Football Poet - Robin van Persie Song Lyrics

Born in the shadow of Erasmus Bridge
Young Robin's talent, a rare privilege
At Varkenoord, his skills took flight
Feyenoord's jewel, shining bright
KNVB's Best Youth, a star in the making
Premier League soon, defenses shaking
From Ashburton Grove to the Theatre of Dreams
Van Persie's journey defied all schemes
Flying Dutchman soaring high
Premier League defenses he'd defy
From Rotterdam's art to football's craft
Van Persie's legacy will forever last
Manchester bound, in red he shone
Twenty titles his hunger won
Turkish adventure, Fenerbahçe's gain
Back home to Rotterdam, nostalgia reigns
Three hundred goals, a career so bright
Retiring as a legend, ending the fight
From player to coach, wisdom to impart
Van Persie's journey, a work of art
Honderd caps voor Nederland, wat een eer
Tegen Hongarije brak hij het record neer
Elf goals in kwalificatie, niemand deed het beter
In Brazilië was hij topscorer en leider
EK, WK, hij deed het allemaal
Van Persie's erfenis, internationaal
Flying Dutchman soaring high
Premier League defenses he'd defy
From Rotterdam's art to football's craft
Van Persie's legacy will forever last
