Els Amics de les Arts Lyrics

Amb un bon onze inicial
Starting strong with a skilled team

Vull guanyar tres punts de glòria
Trying to win three points for victory

Per la porta principal
Entering gloriously and as the main winner

Entrar als annals de la història
Becoming part of history with a monumental victory

I és que en temes de lligar

Bé que es pot perdre una lliga

Si no està tot estudiat
If everything isn't planned out

Si la tàctica fa figa
If the strategy isn't working

De porter per parar els gols
Playing as a goalkeeper to stop goals

Em posaré una cuirassa
Wearing protective gear to avoid getting hurt or taken advantage of

Per si d'entre naps i cols
In case of unexpected situations

Va i m'enduc una carbassa
Getting defeated and feeling like a pumpkin (a term in Catalan soccer)

I una defensa de quatre
And a defense of four players

Amb centrals ben contundents
With strong central defenders

La prudència i la paciència

Imperant en tot moment

Si les coses van maldades
In case things go wrong

Penso plantar l'autobús
Defending heavily and playing cautiously

Quatre frases mal comptades

I que passin els minuts

I em reservo a la banqueta

Són els típics trenca-cames

Un accent agironat

Que m'esforço en remarcar

Deixant-se caure a l'esquerra

Pivot recuperador

Fixo la mirada a terra
