From Brescia's fields to San Siro's light
Pirlo's vision set the stage alight
Maestro of the midfield, architect supreme
Turning football into art, living the dream
With a flick of his boot, the ball takes flight
Opponents frozen, caught in his sight
Deep-lying playmaker, pulling the strings
In Milan's red and black, he spreads his wings
Ma-ma-ma-maestro, of the midfield art
Whoo-oh-oh-oh Pirlo, nation's beating heart
L'architetto, drawing blueprints on the grass
Pirlo's passes slice through, first to last
Andrea, Andrea, the thinking man's choice
In the beautiful game, a singular voice
Brescia's Baggio, his inspiration
Maledetta technique, a pure creation
Ballon d'Or nominee, year after year
FIFPro World XI, peers hold him dear
Pallone Azzurro, the nation's pride
A century of caps, taken in stride
MLS adventure, across the sea
Retiring in style, football royalty
Maglia azzurra, centosedici volte
Mondiali, Europei, emozioni raccolte
Van Gaal e Ancelotti, maestri ispiratori
La Juventus di Conte, tattiche superiori
Tesi di Coverciano, "Il calcio che vorrei"
Cento e sette su cento dieci, che direi
Dal campo alla panchina, sempre innovatore
Pirlo, calcio d'autore, eterno splendore
Ma-ma-ma-maestro, of the midfield art
Whoo-oh-oh-oh Pirlo, nation's beating heart
L'architetto, drawing blueprints on the grass
Pirlo's passes slice through, first to last
Andrea, Andrea, the thinking man's choice
In the beautiful game, a singular voice
