The Cup Of Life (La Copa De La Vida)
Ricky Martin · Playlist - The Very Best Of Ricky Martin [2012]
Push it along, gotta be strong, push it along, right to the top
The feeling in your soul is gonna take control
Nothing can hold you back if you really want it
I see it in your eyes, you want the cup of life
Now that the day is here, we gotta go and get it
Do you really want it? (yeah!) Do you really want it? (yeah!)
Here we go! Ale, Ale, Ale, go, go, go! Ale, Ale, Ale
Tonight's the night, we're gonna celebrate the cup of life, Ale, Ale, Ale
The cup of life, it's do or die, it's here it's now, turn up the lights
Push it along then let it roll, push it along, go Go Goal!
And when you feel the heat, the world is at your feet
No one can hold you down if you really want it
Just steal your destiny, right from the hands of fate
Reach for cup of life 'cause your name is on it
Do you really want it? (yeah!) Do you really want it? (yeah!)
Here we go, Ale, Ale, Ale, go, go, go, Ale, Ale, Ale
Tonight's the night, we're gonna celebrate the cup of life, Ale, Ale, Ale
The feeling in your soul is gonna take control
Nothing can hold you back if you really want it
I see it in your eyes, you want the cup of life
Now that the day is here, gotta go and get it
Do you really want it? (yeah!) Do you really want it? (yeah!)
Do you really want it? (yeah!) (Yeah! Yeah!)
Here we go, Ale, Ale, Ale, go, Go, Go, Ale, Ale, Ale
Tonight's the night, we're gonna celebrate the cup of life, Ale, Ale, Ale
Un, dos, tres! Ole, Ole, Ole, un, deux, trois! Ale, Ale, Ale
Tonight's the night, we're gonna celebrate the cup of life, Ale, Ale, Ale
