Shakira, Burna Boy “Dai Dai” Lyrics

English

Oh-eh-oh-eh (Oh-eh), eh-oh-eh (Oh-eh)
Oh-eh-oh-eh (Oh-eh), eh-oh-eh

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
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go

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

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
Now you got to believe, I believe
‘Cause you know what it takes
To be living my dream
At the top of your game

Feel it, got everything you needed
Now bring it like you mean it
Just like you mean it
Dale, no olvide’ lo que vales
Juega como tú sabes
Como tú sabe’

Energy’s contagious, you know
And it never fails, no, no
No one’s getting tired, I know
‘Cause you got that fire, ayo
Dream a little higher, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

Ayo

We’ve taken all that our hearts can hold
And we can’t hold on to the past no more (Mmm)
From the dirt and the tears, we make gold
And we are more than flesh and bones

All the highs and lows (Highs and lows)
All the tears and the pain
You been there through it all, been through it all
Just do it again
Now you got to believe (I believe)
‘Cause you know what it takes
To be living my dream
At the top of your game

Feel it, got everything you needed
Now bring it like you mean it
Just like you mean it
Dale, no olvide’ lo que vales
Juega como tú sabes
Como tú sabe’

Knew from the day you were born
Here in this place, you belong
You’ve been this brave all along
What broke you once made you strong (Ow)
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go
Dai, dai, ikou, dale, allez, let’s go

Shakira, Burna Boy “Dai Dai” Meaning

Dai Dai by Shakira carries a universal message of passion, unity, and encouragement inspired by the global spirit of football. The phrase “Dai Dai” comes from the Italian word “dai,” commonly used to motivate or cheer someone on, and when repeated, it transforms into an energetic chant similar to saying “Come on!” or “Let’s go!” in English.

Throughout the song, this idea expands across different languages and cultures — from “Come on, come on” in English and “Dale, dale” in Spanish to “Vai, vai” in Portuguese and “Allez, allez” in French — emphasizing how football connects people around the world through shared excitement and emotion.
Rather than focusing on competition alone, the song celebrates the collective energy of fans chanting together in stadiums, regardless of nationality or language. With its upbeat rhythm, stadium-ready hooks, and multicultural influences, Dai Dai captures the feeling of unity, motivation, and unstoppable momentum that defines the FIFA World Cup 2026 experience.
