Moving the ball with effortless ease
He glides through the field with a panther's pace
His gaze fixed on the opponent's goal
His eyes focusing on how to unleash
The ball right into the opponent's net
And walk away in glory like winning a bet.
Maradona is his unique name
A soccer player with gusto and verve
With his natural talent for the game
He seldom or never lose his nerve.
His speed of foot, his ball control
All reflect classic finesse
His uncanny knack to score a goal
Also highlights his greatness.
He is seldom hesitant, irate or glum
A born athlete, his stamina rules...
After Pele' we saw this rising sun
Steal glories from the teams that came.
Yes, he is called Diego Maradona
A soccer player from Argentina.
Dashing and bold, with a handsome mein
He is the master of the ball on grass.
We have seen many a footballer
Like Dino Zoff and Beckenbauer
They all did well and are on par
Till Maradona shot ahead by far...
