Das Fußball-Lied
Fredl Fesl
The Soccer Song
Forty-four soccer legs
Running here and running there
Because the field is limited
And that makes it especially hard
Sometimes they also stop
Or kick after the ball
Everyone can decide for themselves
That changes from case to case
One is usually dressed in black
Has a thing he blows on
And the players are offended
When he reaches into his pocket
Because in there he has cards
Yellow and red - quite well mixed
He then shows them to the player
Who kicks his opponent
Suddenly Müller is in front of the goal
The crowd shouts 'Uwe!' it seems to me
Then Müller shoots wide
Because he wasn't the one meant
Every game comes to an end
Because the players get tired
Tomorrow you'll read in the newspaper
Who won the match
At the end of the championship
We know who worked the most
Who the champion is in the world
Gets the most money
With money you can buy everything
Even people who chase after the ball
