Píseň: Eldorado

Interpret:
Electric Light Orchestra
Album:
Eldorado
Here it comes another lonely day
Playing the game, I'll sail away
On a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream.


The painted ladies of the Avalon
Play in the sun, take to the road
To the north, there lies the chills of cold
To the south, there lies the tales untold
But in-between
there lies the place to close your eyes.


And I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free, yeah, of the world
Eldorado.


Say goodbye the city's heroes sing
Bird on the wing
Feel, feel so free
Through the life upon the rooftop haze
All the cheating and the broken days
So through it all, I see
There's nothing left for me.


So I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free, yeah, of the world
Eldorado.


Sitting here on top of everywhere
What do I care?
Days never end
I know the voyage's end will soon be here
No eternal life is here for me
And now I found the key
To the eternal dream.


Then I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free, yeah, of the world
Eldorado
Then I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado.
