Lyrics :
Oh-eh, oh-eh (oh-eh)
Eh, oh-eh (oh-eh)
Oh-eh, oh-eh (oh-eh)
Eh, oh-eh
You knew from the day you were born
That here in this place you belong
You've been this brave all along
What broke you once made you strong
Dai dai, 行こう, dale, allez, let's go
Dai dai, 行こう, dale, allez, let's go
Come follow your desire
When there's a will, there's a way
You're the owner of that fire
No one can take it away
Spit out blood to write your story
That is how you paved the way
You're about to reach the glory
Only one step away
All the highs and lows
All the tears and the pain
You've been there through it all
Been through it all, just do it again
Now you got to believe (I believe)
'Cause you know what it takes
To be living my dream
At the top of your game
Feel it, got everything you needed
Now bring it like you mean it
Just like you mean it
Dale, olvida lo que vale
Juega como tú sabes
Como tú sabes
And it's just contagious (you know)
And it never fades (no, no)
No one's getting tired (I know)
'Cause you got that fire (hey, yo)
Aim a little higher
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Hey, yo
Hey, yo
We've taken all that our hearts can hold
And we can't hold on to the past no more (mm-mm)
From the dirt and the tears, we make gold
We are more than flesh and bones
All the highs and lows (highs and lows)
All the tears and the pain
You've been there through it all
Been through it all, just do it again
Now you got to believe (I believe)
'Cause you know what it takes
To be living my dream
At the top of your game
Feel it, got everything you needed
Now bring it like you mean it
Just like you mean it
Dale, olvida lo que vale
Juega como tú sabes
Como tú sabes

Oh-eh, oh-eh (oh-eh)
Eh, oh-eh (oh-eh)

Eh, oh-eh
Knew from the day you were born
Here in this place you belong
You've been this brave all along
What broke you once made you strong
Dai dai, 行こう, dale, allez, let's go
Dai dai, 行こう, dale, allez, let's go
Dai dai, 行こう, dale, allez, let's go
Dai dai, 行こう, dale, allez, let's go
