Belle Da Jour pour Les Bleus

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The beauty still unfolds
Grown flesh on flesh
In Monet’s flags remembered
Pulses stitched with the energy of heroes
Stars explode into goals
As legends
Forge immortality

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Rich memories flow
Through heart and blood stream
The language passion’s theme
Expression Football ah Le Foot
Fontaine, Giresse and Kopa live again
Down the corridors of glory
Play on play on with love’s refrain

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Zidane, Thuram and Desailly
These saxophones blow beauty
As they orchestrate new “les marseillaise”.

Notes

The wonderful French World Cup winning team of ’98.
