warm-up to an overture
a new pulse quickens

French flowers blooming
sunflowers simply wilting
Poppies dance for joy

upon whose resoluteness
brightness turns the night

Boots made in heaven
slide new miracles sky bound
Ronaldo speechless

new songs now to sing and learn
clouds turn to colours

Earns a kiss from Platini
Birth pangs of a dream

Jewels from Algerian heir
Le Foot boots le pen

The run sublime then he shoots
And sweeps away tears

Collects pace and then drives on
Hearts burst into life

To the word “Hero”

No equals copy your moves
A heart pumping blue

A nation gives thanks.
