Give Me Soccer
It's an injection that God,
gave to all the guys,
it's not played by twenty-two...
but by over a hundred million.
An Englishman brought it here,
in funny pants,
it's not played with feet,
it's played with hearts.
Give me soccer, I want soccer,
a passion that never runs dry
Give me soccer, I want soccer
that mends broken souls
Give me soccer, I want soccer
because in the other games in the world
they never pass you the ball.
My wife wants to go out
to show off her best clothes
and how am I supposed to go
if the cup is on TV.
My wife didn't leave me,
she got over her mad anger
she started watching TV...
and guess what she was shouting.
Give me soccer, I want soccer.....
With rain, wind, or sun
my heart fills up
with the music of the goal
life is worth living.
There's no explanation
if one day it's my time to die,
I’ll postpone the funeral...
to watch River and Boca.
Give me soccer....
