O mundo é um tapete verde
Quando a bola chega lá
Coração fica na rede, na rede, na rede
Ola, ola
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la I dare you
Leggo
Leggo
Leggo
Leggo
Feel how the planet, become one
Beats like a drum to the same rhythm
Hear the whistle, kick the ball
The entire world soars like an eagle
In Rio we play, like we dance
Only today there's no tomorrow
Leave all behind, in this place
There's no space for fear or sorrow
Is it true that you want it?
Then act like you mean it
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare, can you feel it?
La la la la la

You have arrived, it's the place
No more doubts the time is coming
Feel how the planet, become one
Like a drum destiny's calling
German, Colombians, Spanish and French
Off the bench you gotta own it
Down here we play, like we dance
It's Brazil and now you know it
Is it true that you want it?
Then act like you mean it
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare, can you feel it?

"La La La" by Shakira feat. Carlinhos Brown talks about the collective experience of soccer or football, and how it unites people from all over the world. The song begins with the phrase "Essa bola vai rolar" which in Portuguese means "this ball will roll," and the verse continues to describe the world as a green carpet that turns into a net as the ball enters. The chorus is a repetition of "La La La" which resembles the sound of a whistle, and it acts as an invitation to join in the celebration.
The song emphasizes the feeling of unity and brotherhood that football brings, and it encourages people to let go of fear and sorrow because the sport brings joy, excitement, and a sense of togetherness. The verse that says "In Rio, we play, like we dance, only today, there's no tomorrow" indicates the fleeting nature of such moments of collective joy.
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, which underlines the importance of the invitation to join in and become a part of the celebration. The final verse acknowledges that people from different countries and cultures come together to play soccer, but it emphasizes that while they may have differences, they all share a common love for the game. In this sense, the song is an ode to football and the unity it creates among people.
