About We Are One (Ole Ola)

"We Are One (Ole Ola)" is a song recorded by Cuban American rapper Pitbull for One Love, One Rhythm – The 2014 FIFA World Cup Official Album (2014). It is the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and features guest vocals from American singer Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte. The artists co-wrote the song with Sia, RedOne, Danny Mercer, Dr. Luke, Cirkut, and Thomas Troelsen; the latter three are also the producers. While receiving positive reviews from critics, initially the song received some negative reactions from Brazilians over its lack of Brazilian feeling. To change that, another version was also released and the music changed slightly to fit Afro Brazilian group Olodum's style of drumming - that version being the one that was used in the music video for the song. "We Are One" has experienced commercial success, reaching the top 20 in countries including Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and World Cup's host country, Brazil. The song went to its peak at no.1 in 3 countries.

Put your flags up in the sky (Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (Side to side)
Show the world where you're from

Show the world we are one (One, love, life)

Ole ole ole ola

When the going gets tough

One love, one life, one world
One fight, whole world, one night, one place
Brazil, everybody put your flags
In the sky and do what you feel

It's your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play
It's your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play

Es mi mundo, tu mundo, el mundo de nosotros
Invitamos a todo el mundo a jugar con nosotros

Put your flags up in the sky (Put 'em in the sky)
And wave them side to side (Side to side)

(Jenny) One night watch the world unite
Two sides, one fight and a million eyes
Full heart's gonna work so hard
Shoot, fall, the stars fists raised up towards the sky
Tonight watch the world unite, world unite, world unite
For the fight, fight, fight, one night
Watch the world unite
Two sides, one fight and a million eyes

Hey, hey, hey, forza forza come and sing with me
Hey, hey, hey, ole ola come shout it out with me
Hey, hey, hey, come on now
Hey, hey, hey, come on now
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Put your flags up in the sky (Put 'em in the sky)
And wave them side to side (Side to side)
Show the world where you're from (Show them where you're from)
Show the world we are one (One love, life)

Ole ole ole ola

Claudia Leitte, obrigado

É meu, é seu
Hoje é tudo nosso
Quando chega o mundo inteiro pra jogar é pra mostrar que eu posso
Torcer, chorar, sorrir, gritar
Não importar o resultado, vamos extravasar

Put your flags up in the sky (Put 'em in the sky)
And wave them side to side (Side to side)
Show the world where you're from (Show them where you're from)
Show the world we are one (One love, life)

Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
