[English]

Rejoice I could, rejoice I could

Could take a choice, the choice I took

To take the choices out of your hand

And put'em in my hand

And it's all good, yeah it's all good

I got the bag, got the books

Skip the town, goodbye

With no bad feelings

No heartbroke, I hit the road

And maybe one day we'll go to rehab

Or back to Argentina, it's not that far away

Any day now

Let's hope that someday I play my concertina

To an arena full of people

Or dream my life away

Dreaming of the day

When you find that love inside of me

Deep within the heart of me

Deep within my, deep within my

Deep within the heart of me

[X2]

I wanna find my girl, love will be amazing

Champion sound, champion sound

[X2]

Yeah

And maybe one day we'll go to rehab

Or back to Argentina, it's not that far away

Any day now

Let's hope that someday I play my concertina

To an arena full of people

Or dream my life away

Dreaming of the day I would

I found my love to be her

When I see her Imma say yeah

I'm on my hope she say yeah

I wanna try to say her this (?) some day

I wanna find my girl, love will be amazing

Champion sound

When you find that love inside of me

Deep within the heart of me

Deep within my, deep within my

Deep within the heart of me

[X2]

I wanna find my girl, love will be amazing

Champion sound, champion sound

[X2]

I wanna find my girl, love will be amazing

Champion sound, champion sound

[2x]
