Lyrics and translation Revolver - Eldorado

Eldorado

He pasado mil años viendo como mi madre
Trabajaba y llegaba a casa siempre tarde
Una vez, y otra vez, treinta dias al mes.
Cada noche, despues de estar yo acostado
La sentia abrir la puerta de mi cuarto.
Cambió el verme crecer por comer a diario
Por comer a diario.
Vi a mis padres correr en busca de El dorado
Vi a mis padres luchar, cada uno por su lado.
Lo mejor de sus vidas, donde se ha quedado.
Quizas yendo detras del maldito El dorado.
Vi a mi padre luchar contra los elementos
Naufragar con su vida contra el muro del tiempo.
No tuvo otra oportunidad.
Y llegaba a casa con las manos cortadas
De montar con las manos armarios de chapa.
No tuvo otra oportunidad
Otra oportunidad.
Vi a mis padres correr en busca de El dorado
Vi a mis padres luchar, cada uno por su lado.
Lo mejor de sus vidas, dnde se ha quedado.
Quizas yendo detras del maldito El dorado.
Intente resolver solo todas mis dudas
Y, veinte años despues, aun me quedan algunas.
La vida sigue y yo tambien.
Y aunque dicen que el tiempo no pasa en balde
Cometi mis errores mas bien pronto que tarde.
No usé su ejemplo en aprender
Y en mi propio universo vi a mis padres caer
Vi a mis padres caer.
Vi a mis padres correr en busca de El dorado
Vi a mis padres luchar, cada uno por su lado.
Lo mejor de sus vidas, dinde se ha quedado.
Quizas yendo detras del maldito El dorado.
(Repetir hasta el final)

Eldorado

I have spent a thousand years watching my mother
Work and always come home late
Once, and again, thirty days a month.
Every night, after I went to bed
I would feel her open the door to my room.
She traded watching me grow for eating everyday
For eating everyday.
I watched my parents run in search of Eldorado
I watched my parents fight, each on their own side.
The best of their lives, where has it stayed.
Perhaps going after the damn Eldorado.
I watched my father fight against the elements
His life shipwrecked against the wall of time.
He had no other choice
And he would come home with his hands cut
From building metal cabinets with his bare hands.
He had no other choice
Another chance.
I watched my parents run in search of Eldorado
I watched my parents fight, each on their own side.
The best of their lives, where has it stayed.
Perhaps going after the damn Eldorado.
I tried to solve all my doubts alone
And, twenty years later, I still have some.
Life goes on and so do I.
And although they say that time does not pass in vain
I made my mistakes too soon rather than late.
I did not use their example to learn
And in my own universe I saw my parents fall
I watched my parents fall.
I watched my parents run in search of Eldorado
I watched my parents fight, each on their own side.
The best of their lives, where has it stayed.
Perhaps going after the damn Eldorado.
