E novamente ele chegou com inspiração
And again he arrived with inspiration
Com muito amor, com emoção
With a lot of love, with emotion
Com explosão e gol
With an explosion and a goal
Sacudindo a torcida aos trinta e três minutos do segundo tempo
Shaking the fans at thirty-three minutes into the second half
Depois de fazer uma jogada celestial em gol!
After making a heavenly play into the goal!
Tabelou, driblou dois zagueiros
He passed, dribbled two defenders
Deu um toque, driblou o goleiro
Gave a touch, dribbled the goalkeeper
Só não entrou com bola e tudo
It just didn't go in with ball and all
Porque teve humildade em gol!
Because he had humility in front of the goal!
Foi um gol de classe
It was a classy goal
Onde ele mostrou sua malícia e sua raça
Where he showed his mischief and his spirit
Foi um gol de anjo, um verdadeiro gol de placa
It was an angel's goal, a truly remarkable score
Que a galeria agradecida assim cantava
The grateful crowd sang along like this
Foi um gol de anjo, um verdadeiro gol de placa
It was an angel's goal, a truly remarkable score
Que a galeria agradecida assim cantava
The grateful crowd sang along like this
Fio Maravilha, nós gostamos de você

Fio Maravilha, faz mais um pra a gente ver!
Fio Maravilha, score one more for us to see!
Fio Maravilha, nós gostamos de você
Fio Maravilha, we really like you
Fio Maravilha, faz mais um pra a gente ver!
Fio Maravilha, score one more for us to see!
Fio Maravilha, nós gostamos de você
Fio Maravilha, we really like you
Fio Maravilha, faz mais um pra a gente ver!
Fio Maravilha, make us one more to see!
