Phonemic transcription of song text---------Phonetics
Land of loss and gain
Fortunes down the drain
Riches still remain
Rethink, re-train,
Claudía wins again.
You’ve known war and peace
Terror and secret police,
Thinkers still remain
Re-skill, Re-group,
Claudía wins again.
Claudía finds the heads that can
Manage and understand,
Claudía finds the minds that will
Reach out and not stay still
Ours is a civilized land
Rich in resources,
Greater than Telecoms
Ours is a beautiful land
More than an oil well
governed by outside funds
What is next to black?
Dark skies rolling back,
Still long days remain,
Reflect, rebuild,
Claudía wins again.
Keep on day and night
You can win this fight
You’ve known sun and rain
Review, renew,
Claudía wins again (x 2)
