Greetings to you all
and raise your glass
because I am the best
me for you only Best
if I hadn't been
then so charming
today almost no one
would remember Pelè
My whole life
has been a wild ride
I spent the earnings
of my best years
on fast and shiny cars
with important women
but the rest of the money
I have all thrown away
I am the modern football
of your masters
I am the genius of football
br/>of these rebellious years
I am Best
I am Best
my name is Best
I am Best
I am the wing that pushes
I'm the playmaker
the one who pretends to dribble
jumps the man shoots and then scores
I'm the golden ball
in this '68 of mine
a rebel on the field
with the stadium in delirium
I am the wrong son
in these now dead times
I am the world that changes
that runs faster and faster
I am Best
I am Best
My name is Best
I am Best
To more women and engines
To more rivers of beer
To bottles now empty of vodka, whiskey and martinis
to the wrong friends
in too many crowded pubs
where the last round
of my hour has arrived
raise your glasses
for this last time
but look and think
about my sad end
I am Best
I am Best
my name is Best
I They are Best (x2)
