Dai Dai Lyrics in English (Translation): FIFA World Cup 2026 Anthem | Shakira

Oe oe e oe Oe oe e oe
You knew from the day you were born
That here in this place you belong
You been this brave all along
What broke you once made you strong

The song begins with a powerful message about destiny and inner strength. It says that deep inside, you always knew you were meant for something great. Even the painful moments in life helped make you stronger and braver.

Dale allez lets go!
Dai dai iko
Dale allez lets go
Dai dai iko

This part is like a loud stadium chant full of excitement and energy. It encourages everyone to move forward, stay motivated, and keep pushing ahead together.

Come follow your desire
Theres a will there way
You are the owner of that fire
No one can take it away
Sweat and blood to write your story
That is how you paved the way
You are about to reach the glory
Only one step away

These lines talk about chasing dreams with passion and determination. The “fire” means your ambition and spirit. The song reminds you that success comes from hard work, sacrifice, and never giving up, and that victory may be very close.

All the highs and lows
All the tears and the pain
You been there thru it all
Been thru it all
Just do it again
Now you got to believe (I believe)
Cuz you know what it takes
To be living the dream
At top of your game.

Life has both happy and difficult moments, but the song says you have already survived many struggles before. Since you made it through once, you can do it again. It’s about confidence, experience, and believing in yourself.

Feel it, got everything you needed
now bring it like you mean it
just like you mean it
Dale, no olvides lo que vales
Juega como tu sabes
Como tu sabes.

The lyrics encourage you to trust your abilities and give your best effort. The Spanish lines mean “Don’t forget your worth” and “Play the way you know how.” It’s a reminder to stay confident and true to your talent.

Energy is contagious you know
And it never fails no no
No one’s getting tired I know
Cuz you got that fire eio
Dream a little higher
Lets go lets go lets go
We’ve taken all that our hearts can hold
We can’t hold on to the past no more
From the dirt and the tears you make gold
You are more than flesh and bone

This part celebrates passion, hope, and resilience. Positive energy spreads to others, and dreams can grow bigger when people believe together. The song also says pain and struggles can turn into something valuable, making a person stronger than just their physical self.

All the highs and lows
All the tears and the pain
You been there thru it all
Been thru it all
Just do it again
Now you got to believe ( I believe)
Cus you know what it takes
To be living the dream
At top of your game

Feel it, got everything you needed
Now bring it like you mean it
Just like you mean it
Dale no olvides lo que vales
juega como tu sabes
como tu sabes
