LYRICS OF THE SONG
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and drunken heart
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hard-faced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and sunken eyes
A fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back
Oh, people help the people
And if you're homesick,
Give me your hand and I'll hold it.
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain,
Oh, and if I had a brain,
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away
God knows what is hiding,
In that world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets.
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and drunken hearts
I guess that loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, oh save me
People help the people
And if you're homesick,
Give me your hand and I'll hold it.
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain,
Oh, and if I had a brain,
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
People help the people
And if you're homesick,
Give me your hand and I'll hold it.
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain,
Oh, and if I had a brain,
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away.
TRANSLATION
Dios sabe qué se esconde en esos corazones débiles y
borrachos.
Supongo que besaste a las chicas y las hiciste llorar
A esas reinas callejeras de infortunio
Dios sabe qué esconden aquellos ojos débiles y
hundidos
Una ardiente multitud de ángeles en silencio
Dando amor, sin pedir a cambio nada.
La gente ayuda a la gente
Y si sientes nostalgia, dame tu mano y la sujetaré
La gente ayuda a la gente
Y nada te arrastrará hacia abajo
Ah y si yo tuviera un cerebro, Ah y si yo tuviera un
cerebro
Sería frío como una piedra y rico como el tonto
que dio la espalda a todos esos corazones buenos.
Dios sabe que se esconde, en este mundo de pequeñas
consecuencias
Detrás de las lágrimas, dentro de la mentira
Mil puestas del sol que mueren despacio
Dios sabe qué esconden en esos corazones débiles y
borrachos
Supongo que la soledad viene llamando a la puerta
Nadie necesita estar solo, no, cantando…
La gente ayuda a la gente,
Y si sientes melancolía, dame tu mano y la sujetaré.
La gente ayuda a la gente
Y nada te arrastrará hacia abajo
Ah y si yo tuviera un cerebro, Ah y si yo tuviera un
cerebro
Sería fría como una piedra y rica como el tonto
Que dio la espalda a esos corazones buenos.
La gente ayuda a la gente,
Y si sientes melancolía, dame tu mano y la sujetaré.
La gente ayuda a la gente
Y nada te arrastrará hacia abajo
Ah y si yo tuviera un cerebro, Ah y si yo tuviera un
cerebro
Sería fría como una piedra y rica como el tonto
Que dio la espalda a esos corazones buenos.

COMMENTS AND OPINION
I have chosen this song, because I think that we have
born to help people with their problems. The singer says
that we are muted angels who are giving love and
getting nothing back, that’s how we have to be, but the
society is normally really selfish. She’s giving a good
example to us, telling us that if you’re homesick we can
help each other holding our hands together, that’s the
way to help.
