I was born in Argentina
Land of Diego and Lionel
One of the boys from the Malvinas Islands that I will never forget
I can’t explain it to you because you won’t understand
The finals we lost
How many years have I cried
But all this is over
Why in the Maracana
Final with Brazuca [i brasiliani]
Dad won again
Guys now we are excited again
I want to win the third place
I want to become a world champion
And Diego from the sky we can see
with Don Diego [il padre] And with Tota [la madre]
Lionel rooting

meaning Mochachos He also did justice to another famous Argentine choir who didn’t have much luck in Brazil in 2014, given Argentina’s loss in the final to Germany. It was “Brasil decime que se siente”, a reference to the historical rivals of Brazil, with the famous syllable “Maradona es más grande que Pelé”.
