看过世界杯的球迷,应该都听过这首歌。2006年德国世界杯,每支球队晋级后,现场就会响起这首曲子。
本身这首曲子就十分动感,而随着世界杯的推广,也更多的为人所知。以至于后来的大型比赛中都会它的播放。就我的记忆中,奥运会、F1和马术等比赛都有这首歌的出现。
其实,在世界杯之前,这首歌原名叫做《Go West》,是迪斯科乐团Village People上个世纪70年代的一首单曲,1993年被Pet shop boys翻唱并大获成功。该歌曲的内涵随着时代而变化,从上世纪70年代宣传同性恋运动,到90年代则是号召东方的青年来到西方资本主义国家。因为当时的政治原因和MTV的内容似乎对社会主义国家有所指,所以在当时国内是禁播的。
2006年世界杯之前,重新为这首曲子填词,曲调也更为激昂。随着世界杯的火热,这首歌在人们心中也留下了深深的烙印。
附歌词——
I was built to be the best
Number one and nothing less
Lead me to my destiny
I have waited patiently
I have vision though I believe
I know I can count on me
So stand up for the champions for the champions stand up
Stand up stand up for the champions for the champions
Stand out for the champions for the champions stand out
Stand out stand up for the champions for the champions stand out
Stand out stand out stand out
Here we go it's getting close
Now it's just who want it most
It's just life that's how it is
Cause we have our strengths and weakness's
Oh I have vision oh can't you see
I'm on the move make way for me
Stand out stand out for the champions for the champions stand out
And when I fall down
I have to pick myself back up
Stand up stand up
For the champions for the champions
Stand up stand up for the champions for the champions
Stand up
Stand out stand out for the champions for the champions
Stand out
Stand out for the champions for the champions stand out
Stand up stand up for the champions for the champions stand up
