Football Poet - Ferenc Puskás Song Lyrics

Danube Swabian roots, in Budapest's heart
A seamstress mother, gave the boy his start
The Őrnagy rose, through ranks he'd climb
His left foot magic, defying all time
Central European Cup, he'd claim with pride
Top scorer's crown, ten goals amplified
A fractured ankle couldn't keep him down
In fifty-four, he chased World Cup renown
Puskás Ferenc, the Galloping Major
Honvéd's pride, then a Spanish savior
Eight hundred and six goals, none any greater
Football's first global gladiator
Four games for Spain, a new citizenship
World Cup sixty-two, another championship
Charity ambassador, giving back with grace
UEFA Jubilee, Hungary's saving face
In Pelé's top hundred, among the elite
In Wolverhampton, a nostalgic treat
Returning home after decades away
His legacy in every pass and play
Népstadion új neve, tiszteletére
Kisbolygó az égen, örök emlékére
Újtemető utca, Kispest szívében
Róla lett elnevezve, szeretetében
Puskás Aréna, méltó örökség
Akadémia, kupák, új reménység
FIFA-díj a legszebb gólnak jár ma
Puskás Ferenc, futball új királya
Puskás Ferenc, the Galloping Major
Honvéd's pride, then a Spanish savior
Eight hundred and six goals, none any greater
Football's first global gladiator
