Or really any of Ricky Martin's songs - "Cup of Life" is a good example:
Do you really want it?
Do you really want it?
Do you really want it?
Go, go, go! ¡Alé, alé, alé!
Go, go, go! ¡Alé, alé, alé!
Go, go, go, here we go, yeah
The cup of life, this is the one
Now is the time, don't ever stop
Push it along, gotta be strong
Push it along, right to the top
Como Caín y Abel
Es un partido cruel
Tienes que pelear por una estrella
Consigue con honor
La copa del amor
Para sobrevivir, luchar por ella
Sí, luchar por ella (YEAH!)
Do you really want it? (YEAH!)
etc. At the end a third language makes an appearance:
Un, dos, tres
Alé, alé, alé
Un, deux, trois
Alé, alé, alé
(or maybe that last line is "Allez, allez, allez"...)
