Powerless
(con Nelly Furtado)
NELLY: Paint my face in your magazines,
Make it look whiter than it seems,
Paint me over with your dreams,
Shove away my ethnicity,
Burn every notion that
I may have a flame inside to fight,
And say just what is on my mind,
Without offending your might.
N
J: Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you,
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do,
Say what you want
NELLY: I saw her face outside today,
Weatherworn, looking all the rage,
They look her passion and her gaze and made a poster,
Now it's moccasins we sport,
We take the culture and contort,
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding.
JUANES: Esta vida es un resplendor,
Un arcoiris de ilusión,
Y si en tí no brilla el sol,
Tu no hallarás la solución.
Abre tu corazón, abre tu corazón, abre tu corazón.
NELLY: Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in,
Hey you, the one that don't fit in, how ya gonna get in,
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in,
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo.
Yeah this life is too short to live it just for you,
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do,
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you,
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do.
JUANES: Esta vida es un resplendor,
Un arcoiris de ilusión,
Y si en tí no brilla el sol,
Tu no hallarás la solucion.
Abre tu corazón, abre tu corazón, abre tu corazón.
NELLY: Say what you want.
JUANES: Esta vida es un resplendor.
NELLY: Say what you want.
JUANES: Abre tu corazón.
NELLY: Say what you want.
JUANES: Abre tu corazón.
NELLY: Say what you want.
NELLY: Life is too short
JUANES: Abre tu corazón.
NELLY: To live it just for you.
JUANES: Abre tu corazón.
NELLY: But when you feel so powerless.
JUANES: Abre tu corazón.
NELLY: What are you gonna do.
