Goombay Dance Band - Medley 2013

1. Eldorado (1980)
They came fivehundred 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
may come true but only in your heart

Reach out your hand 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
may come true 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
may come true but only in your heart (2x)

2. Seven Tears (1981)
Seven Tears have flown into the river
Seven Tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant waters
Then you'll know it's send with love from me

Here I stand, Hand in Hand
Lonely like a stranger on the shore
I can't stand this feeling anymore
Day by Day this world's all grey
And if dreams were eagles I would fly
But they ain't and that's the reason why

Seven Tears have flown into the river
Seven Tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant waters
Then you'll know it's send with love from me

Oh my darlin, oh my pretty lady
Golden star that leads to Paradise
Like a river's runnin to the ocean
I'll come back to you for thousand miles

Here I stand, Hand in Hand
Lonely like a stranger on the shore
I can't stand this feeling anymore
Day by Day this world's all grey
And if dreams were eagles I would fly
But they ain't and that's the reason why

Seven Tears have flown into the river
Seven Tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant waters
Then you'll know it's send with love from me

Oh my darlin, oh my pretty lady
Golden star that leads to Paradise
Like a river's runnin to the ocean
I'll come back to you for thousand miles

Seven Tears have flown into the river
Seven Tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant waters
Then you'll know it's send with love from me

Oh my darlin, oh my pretty lady
Golden star that leads to Paradise

3. Sun of Jamaica (1980)
Long time ago, when I was a young boy
I saw that movie " Mutiny on the Bounty"
Starring my Idol, Marlon Brando
And I felt a yearning for that great adventure
So many nights I woke up out of a dream
A dream of blue seas, white sands,
Paradise birds, butterflies and beautiful warm-hearted girls

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
Our love is my sweet memory
Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika
Some day I'll return, wait and see
Walk in the sand and I'm happy with you
We shall be loving and true
Oh I sure love Malaika with all of my Heart
I will always be faithful and true, yeah true

But now as I grew older
The burning desire became so strong
that I bought me a ticket to fly away
And then I found you
And we fell in eternal love right from the beginning
The stars falling down from the lagoon of gold
The palms swaying unter the moon
We were swimming out into the crystal sea

In that fateful night I thought to myself
I'll do everything I can, save on every time
And one day I'll return - come back home to you
And then I'll stay forever, forever

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
Our love is my sweet memory
Sun of Jamaica, Blue Lady Malaika
Some day I'll return, wait and see
Walk in the sand and I'm happy with you
We shall be loving and true
Oh I sure love Malaika with all of my Heart
I will always be faithful and true, yeah true (2x)
