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
 [bad word] [bad word] 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
 [bad word] [bad word] 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
 [bad word] [bad word] but only in your heart
