I am from banks of river Santa Lucia
From cities of Colosseum and Champs-Elysees
I am from land of Christ the Redeemer
(Tall, monumental
Towering over Rio)
I am from Gulf of Naples,
across the bay was built a bridge of boats
for Caligula to ride in a chariot
as if he were Alexander the Great
I’m from Berne and Big Ben
from Chilean Andes and the land of Samba
I’m from the kick-it-well and pass-it-ons,
from run up and sprint down
I’m from Buenos Aires
with The Obelisk
and called Paris of the South
I’m from Japan and Germany
Rising Sun and ultimate driving machine
From the passion of billions
the heart and dream of thousands
Under every bed is a box
filled with dreams
of a day of winning the race
to conquer the ultimate prize
I am from those moments
Revered and respected
I am The Trophy – Soccer World Cup trophy
