Llevo una temporada escuchando bastante los dos últimos discos de Shakira, Oral Fixation Vol 1 y 2 y ésta es una de las canciones que más me gustan de ella, no entiendo como no ha sido single, y probablemente se quedará sin serlo.

En Youtube he encontrado este montaje de la canción con varias secuencias extraídas de actuaciones a lo largo de su carrera. No es lo más apropiado, pero menos da una piedra.

Shakira - Timor (letra)

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? Isn’t it?
Oooh…
Isn’t it? Isn’t it?
Oooh…

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 tbc ???

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
The risk of ??? to make them 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
