Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Mr. Worldwide!
(Becky G!)
Copa América!
Con las manos pa' arriba, dale...
Con las manos pa' arriba, dale...
Con las manos pa' arriba, dale...
It's not how you fall, it's how you get back up!
I'm ready for whatever, fo' sho'
Come on, Becky G, let's go
Esta pa la gente en el barrio
La gente en la lucha
El mundo entero yo se que me escuchan
Y dile no pare, sigue sigue
Todos los Latinos, sigue, sigue!
Todos los países, sigue, sigue!
Because your touch, like poison, is running through my veins
I want it all, electric, siempre, siempre, siento
We're like Bonnie and Clyde, we reach for the sky
Desde hoy, forever, yeah, tonight
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
Yeah, we run this party
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
Yeah, we run this party
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
Come and join the fiesta
...
We will be superstars
I'm giving it my all
Blood, sweat and tears, win, lose or draw
Todo lo que tengo, todo lo que soy
Lucha hasta la muerte, todo lo que doy
Ahorra Dominico' pon las manos pa' arriba
Como? A celebrar la vida!
Como? Todo mundo con las manos arriba
Como? A celebrar la vida!
Dale...
Because your touch, like poison, is running through my veins
I want it all, electric, siempre, siempre, siento
We're Bonnie and Clyde, we reach for the sky
Desde hoy, forever, yeah, tonight
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
Yeah, we run this party
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
Yeah, we run this party
We will be superstars, superstars, you and I
Come and join the fiesta
...
We will be superstars
...
(We will be superstars...)
