Hey, Colombia
My heart goes tick-tock, tick-tock when I see her
And I get carried away by passion, game on
Oh, let the world know: my greatest love is playing
There's a united country that shouts: I believe!
Put on the tricolor's skin
And paint your face and your heart
Goal, goal, goal from my national team
How f*ckin' cool!, this is lit
Goal, goal, goal, a shout of emotion
The yellow wave ignited
From the subway to the World Cup
Let it feel like a carnival
Never stop dancing
With the team this year we'll win
I want the world to feel the bembé
With the ball on just one foot
With my backpack, I'm on my way
I'm going to the World Cup to shout again
With my hat I'm going to cheer
I am Colombia at the World Cup
Heeeyyy!
The national team plays, everything stops now
Turn on the radio, the TV and also a candle
'Cause if we win the game, all my Colombia trembles
Aé, aé, aé, rakichakuichakicha
Man, this tick-tock is a trip
Come on, get into this rhythm now
Put on the tricolor's skin
And paint your face and your heart
Goal, goal, goal from my national team
How f*ckin' cool!, this is lit
Goal, goal, goal, a shout of emotion
The yellow wave ignited
Today a heartbeat is felt
Oh, from this national team
Colombia for the World Cup

In the song, it captures the electric atmosphere of watching the national soccer team play, shouted right after a goal is scored. While chimba can be a tricky or even rude word in other contexts, when paired with bacana, it's pure positive energy and a fantastic piece of slang to learn.

Get ready to feel the rhythm of a nation's heartbeat! "El Tic Tac De Mi Selección" is a powerful anthem dedicated to the Colombian national football team. The 'tic tac' in the title isn't a clock; it's the sound of a heart pounding with excitement and passion every time the team plays. The song is a call to action for fans everywhere to unite, put on the 'tricolor' (the yellow, blue, and red of the flag), and cheer with all their might. It perfectly captures that incredible feeling when an entire country stops, holding its breath, to watch their team play for glory.

This track is more than just a song; it's a full-blown carnival! It’s filled with Colombian slang that brings the party to life, like '¡Qué chimba bacana!', which is a fun way to say 'This is awesome!' or 'This party is lit!'
