There was a dream
Long time ago
There was a dream
Destined to grow

Hacerse pasion
Con fuego abrazar 
El deseo de dar sin fin 
El deseo de ganar

For a lifetime
Of heartbreaks
That brought us here today
We will go all the way

And, it feels like we're having
The time of our lives
Let's light the fire, find the plain
Let's come together as one in the same
'Cause it feels like we're having
The time of our lives
We'll find the glory in the game
All that we are, for all that we are
For the time of our lives

Hoy es el dia 
Es la ocasion de triunfar 
Para hacer realidad el destino 
que soñabamos conseguir 
Una vida de lucha nos trajo hasta aqui
Y llegare hasta el final (Heaven knows...)

'Cause it feels like weâ??re having 
The time of our lives
Juntos unidos, triunfara nuestro deseo 
de ser el major 
'Cause it feels like weâ??re having 
The time of our lives 
Hasta la gloria, junto a ti, 
Llego el momento de la verdad 
El momento llego 

Y ya nunca jamas lo podre olvidar... 

'Cause it feels like weâ??re having ('cause it feels...like we're having...)
The time of our lives 
Juntos unidos, triunfara (juntos, unidos, triunfara...)
Nuestro deseo de ser el mejor 
'Cause it feels like weâ??re having ('cause it feels...like we're having...)
The time of our lives 
Hasta la gloria, junto a ti,
El momento llego 
El momento llego (Oh!...)

We'll find the glory (Find the glory...)
In the end (In the end...)
For all that we are
For everything that we wanna be and all that we are
For the time of our lives 
For the time of our lives 
Oh...

vamos argentina!!!
