Dai Dai Lyrics
[Verse 1: Shakira]
All the highs and lows
All the tears and the pain
You been there through it all
Been through it all
Just do it again
[Pre-Chorus: Shakira & Burna Boy]
Now you got to believe
'Cause you know what it takes
To be living the dream
At top of your game
[Chorus: Burna Boy & Shakira]
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 tú sabes
Dai dai, Ikó, dale, allez, let's go!
[Verse 2: Burna Boy]
From Maradona to Pelé
From Beckham to the streets of Lagos
We dey play, we no dey tire
Na champions dey rise higher
