[Intro]
(Esta es la leyenda de Xanadu)
[Verse 1]
You'll hear my voice
On the wind, 'cross the sand
If you should return
To that black, barren land
That bears the name of Xanadu
[Verse 2]
Cursed without hope
Was the love that I sought
Lost from the start
Was the duel that was supposed
To win her heart in Xanadu
[Bridge]
Now, no foot prints leave their traces
Only shadows move in places where we used to go
And the buildings open to the sky
All echo and the vultures cry as if to show
Our love was for a day
Then doomed to pass away
In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
[Horn Solos]
In Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu
[Interlude]
What was it to you that a man
Laid down his life for your love?
Were those clear eyes of yours ever filled
With the pain and tears of grief?
Did you ever give yourself to any one man
In this whole wide world
Or did you love me, and will you find your way
Back one day to Xanadu?
[Verse 3]
You'll hear my voice
On the wind, 'cross the sand
If you should return
To that black, barren land
That bears the name of Xanadu
[Outro]
In Xanadu, in Xanadu
In Xanadu, in Xanadu
