The official song.

This is the official song of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Colombia 2011 which is performed  in Vallenato and Cumbia rythms. This kinds of music are native from Colombia, from the nothern-Caribbean  departments (states) which is played in accordion, drum, and guacharaca (a slotted board played with a metal rod).
The interpreter is Jorge Celedón, a famous Colombian Vallenato song-writer.
This are the lyrics traslated into English: 


Our party

To see the stars and even to touch them
all the roads drive to my nation
There is an open sky t
hat invites you to enjoy
my people who embrace you and give you their heart.

Colombia is Caribbean and Pacific
where the sun shines for everyone
feel the happiness, live the emotion
enjoy live, Colombia is Love

chorus:
Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal . . . 

This is a party you will not forget
feel at home, we are going to have a good time
and after all you will want to stay
a friendly hand you will find, come on.

Colombia is Caribbean and Pacific
where the sun shines for everyone
Colombia is coffee, feel its folklore
live our party, Colombia is love.

Shout that goal . . . 

chorus:
Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal . . . 

Blow the whistles, shout, sing, be happy
enjoy life, live in peace
and do not stop, give everything for your country
that at the end the triumph will shine. 

chorus:
Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal . . .
