Full lyrics
Quem é aquele moço com a bola no pé?
(É o Rei Pelé!)
Eu perguntei quem é o moço com a bola no pé?
(É o Rei Pelé!)
A bola lhe deu dinheiro,
Lhe deu nome, lhe deu fama,
A bola lhe colocou
Entre os maiores dos homens
Quem é o moço com a bola no pé?
(É o Rei Pelé!)
Sim, mas quem é aquele moço com a bola no pé?
(É o Rei Pelé!)
Ele tem um drible certo
E tem um tiro certeiro.
Com ele não tem defesa,
Pra ele não tem goleiro.
É tricampeão do mundo,
É o rei dos artilheiros.
Quem é o moço com a bola no pé?
(É o Rei Pelé!)
Olha, quem é aquele moço com a bola no pé?
(É o Rei Pelé!)
Translation
Who is that young man with the ball at his feet?
(It's King Pelé!)
I asked who is the young man with the ball at his feet?
(It's King Pelé!)
The ball gave him money,
Gave him a name, gave him fame,
The ball placed him
Among the greatest of men
Who is the young man with the ball at his feet?
(It's King Pelé!)
Yes, but who is that young man with the ball at his feet?
(It's King Pelé!)
He has a sure dribble
And has an accurate shot.
With him there's no defense,
For him there's no goalkeeper.
He's a three-time world champion,
He's the king of goal scorers.
Who is the young man with the ball at his feet?
(It's King Pelé!)
Look, who is that young man with the ball at his feet?
(It's King Pelé!)
