Merci, Zizou.

We will never be here again
time is no longer your friend
from here on out, we see things through
victory depends on you
So play with all you've got
this is your one and only shot
in 4 years you'll have gone rotten
life's too short to die forgotten.

Here is where men become kings
so forget about everything
you and the ball are perfect
show them one last time you're worth it
Show them Zizou is the champ
no more room for aches or cramps
in 4 years you'll have gone rotten
life's too short to die forgotten.

Let go of your numbing fears
give them blood and sweat and tears
let glory carry you unto the skies
the legend is born, the hero dies
Make their women throw you bizous
the only name they'll chant is Zizou's
in 4 years you'll have gone rotten
life's too short to die forgotten.

No one knows what history remembers
will you burn away and be lost to the embers
or will your name last an eternity
through this game of universal fraternity
They will say Zizou blessed this sport
this is my love, my thanks and support
for all the dreams that you've begotten
gone, retired but never forgotten.
