Pelé Song Lyrics

Hey, mate, you remember that Pelé bloke?

Started with a sock ball, now that's no joke

In Bauru's alleys, he'd dance and prance

He gave defenders nightmares, no second chance

At Radium's indoor courts, he'd spin and twirl

Then Santos came calling for this rare pearl

Lula saw him trial, said, "Sign him quick!

Fifteen years old, he was already slick

Pelé, oh Pelé, the boy from Minas Gerais

Dribbling hearts from São Paulo to Marseilles

A thousand games, a thousand thrills

The Beautiful Game's greatest frills

Remember '58, his World Cup debut?

Injury couldn't stop him, he broke right through

Hat-trick against France, then two in the final

Sweden stood in awe, his talent primal

They say he almost went to Manchester United

But Brazil made him a treasure, and fans were delighted

From Santos to Cosmos, he changed the game

New York fell in love, American fame

O jogo bonito, ele nos mostrou

Com graça e poder, nos encantou

De Edson a Pelé, uma jornada sem fim

O futebol nunca mais será assim

Três vezes campeão, eterno número 10

Sua história vive, além do vai e vem

Pelé, o rei, para sempre vai reinar

No coração de quem ama o jogar

Pelé, oh Pelé, the boy from Minas Gerais

Dribbling hearts from São Paulo to Marseilles

A thousand games, a thousand thrills

The Beautiful Game's greatest frills
