  • Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

    Give me freedom, give me fire
    Give me reason, take me higher
    See the champions take the field now
    You'll be fighters make us feel proud

    En las calles muchas manos
    Levantadas, celebrando
    Una fiesta sin descanso
    Los países como hermanos
    Canta y une tu voz
    Grita fuerte que te escuche el sol
    El partido ya va a comenzar
    Todos juntos vamos a ganar

    Unidos seremos grandes, seremos fuertes
    Somos un pueblo, bandera de libertad
    Que viene y que va, que viene y que va
    Que viene y que va, que viene y que
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag
    So wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, oh-oh-oh

    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

    Danos vida, danos fuego
    Que nos lleve a lo alto
    Campeones o vencidos
    Pero unidos a intentarlo

    In the streets our heads are lifting
    As we lose our inhibitions
    Celebration is around us
    Every nation all around us

    Staying forever young
    Singing songs underneath the sun
    Let's rejoice to the beautiful game
    And together at the end of day we all say

    Seremos grandes, seremos fuertes
    Somos un pueblo, bandera de libertad
    Que viene y que va, que viene y que va
    Que viene y que va, que viene y que
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a waving flag
    So wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, oh-oh-oh

    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

    Unidos seremos grandes, seremos fuertes
    Somos un pueblo, bandera de libertad
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a waving flag
    So wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, now wave your flag
    Now wave your flag, oh-oh-oh

  • Robert from Kintore OntThis is a long running theme with me. When I was young it was love songs later it was I won't give up. Later break up songs. Later look forward to heaven. Hell. This is one heavily cloaked. Now I'm awake. God is here. The Angels go home. Demons are invited. Manitoulins house will be built from Windsor to Ottawa. The climate will warm. The countries name is Canada the nobaho code calls it "ad an a c" We're all gladiators. Evereyone a ranger. There are lies have tricked us. It's time to rise up and make things right. The thieves can go to jail. Finally we can be proud to wave a flag.
  • Dan from México, D.f., MexicoThe remixed version with David Bisbal (Spanish singer) is not the official world cup song, but the official Coca Cola theme for Latin America. I believe the official song for the 2010 tournament is by Shakira. This one's a lot better, IMHO.
