamt one night that I would find a treasure,
If I crossed a desert and an ancient sea,
Climbed a mountain, no man could measure.
Destiny would come to me.

SPOKEN BRIDGE:

Creí que ese amor vendría a mi, 
si iba por el sendero del destino

VERSE THREE:

I’ve cleansed my soul in holy water,
From a Hindu river to an Inca sea,
Built my dreams out of bricks and mortar,
My Inca temple, my sanctuary.  

SPOKEN BRIDGE: (Leigh Dominy)

Over the mountains of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,
The shade replied,
If you seek for El Dorado  

SPOKEN BRIDGE:

I believed that love would come to me,
If I walked the path of destiny,
Creí que ese amor vendría a mi, 
si iba por el sendero del destino  

VERSE FOUR:

I’ve traveled far in search of El Dorado,
Crossed the tropics to a distant land,
I walked a path, that few would have followed, 
My Inca gold lies in my hands.
