In a slum I was born, it was gods will that I grow up and survive.
This humble example to face adversity
Eager to succeed in life.
With each step I took
On the playground,
I forged an immortal left hand.
With experience
A burning ambition to make it
As a young buck, I dreamed of the world cup
And rising to the top in Primera
Perhaps by playing, I could help my family
From the very outset,
The Doce cheered
My dream contained a star
Full of goals and dodges
And all the people sang
The Hand of God was born
Sowed joy in the people
Brought glory to this land
Bearing a cross on my shoulders for being the best
For not selling out I confronted the powerful
Curious weakness if Jesus stumbled
Why shouldn't I too
Fame introduced me to a white woman
Of mysterious taste and forbidden pleasure
Who addicted me to the desire to use her again?
Taking my whole life
And this is a match that someday I am going to win
From the very outset
The Doce cheered
My dream contained a star Full of goals and dodges
And all the people sang
The Hand of God was born
Sowed joy in the people
Brought glory to this land.
