Brazil World Cup 2014 Song: Shakira To Perform In Finals Match

Tags

Shakira, the pop singer from Colombia is off to have a performance on the World Cup Finals Match, specifically in the closing ceremony. It will be held in Rio de Janeiro's Maracana stadium on July 13.

The Hips Don't Lie singer will be performing her song, "La la la (Brazil 2014)" together with Brazilian percussionist and singer, Carlinhos Brown

'I have an intricate relationship with football for obvious reasons, and I truly understand what the World Cup means to so many people, myself included,' said Shakira.

The singer is a partner of Spain and Barcelona player, Grard Pique.

However, the real game thriller is if she will be performing after a Colombian win, which is most likely to happen through the native Colombian player, James Rodriguez.

On the other hand, the other performers include: Mexican- American guitarist Carlos Santana, Haitian-American hip-hop star Wyclef Jean, and Brazilian singer Alexandre Pires. They are to perform the official anthem of the World Cup 2014, "Dar Um Jeito," which is Portugese for "We will find a way."

The final ceremony will also show a samba performance from one of the schools from Rio de Janeiro. The said school is also always joining in the city's well-known Carnival celebrations.

Below is Shakira's song for the Brazil 2014 World Cup:

Here are the lyrics for the song:

[Intro: Carlinhos Brown]
Essa bola vai rolar
O mundo é um tapete verde
Quando a bola chega lá
Coração fica na rede, na rede, na rede
Ola, ola

[Chorus]
La la la la la (6x)
La!
I dare you

[Beat Break]
Leggo (4x)

[Verse 1]
Feel how the planet, become one
Beats like a drum to the same rhythm
Hear the whistle, kick the ball
The entire world soars like an eagle
In Rio we play, like we dance
Only today there's no tomorrow
Leave all behind, in this place
There's no space for fear or sorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it true that you want it?
Then act like you mean it
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare, can you feel it?

[Chorus]

[Beat Break]
Leggo (2x)

[Verse 2]
You have arrived, it's the place
No more doubts the time is coming
Feel how the planet, become one
Like a drum destiny's calling
German, Colombians, Spanish and French
Off the bench you gotta own it
Down here we play, like we dance
It's Brazil and now you know it

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus](2x)

[Beat Break]
Leggo (4x)
