LYRICS- TRUTH IN THE WORLD
(Lucky Dube)
[Verse 1]
I've been risking my life all these years
Protecting you from all the wrongs you did, mon
I did all this because of your promises
You promised me that you will die when I die
You promised that when trouble comes my way...you're gonna be there...
But when trouble comes knocking in I and I door
You were not there to be found
When the trouble comes and knocks in my door
You're not there to be found
[Bridge]
The world is turning around
Yesterday becomes tomorrow
When lies are said to be the truth
And truth is said to be lies
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
[Chorus]
No truth in this world
No truth in this world
[Verse 2]
Like a preacher in church...
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Who preaches until tears run down his face
But when the sun goes down
He is a hooligan
When the sun goes down
He is a witch
Now he is doing all this in the Creators name
Do you think this is the way God wants it to be?
[Bridge]
The world is turning around
When today becomes tomorrow
When lies becomes truth
The future becomes the past
[Chorus]
No truth in this world
No truth in this world
No truth in this world
No truth in this world
No truth in this world
No truth in this world
No truth in this world
No truth in this world

"O sol perdeu o brilho de outrora
Tua alegria já não pode ser visto nos palcos
Os abraços ficaram perdidos no vazio que deixastes
Teu canto é como um lamento
O hoje já não tem a mesma poesia....(Miss you forever Luchy Dube )
(Luca Oliver)"

Google Translate from Portuguese to English
"The sun lost the brightness of yesteryear
Your joy can no longer be seen on stage
The hugs were lost in the void that you left
Your corner is like a lament
Today no longer has the same poetry .... (Miss you forever Luchy Dube)
(Luca Oliver)"

"I always wonder as to what is in the mind of the haters who dislike Lucky Dube's songs. I concur with him when he says there is no truth in the world. I refuse to say RIP to Lucky because to me he is still alive and every time I feel lonely I seek for his advice through his music. He will forever remain alive in my heart and in my memories. Thank you for the good music."

"Bana'Uganda mbagala nyo. Meaning I love you so much Ugandans.
Ugandans loved Lucky Dube till now. You can hear his songs being played on Ugandan radios everyday. Where as in 4 years I spent in south Africa, I only remember listening once to his song on East cost radio."
