Amico uligano [English translation]

You, my friend, a soccer fan who goes to the stadium

with your eyes inflamed with joy1

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh goal.

Then you meet your friend, a fan

of the opposing team, ahaha...

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh goal.

With the innocence of a 20-years old

and your pretty little face ahaha...

You don't make a big deal

of the colour of a jersey or a face.

So put away your pocket knife too,

come on, don't be an asshole.

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh goal.

One day I was

on the stands2 with hardcore fans

of the Marrapollese3,

they told me: Sir,

you have to move to the other stand,

please.

I told them: but,

dear fans, my friends,

it's only a game (it's not a fire4)

and they showed me

the pocket knife and...

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh goal.

So many goals in the soccer match,

so many goals in your life,

before the whistle [of the referee]

ends it, ah...

Death already has

a black card ready for you, but you...

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh

Goal, ohohohohohohohohoh goal.

You, my friend, a hooligan with somewhat short hair

so manly and so childish, uuuuh!

You cause a lot of trouble,

you never ever stop,

you are a little blond devil5.

Your friend the policeman is waiting for you

he invites you to get into the police van

don't fight off his charge of affection,

jump in, get in and off you go.

The hand that held the truncheon

now holds

the hand that held the pocket knife,

but this is the match of your life

and this is your best goal.

Goal, goal, goal

it's a goal goal goal, oh goal

goal goal goal, score a goal,

score a goal, come on, score a goal,

score a goal.
