About The Song

The song charts the life of the legendary Brazilian footballer, Pelé, credited with being the World’s best footballer, ever. He died on 29th December 2022.

“As a kid I loved to watch Pelé playing in those bright yellow and blue colours, so synonymous with Brazil. Pelé was just sensational. His ball skills
and ability were incredible and best of all he was a genuine sportsman through and through.

I think it’s only fitting that we pay tribute and remember Pelé for being the greatest footballer that ever lived, by putting his legend into a song so his memory won’t fade away. I hope every anniversary of his death this song will be played around the world as a remembrance of Pelé.” commented John.

Lyrics

A boy born in a Brazilian slum
Would one day be a world star
His father taught him football
And it was clear he’d go far

He wore the number ten shirt
The bright yellow shirt
Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!

His parents named him Edson
But his friends called him Pelé
He learned the art of Ginga
Playing with style and game play

He wore the number ten shirt
The bright yellow shirt
Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!

At fifteen he played for Santos
And at sixteen playing for Brazil
Just seventeen winning his first World Cup
Followed by two more! What skill!

He wore the number ten shirt
The bright yellow shirt
Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!

He was flawless and complete
Voted Player of the Century
Was football invented for him?
His ability, his speed, such intensity!

He wore the number ten shirt
The bright yellow shirt
Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!

Pelé made football the beautiful game
The world mourned when he passed away
To the best sportsman that ever lived
We all say goodbye… Pelé

He wore the number ten shirt
The bright yellow shirt
Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!
