There's a tribe on the world, they are dancin' on the scene
C'è una tribù nel mondo, ballano sulla scena
Groovin' to the rhythm of a drum machine
Girano al ritmo di una macchina da battito
They sing for one nation
Cantano per una nazione
They sing for one nation
Cantano per una nazione
Well, do it to me brother, do it to me sister
Bene, fallo per me fratello, failllo per me sorella
Do it to me brother, do it to me sister
Fallo per me fratello, fallo per me sorella
Well everybody dance, well everybody dance
Bene, balla tutti, bene balla tutti
Well everybody, everybody, everybody dance
Bene, tutti, tutti, tutti ballano
Together in the same boat, note, that we're afloat, an it's wrote
Insieme nella stessa barca, nota, che siamo in galleggiamento, ed è scritto
That we are people of the same seed, indeed
Che siamo gente della stessa semenza, davvero
We feed and need to select, a way together to connect
Respect the other
'Cause the other brother is a member of the same game
Riding on the same train
Along with this track
Don't turn your back
Some participation please
We a one nation
One nation
One nation, one way to be the same
One nation
'Cause the other brother is a member of the same game
One nation
Education that's what we need a good one
One nation
It's unity, love and have some fun
There's a tribe on the world, they are dancin' on the scene
Groovin' to the rhythm of a drum machine
They sing for one nation
They sing for one nation
Well everybody dance, well everybody dance
Well everybody, everybody, everybody dance
They sing for one nation
(They sing for one nation)
One nation, one way to be the same
I'm bored to see the people never love just hate
Education that's what we need a good one
To make us all believe in a better day
To be in love for a colour not black or white but red
'Cause red is the colour of love
That you gotta give to the people who need
Like the kids in the street, now listen
Together in the same boat, note, that we're afloat, an it's wrote
That we are people of the same seed, indeed
We feed and need to select, a way together to connect
Respect the other
'Cause the other brother is a member of the same game
Riding on the same train
Along with this track
Don't turn your back
Some participation please
As we a one nation
As we are one nation
One nation with the rythm from the heartbeat
Ticking in time in life together, that's what we need
To forget, not neglect, but protect an select
A way to treat brothers equal an correct
Life is too short to believed in the wrong way
To make things clear make sure you have your own say
91's here to be strong with each other
Go forward together like sisters and brothers
One nation
One nation, one way to be the same
One nation
'Cause the other brother is a member of the same game
One nation
Education that's what we need a good one
One nation
It's unity, love and have some fun
There's a tribe on the world, they are dancin' on the scene
Groovin' to the rhythm of a drum machine
They sing for one nation
Well, they sing for one nation
We-e-e-e-e-e-ell everybody dance
Everybody dance, well everybody dance
Everybody, everybody, everybody dance
One nation
One nation
One nation
One nation
One nation
One nation
One nation
One nation
One nation
One nation
