TETUM:
Tebedai, tebedai, tebe, tebe, dai.
Surik iha liman, kaibau iha reen toos
Fulun iha ain, bele kee kakorok
Husi rai Jaco to'o rai Oecusse
La iha lorosae, la iha loromonu
La iha firaku, la iha kaladi
La iha matakoi, la iha maudia
Timor, Timor, hamutuk ida deit, liu husi tebe dai
Hein foin sai sira lolo liman ba malu ita dahur lai
Hadomi Timor, hadomi kultura
Hatudu kultura, hatudu tebedai atu mundo mos hatene
Timor, Timor, nia furak ne'e duni, liu husi tebedai
La iha dalan seluk furak liu tan o
Tebe likurai, tebe tebe ita nian
Tebe likurai, tebe tebe Timor oan

Chorus
Love and peace from Black Jesuz on the beat,
tuba rai metin hananu ho ami nia kbiit
ho ami nia lian,
obriga mundo loke nia tilun ho speranca povu timor tur hamtuk fo alun

ENGLISH:
Dance, dance, dance
A knife in your hand, headpiece on your forehead
Feathers on your feet, necklace around your neck
From Jaco to Oecusse
There is no east, there is no west
There are no easterners, there are no westerners
There are no eastern youth, there are no western youth
Timor, Timor, together as one, through the tebedai dance
While we wait for the young people to shake hands, we'll have a celebration
Love Timor, love culture
Show our culture, show the tebedai dance so the world knows
Timor, Timor, this is what's great, it's the tebedai dance
There is nothing better than you
Tebe likurai, the dance is ours
Tebe likurai, dance, dance Timorese

Chorus
Love and peace from Black Jesus on the beat,
Resisting, reciting with our power,
With our voices,
Making the world to listen to the Timorese peoples wishes, sitting together with a pestle (mortar and pestle for cooking) (or alin, or alunu, student)
