Can you hear the drums, Ronaldo?
I remember how you played way back in 1998
You were taken ill, Ronaldo
You were playing in the final like a man who wasn't there
Watching someone with your talent play like that was just too much for me to bear

Crowd was on your side, Ronaldo
Everybody in the stands wanted to see you at your best
They all spurred you on, Ronaldo
You repaid them as you best know how and scored that vital brace
And I'm not ashamed to say your brilliance put a smile upon my face

There was something in the air that night
The game was right, Ronaldo!
You went on a mini scoring spree
'gainst Germany, Ronaldo!
There was no way you were gonna lose
That vital game
If I had to watch it all again
I would, my friend, Ronaldo

When you're looking back, Ronaldo
Do you reckon you could play another World Cup like this one?
And score eight more goals, Ronaldo?
Could you get another Golden Boot before your time is gone?
You could add it to the massive list of trophies that you will have won

There was something in the air that night
The game was right, Ronaldo!
You went on a mini scoring spree
'gainst Germany, Ronaldo!
There was no way you were gonna lose
That vital game
If I had to watch it all again
I would, my friend, Ronaldo
