El pibe nos va a salvar (track #1)

THE KID IS GOING TO SAVE US
© Lucio Arce

I have a kid who steps on it, kneads it, shines with it
More than a promise. he’s already a reality
And with all that future, I won’t have to work
Even though he’s only twelve, you should see how he plays with it
This Monday, early in the morning, I’ll take him to the Capital
He’ll live every kids dream, he’ll play in Boca or River
And in Spain or in Italy we will strike it rich

CHORUS
You listen to me, this is how it is,
Let me handle it
We’re going straight to Madrid
I can see him stepping onto the Bernabeu
You’ll see lean times ending
When the kid steps into the box
And the stands start to cheer
And tell the butcher we’ll pay him later
Because any day now,
The kid is going to save us!

You keep him healthy, lots of beef and spaghetti
Afterwards, he’ll watch videos of Diego in the national team
Then I’ll take him to the park to juggle the ball for a while
With the cloth ball I made with my old underwear
Hold on, be patient, if money is short
This is our hope, he’s got the soul of a champion
Soon you’ll see when the world screams “ole”
This kid with his goals is export quality

CHORUS II
You listen to me, this is how it is,
Let me handle it
We’re going straight to Rome
To Milan or Barcelona or the Athletic
You’ll see lean times ending
When the kid steps into the box
And the stands start to cheer
And tell the grocer we’ll pay him later
Because I know that some day,
The kid is going to save us!
