Dreamers: the lyrics and meaning
Football players that made it to the World Cup are honored in the film Dreamers. They are the dreamers—those who genuinely thought they could succeed. Because it signifies the conclusion of a route where you never stop believing in your dream, Jungkook emphasizes the significance of being there already under the philosophy that contends that success is less significant than participation.
Look who we are, we are the dreamers
We make it happen, ’cause we believe it
The bottom line is that we no longer need to monitor our progress or wait for outcomes. We are here, which is already a tremendous accomplishment. Our participation in the World Cup serves as a representation of our past perseverance in never giving up on our goals. From this perspective, Jungkook sees the World Cup athletes as role models for everyone.
Here’s to the ones, that keep the passion
Respect, oh, yeah
The World Cup is now like a huge festival commemorating passion for sports and healthy enjoyment since everything is prepared. People adore sports at the stadiums because Jungkook uses the lyrics of Dreamers to spread a positive message about how to enjoy them both as a player and a fan.
Gather ’round now, look at me
Respect the love the only way
If you wanna come, come with me
The door is open now every day
This one plus two, rendezvous all invited
What’s the “Ala ho la dan” in Dreamers lyrics?
The stadium line “Ala ho la dan,” which is meant to be shouted in unison, is the song’s opening and closing notes. People sometimes question what these lines mean in English, and several users on Twitter responded by explaining that it is a well-known song that sailors in the Arabian Gulf used to sing before setting off on their sea voyages. For the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, many people linked it to Shakira’s “Waka Waka,” a local term made well-known by one of the official songs.
