Waving Flag

Just got back from my morning walk (with my host father Marcos) and brief exercises in the park across the street, and felt a huge desire to listen to this song:

WAVING FLAG--English and Spanish Version

David Bisbal—Waving Flag

(featuring K'naan)

ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh (x2)
Give me freedom
Give me fire
Give me reason
Take me higher
See the champions
Take the field now
You define us
Make us feel proud
En las calles muchas manos
levantadas, celebrando
una fiesta sin descanso
los paises 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... 
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 (x4)
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh (x2)
Danos vida
danos fuego
que nos lleve a lo alto
campeones o vencidos
pero unidos a intentarlo
In the streets
our heads out lifting
as we lose our inhibitions
celebration is around us
every nation all around us
Singing forever young
singing songs underneath the sun
let’s rejoice to the beautiful game
and together at the end of day
We all sing:
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 wavin flag
so wave your flag 
Now wave your flag 
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag (x4)
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh (x2)
¡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 (x4)
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh (x2)
And everybody
will be singing…
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
And we all will be singing...

I love it.  Can’t get enough of it.  The song captures so much of the emotion of the World Cup felt throughout the world.  I especially like this version (with Spanish) because I can understand the lyrics.  I might just sing this song at Karaoke when I go with my host family.
