"'Alegra'" is a pop song by Cirque du Soleil (from their show of the same name), which was recorded in 1994 with the voice of Francesca Gagnon.

The song is a multi-lingual adaptation (in English, Italian and Spanish) of another Cirque du Soleil song titled "Un pazzo gridar", written by Ren Dupr and Franco Dragone and featuring Italian-only lyrics. "Un pazzo gridar" is also a song from the show Alegra.

In 1999, Cirque du Soleil recorded a new version of the song for their film "Alegra, the Film". This new version was also included in the soundtrack of the movie, and received a Genie Award nomination for Best Original Song at the 20th Genie Awards.

In 2006, Cirque du Soleil recorded a new multi-lingual adaptation (in English, Portuguese and Spanish) titled "La nova alegra" for their arena show Delirium. This new adaptation was written by Ren Dupr, Robert Dillon, Franco Dragone, Paolo Ramos and Manuel Tadros.
