Siamo una Squadra Fortissimi
Ricky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stoppi la palla al volo
Come ti hai imparato tanto tempo fa
Quando giocavi invece di andare a scuola
Quanti sgridi ti prendevi da papà
Perché sognavi un giorno che avresti stato
Nell'Italia convocato
Adesso tutti sono con te
Ma ci devi dimostrare che
Siamo una squadra fortissimi
Fatta di gente fantastici
E non putimm perd
E ffa figur e mmerd
Perché noi siamo bravissimi
E super quotatissimi
E se finiamo nel balatro
La colpa è solo dell'arbitro
Cornuti
Siamo vittimi dell'arbitrarità
A noi contraria
Ecco che noi cerchiamo
Di difenderci da queste inequità
Cosí palese, grande Luciano Moggi
Dacci tanti orologi agli arbitri internazionali
Sennò cco cazz che vinciamo i mondiali
Siamo una squadra furbissimi
Fatta di gente drittissimi
E nun putimm perd e fa figur e mmerd
Perché noi siamo bravissimi
E super quotatissimi




E se qualcuno ci ostacola
Ce lo diciamo alla cupola

Overall Meaning

Ricky's song Siamo Una Squadra Fortissimi is a tribute to the sport of football and those who play it with passion and dedication. The lyrics speak to the rough-and-tumble nature of the game, and the sacrifices that are made in order to succeed. The first stanza speaks to the skills required in football, where one must be able to control the ball in mid-air, something which is taught early on in youth football. There are references to a father figure who would scold and admonish the singer for dreaming of playing for Italy one day.


The second stanza encourages the team to work together as a cohesive unit in order to win. The lyrics describe the team as being made up of fantastic people who are skilled at the game, with a promise that their hard work and dedication will pay off. The song makes reference to the idea of being scorned or mocked if the team does not win, with the singer warning the team that they cannot afford to lose. The chorus is a chant of encouragement to the team, reinforcing the idea that they are strong, skilled, and have what it takes to succeed.


The bridge of the song takes on a more political tone, making reference to the corruption that has been seen in Italian football. The lyrics mention a controversial figure, Luciano Moggi, who was involved in a match-fixing scandal. The singer suggests that giving gifts or bribes to international referees might be necessary in order for Italy to win a World Cup. The final chorus is a reprise of the first, with the team being described as smart and strong. The team vows not to lose, and that anyone who stands in their way will be dealt with accordingly.
