[Verse 1]
Turn your magic on
"Umi," she'd say
Everything you want’s a dream away
And we are legends, every day
That's what she told me
Turn your magic on, to me, she'd say
"Everything you want’s a dream away"
Under this pressure, under this weight
Oh, we are diamonds

[Chorus]
And I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
I feel my heart beating
'Cause you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

[Verse 2]
Said I can't go on, not in this way
I'm a dream that died by light of day
I'm gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me

[Chorus]
And I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
I feel my heart beating
'Cause you make me feel
Like I’m alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I’m alive again

[Spoken]
[?]
Todo el mundo, por favor
Todo el mundo abajo
Todo el mundo, get down low
Abajo, let's go low
Let’s get down low
Go low, go low
Everybody go down, abajo
Todo el mundo abajo
Uno, dos, uno, dos, tres, get up!

[Bridge]
Woo, woo
If we've only got this life
This adventure, oh, then I
And if we've only got this life
You'll get me through, yeah
If we’ve only got this life
This adventure, oh, then I
Want to share it with you
With you, with you
Now sing it, too, let's go

[Outro]
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo hoo (Woo hoo), woo hoo (Woo hoo)
Woo
Muchísimas gracias

Coldplay is a British rock band, formed in 1997 by University College London classmates Chris Martin (vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar) and Guy Berryman (bass), along with drummer Will Champion. The band’s name comes from Tim Crompton, a student who was in the same university as the members (University College London) at the time.

Once they issued their debut, Parachutes in 2000, many saw them as a Radiohead knock-off. No doubt, Coldplay’s sound —elegant, melodic, vaguely spacey and very dramatic — bore plenty of similarity to mid-1990s Radiohead. But the group’s hooks, sharpened by frontman Chris Martin’s ability to pull heartstrings, and the their willingness to evolve their sound, gave Coldplay staying power. The greatest examples are second album A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), which was generally considered to be musically and lyrically more mature and sophisticated, and less obviously the product of one particular influence, and the fourth one Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), where producer Brian Eno influenced the band to broaden their sound and led to various sonic landscapes. Both won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and spawned sucessful singles such as “Clocks”, “Viva la Vida”, “In My Place”, “Violet Hill” and “The Scientist”.

As a result, the band became one of the most commercially successful acts of the new millennium, with over 80 million albums sold – even if along with the acclaim came a vocal opposition, due to the supposedly derivative nature, the overtly emotional lyrics, and the fact they’re good-mannered English boys instead of wild rockstars. As a result, Coldplay are thought as either a punchline showing all that’s wrong with 21st century rock, or a really good if overplayed band with songs tailor made for stadium performances.
