Football Poet - Diego Maradona Song Lyrics

In Fiorito's heart, a pitch of mud and stone
Where young Diego's talent was first shown
Francisco Cornejo first spotted the lad
Asked for ID, couldn't believe what he'd had
Cebollitas' streak reached one forty-one games
An unbeaten run, stuff of footballing flames
Maradona, the ball boy, a halftime delight
Tricks and flicks, a mesmerizing sight
Na na na, di-di-diego
Whoa oh oh, el fuego!
Diego, Diego, more than just goals
A cultural icon with a thousand roles
Diego, Diego, a football quake
El Diez's impact, impossible to fake
First to set the world transfer fee record twice
Barcelona, then Napoli, for a hefty price
He partied with Queen in '81 backstage
Rock and football, on the same page
In Mexico '86, he led Argentina to glory
Captain fantastic, he wrote a World Cup story
Dubai's sports scene, he came to guide
His global impact, an unstoppable tide
En Nápoles, ídolo y rey coronado
Dos Scudetti y una Copa, el club transformado
Contra la Juve y Milan, el sur se alzó
"El más humano de los dioses" triunfó
Fiorito a San Paolo, un viaje de gloria
Nápoles y Argentina, misma trayectoria
Del barro a la cima, su vida una novela
Maradona eterno, su fútbol aún vuela
Na na na, di-di-diego
Whoa oh oh, el fuego!
Diego, Diego, more than just goals
A cultural icon with a thousand roles
Diego, Diego, a football quake
El Diez's impact, impossible to fake
