Lyrics Maubere - 2015 Remaster - Rui Veloso

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 aiming at the dreams
Of Maubere people
Of Maubere people, so long

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 will be free (you will be free)

When the zsun sets in western homes
Your Holly Mary prayer disturbs eyes and ears
The TV sets are smeared with blood
And washed in your tears
Maubere people, Maubere people, so long

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

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
