PELÉ

from a Black power, a human power
from a Black strength, a human strength
on Brazil´s ground was crowned
a modern King: Pelé!

 

call it football, call it soccer
Pelé forever is its first King!

 

like in the Carnival beat
Pelé was born with magic rhythmic feet!

 

from the green and yellow land
he shined through… grounds around the world
and in his craft teamed in three World Cups!
as he is one of a triple heart

 

gladiator of the foot ball
out of feet, out of chest
out of head, out of heart
the striking goal!!!

 

century mark, by his athlete acts
from the master in his art

 

in the beautiful game he set his fame
and still remains
a humble heart grounded by
the boy that grips the “garra”
inside the man
that knows and showed
was born and raised with a grace
hailed home and far away

 

history of Victory: Pelé
the one from Three Hearts
the one of triple World Cups!

 

a Brazilian legacy of the World!
