Rui Veloso - Maubere letra (lyrics)

Longe da vista longe da mão
Longe de tudo mas perto do coração

When the sun rises in East Timor
There is pain and fear behind each door
The streets are watched by M 16's
Aiming at the hearts and aiming at the dreams
Of Maubere people maubere people

Hold on proud Maubere
You're not alone so don't despair
Don't despair hope is older than you and me
Sooner or late you, you will be free
You will be free
When the sun sets in western homes
Your Holly Mary prayer disturbs eyes and ears
Our TV sets are smeared with blood
And washed in your tears maubere people
Maubere people

Fight back brave Maubere
Someone cares for you so don't despair
Don't despair hope is older than you and me
Sooner or later you will be free
You will be free

They may shoot your body
And dump you in a hole
They may put you chains
But they can't chain you soul
They can't chain you soul

Fight back brave Maubere
Someone cares for you so don't despair
Don't despair hope is older than you and me
Sooner or later you will be free
You will be free yes you will
Yes you will yes you will
You will be free you will be free
