There was a dream
Long time ago
There was a dream
Destined to grow
Hacerse pasion
Con fuego abrazar
El deseo de dar sin fin
El deseo de ganar
For a lifetime
Of heartbreaks
That brought us here today
We will go all the way
And, it feels like we're having
The time of our lives
Let's light the fire, find the flame
Let's come together as one in the same
'Cause it feels like we're having
The time of our lives
We'll find the glory in the game
All that we are, for all that we are
For the time of our lives
Hoy es el dia
Es la pasion de triunfar
Para hacer realidad el destino
que soñabamos conseguir
Una vida de lucha nos trajo hasta aqui
Y llegare hasta el final (Heaven knows...)
'Cause it feels like we're
having the time of our lives
Juntos, unidos, triunfara nuestro
deseo de ser el major
'Cause it feels like we're
having the time of our lives
Hasta la gloria, junto a ti,
La hora llego de la verdad
El momento llego
Y ya nunca jamas lo podre olvidar...
'Cause it feels like we're
having ('cause it feels...like
we're having...)
The time of our lives
Juntos, unidos, triunfara
(juntos, unidos, triunfara...)
Nuestro deseo de ser el mejor
'Cause it feels like we're having ('cause it feels...like we're having...) The time of our lives Hasta la gloria, junto a ti, El momento llego El momento llego (Oh!...) We'll find the glory (Find the glory...) In the end (In the end...) For all that we are For everything that we wanna be and all that we are For the time of our lives For the time of our lives...

Can you hear me?!
I'm numb but I can still feel you
Sometimes I’m blind but I see you
You’re here but so far away
The times when you are not missing
You make me feel like I’m spinning
Sometimes you get what you gave
I’m on a course of collision
I’m not about to give in
Can’t explain my position
Or the condition I’m in
Where I am there’s no limit
No walls, no ceiling
No intermission
So let the party begin
Hey, hey, all the way!

"Forca"
Nelly Furtado
It is the passion flowing right on through your veins And it's the feeling that you're oh so glad you came It is the moment you remember you're alive It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire It is that flower that you took the time to smell It is the power that you know you got as well It is the fear inside that you can overcome This is the orchestra, the rhythm and the drum Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar It is the soundtrack of your ever-flowing life It is the wind beneath your feet that makes you fly It is the beautiful game that you choose to play When you step out into the world to start your day You show your face and take it in and scream and pray You're gonna win it for yourself and us today It is the gold, the green, the yellow and the grey The red and sweat and tears, the love you go. Hey! Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, closer to the sky Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar Com uma forca, com uma forca Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

Crying out loud. just a face in the crowd. See's the world that play, his spirits starts to fly. Feeling so proud, feeling as one of the crowd. United we stand, and united we fall. A journey shared by everyone, oh fathers don't you see their son. Learning to crawl ,learnign to run with the ball. They always try to be the winning side, but bringing joy to someones life is still the highest pride. Yes its more than a game, more than fortune or fame. There's a vision of goal. The heart of the soul, they're part of a team. So much more than a game, and their dream is the same. What they're feeling today, it will light up the way come tomorrow. More than a game to play. Each time they score, its one more break in the wall. The may fail but never break, they'll make a side worth fighting for. standing there tall, standing up one and for all. They always try to be the winning side, but bringing joy to someones life is still the highest pride. Yes its more than a game, more than fortune or fame. There's a vision of goal. The heart of the soul, they're part of a team. So much more than a game, and their dream is the same. What they're feeling today, it will light up the way come tomorrow. More than a game to play. Yes its more than a game, more than fortune or fame. There's a vision of goal. The heart of the soul, they're part of a team. So much more than a game, and their dream is the same. What they're feeling today, it will light up the day come tomorrow. More than a game to play.
