Peter Gabriel, Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll

Lyrics Translation

Timor, Timor
Yale, Yale, East Timor, Timor
Timor, Timor
Timor, Timor

Going on and on and on and on
This is going on and on and on and on now
Said it once and say it twice, I want to save your time
Safety, safety

It's alright, it's alright
'Cause the system never fails
The good guys are in power and the bad guys are in jail

It's alright, it's alright
Just as long as we can vote
We live in democracy and that's what we promote

Isn't it, sn't it? (ooh-ooh)
Isn't it, isn't it? (ooh-ooh)

It's alright, it's alright
At least there's half the truth
Hearing what we want's the secret of eternal youth

It's alright, it's alright
The planet's split in three
'Cause I'll keep on selling records and you've got your MTV

If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?

East Timor, Timor, Timor
Ooh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

It's alright, it's alright
We'll show all on TV
So we won't really know it just by watching **BC

It's alright, it's alright
For a flag we die or kill
As long as we don't know it, do it just to pay the bills

If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?

If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
How about the people who don't matter anymore?

East Timor, Timor, Timor

Let's keep telling the world it's sunny
They risk their hides to make the money
Now don't you find that funny?

If we forget about 'em
If they forget about us
Then hurry
(How about those people who don't matter anymore?)

If we forget about 'em
Don't worry
If they forget about us
Then hurry
(How about those people who don't matter anymore?)

East Timor, Timor, Timor

East Timor, Timor, Timor

East Timor

[Intro]
Timor, Timor
Yale, Yale
Timor oriental, Timor
Timor, Timor
Timor. Timor

[Break]
Sigue y sigue y sigue y sigue
Esto va y viene y sigue y sigue ahora
Lo dije una vez y lo digo de vuelta
Quiero ahorrar tiempo
Seguro, seguro

[Verso 1]
Está bien, está bien
Porque el sistema nunca falla
Los chicos buenos están en el poder
Y los malos, en la cárcel
Está bien, está bien
Mientras podamos votar
Viviremos en democracia
Y es eso lo que promovemos
No es así? (Ooh)
No es así? (Ooh)
Esta bien, está bien
Si las noticias dicen la mitad de la verdad
Escuchar lo que queremos el decreto de la eterna juventud
Está bien, está bien
El mundo se divide en tres
Porque yo sigo vendiendo discos
Y tu tienes tu MTV

[Coro]
Si nos olvidamos de ellos, no se preocupen
Si ellos se olvidan de nosotros entonces dense prisa
¿Qué hay acerca de la gente que ya no le importa nada?
Timor oriental, Timor, Timor

[Verso 2]
Está bien, está bien
Ellos no muestran todo en la tv
Así que realmente no lo sabremos
Solo mirando la *BC
Está bien, está bien
Para la bandera por la que morir o matar
Mientras no lo sepamos
Solo lo haríamos para pagar las deudas

[Coro]
Si nos olvidamos de ellos, no se preocupen
Si ellos se olvidan de nosotros entonces dense prisa
¿Qué hay acerca de la gente que ya no le importa nada?
Si nos olvidamos de ellos, no se preocupen
Si ellos se olvidan de nosotros entonces dense prisa
¿Qué hay acerca de la gente que ya no le importa nada?
Timor oriental, Timor, Timor

[Puente]
Nos mantendremos bronceados mientras este soleado
Ellos arriesgan nuestros puestos para hacer su dinero
¿Ahora no te parece tan gracioso?

[Coro]
Si nos olvidamos de ellos
Si ellos se olvidan de nosotros entonces dense prisa
¿Qué hay acerca de la gente que ya no le importa nada?
Si nos olvidamos de ellos, no se preocupen
Si ellos se olvidan de nosotros entonces dense prisa
¿Qué hay acerca de la gente que ya no le importa nada?
Timor oriental, Timor, Timor
Timor oriental, Timor, Timor
Timor oriental
