Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Another song about him, this time he guests on lead vocals. The Argentinians had a great song about him too, and Boca, you can hear the Boca one above. Trying to find a good version of Argentina's one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing some research and found a couple of videos I thought I'd share. Here is some Argentinian artist called Manu Chao playing Maradona song he wrote about him, which it seems was a bit of a hit Worth posting the lyrics The lottery life If I was Maradona I'd live like him If I was Maradona In front of any goal If I was Maradona I'd never make a mistake If I was Maradona Lost someplace Life is a lottery Day and night Life is a lottery And up and up (x2) If I was Maradona I'd live like him A thousand rockets... a thousand friends And what may come at 1000% If I was Maradona I'd go on Mondovision To scream at the FIFA That they are the big thief Life is a lottery Day and night Life is a lottery And up and up If I was Maradona I'd live like him Because the world is a ball That has to be experienced to the fullest If I was Maradona Faced with any filth I'd never make a mistake If I was Maradona And a game to win If I was Maradona Lost someplace Nice one! I own a couple of albums by Manu Chao, he's actually French and has Spanish parents that fled Franco's dictatorship, he has spent a lot of time in South America working with numerous musicians there. A fitting tune for the wee legend. Edited December 4, 2020 by stevieKTID 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Ohhhh I just remembered something there! This Ye Olde Youtube vid was probably the first real time (2007, christ) that I started to recognise why he was so highly rated. You can probably count the pixels on one hand tbf but the [edit: Santa Esmerelda, not Santana, whoooops!] track makes up for it, as does capping it off with a certain goal...

Great wee song and the lyrics are perfect in summing up the sort of beauty and tragedy of his life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for one of my favourite ones from a while back called something like 'Maradona - you don't know how good he was' but there's so many to look through.
