Sopor Aeternus feat. The Ensemble Of Shadows
eldorado
Select language to translate this lyric
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew oldâ
This knight so boldâ
And o'er his heart a shadowâ
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadowâ
âShadow,' said he,
âWhere can it beâ
This land of Eldorado?'
âOver the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,'
The shade replied,
âIf you seek for Eldorado!'
