歌词与中文翻译
Gaily bedight
衣着华丽
A gallant knight
一位豪侠骑士
In sunshine and in shadow
无论天晴还是下雨
Had journeyed long
长途跋涉
Singing a song
哼着小曲
In search of Eldorado
寻找黄金之国
但他老了
But he grew old-
勇敢的骑士
This knight so bold-
阴影落在心头
And o'er his heart a shadow
当他发现
Fell as he found
没有一处
No spot of ground
像梦中的黄金国
That looked like Eldorado
终于有一天
他已精疲力竭
And, as his strength
他见到一个朝圣者的影子
Failed him at length
“影子”，他问
He met a pilgrim shadow-
”究竟什么地方
"Shadow," said he,
才是那片黄金之乡？”
"Where can it be-
“在月亮山之巅
This land of Eldorado?"
在峡谷阴影的深壑
骑上马 去寻觅！大胆地寻觅！”
"Over the Mountains of the Moon
影子回答道
Down the Valley of the Shadow
“如果你是在找——黄金之国！”
Ride, boldly ride
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
