La Mano de Dios

In a small town he was born
It was God's wish
To grow and survive
In humble expression,

To face adversity
With the drive to earn his way,
Through life.

In a field he forged
An immortal left foot
With experience
Thirsty ambition
To make it, as a little guy
He dreamed of playing in a World Cup
And making it big
Maybe playing could help
His family out.

Soon after he debuted
Maradó, maradó
The fans were the ones who sang
Maradó, maradó
His dream had a star
Full of goals and flair
And the whole town sang
Maradó, maradó
The hand of God was born
Maradó, maradó
He brought joy to the town
He spread glory on this ground.

He carried a cross on his shoulders
For being the best
For never selling out
He faced the power
Curious weakness
If Jesus stumbled
Why wouldn’t he?

Fame introduced him to a white woman
With a mysterious taste
And forbidden pleasure
In his habit of desire
And using it again
Involving his life
And it’s a match that one day
Diego is about to win.

Soon after he debuted
Maradó, maradó
The fans were the ones who sang
Maradó, maradó
His dream had a star
Full of goals and flair
And the whole town sang
Maradó, maradó
The hand of God was born
Maradó, maradó
He sowed joy in the town
Filled this ground with glory.

Soon after he debuted,

Full of goals and flair
And the whole town sang
Maradó, maradó

He spread glory on this ground.
