El Darodo Lyrics

Gaily bedight

A gallant knight

In sunshine and in shadow

Had journeyed long

Singing a song

In search of Eldorado

But he grew old

This knight so bold

And o'er his heart a shadow

Fell as he found

No spot of ground

That looked like Eldorado

And as his strength

Failed him at length

He met a pilgrim shadow

'Shadow' said he

'Where can it be

This land of Eldorado?'

'Over the Mountains

Of the Moon

Down the Valley of the Shadow

Ride boldly ride'

The shade replied

'If you seek for Eldorado!'

Gaily bedight

A gallant knight

In sunshine and in shadow

Had journeyed long

Singing a song

In search of Eldorado

But he grew old

This knight so bold

And o'er his heart a shadow

Fell as he found

No spot of ground

That looked like Eldorado

And as his strength

Failed him at length

He met a pilgrim shadow

'Shadow' said he

'Where can it be

This land of Eldorado?'

'Over the Mountains

Of the Moon

Down the Valley of the Shadow

Ride boldly ride'

The shade replied

'If you seek for Eldorado!'
