Lyrics:
And there's nowhere I'd rather be
When they take with hand and with take the other
On the day all the hands go free
And the sun's gonna shine on me
The suns gonna shine on me

O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
And all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo

Mama Maria, she would take my hand
Down to el Rio sol
Saying "oye for real hijo understand
Hands can hurt or heal so"

Tell all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
And all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
And all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
And all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Free hands go

Mama Maria, she would take my hand
Down to the Rio and flow
Baxabana ogxam baxabana ngenoxoxo
Bexakwe yinuxba xaka

Tell all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
All the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Tell all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
And all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Free hands go

And there's nowhere I'd rather be
Gonna raise up one hand and raise the other
Hurt me outside, inside I'm free
And there's no enemy
Everyone is my brother
When the truth comes to set me free
And we're not going to fall in and out with each other
On the day all the hands go free
Then the sun's gonna shine
And the sun's gonna shine on me

Tell all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
And all the people go
O-lo-e-o-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Free hands go

And the sun's gonna shine on me
And I know, one day I know
The sun's gonna shine on me
Let my hands go free
Let my hands go free
Let my hands go free
The sun's gonna shine on me
Let my hands go free
And all hands go free
When all hands go free
The sun's gonna shine on me

Everyone who is saying they are disappointed needs to realize that this is not a COLDPLAY song. This is a Los Unidades song. The song focuses on the significance of Nelson Mandela's (and others) struggle for freedom down in South Africa. So suck it up, you can still go listen to The Scientist or Viva La Vida. This song is beautiful and signifies African culture. It's unique and AMAZING.

[Atars]

Guys calm down, it's just a project they're doing for the Global Citizen Festival as "Los Unidades".
They didn't change their name.
Coldplay is still Coldplay.

[pbcsev]

Good bands dont make just music. They make changes in our world. They make history.
Thank you Coldplay/Los Unidades for supporting human rights from time to time.
You truly rock

[alab]

the old coldplays can't come to the phone right now
why?
cause they're los unidades now

[joaopedrobaldo]

Pharrell Williams (production) + Chris Martin (vocals) = PERFECT SONG

[chunfin]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Unidad means "unity" in Spanish and Coldplay never fails to unite us all.

[eugeniolongo]

Beautiful and Chris's voice is unmistakable ❤️👍

[brunochiabai]

Coldplay makes not music, but PURE art

[allitaboo]

Omg what a fusion of sounds... my senses are so indulged I love this...

[atlesoderman]

Omg welcome back Chris, Johnny, Will and Guy!!

[catherinew]

I love this song, and what it's saying.
People who are arguing about it, just stop. You do realise what this song is about, right! This song is about Nelson Mandela and paying tribute to an amazing person. Stop arguing about stupid stuff like it's too much like pop music for you, or that it doesn't sound like 'proper' coldplay stuff, and complaining about the name! It's a name for goodness sake. Coldplay is still Coldplay. Just stop, and actually listen to what they are trying to tell you!!
And saying that this is an amazing song and that the lyrics are amazing, is a total understatement!
New favourite song, for all the right reasons!!!!

[NewAlternativeChart]

"E-Lo" debuted at #23 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

*for some reason I do not know what to feel*

[seek-a-critique]

The start of a new chapter, just like Chris said...

[mcy]
