You should have tried
But You were afraid
Because Life was too much
A serious game to play
For your teenage dreams being
Taken seriously by your Family
In the worst historical Time
One could be born
Maybe You could have failed
Or you could have succeeded
Nobody could tell now
And all I know is that
You didn't want to deceive
Your Parents' dreams
Still You deceived them
Anyway, otherwise
Because your greatest fear
Was to be successful
When You thought
You should just be grateful
For being successful enough
To be alive
And so am I
But something is changing
And I know You'll be proud.
To the Most Beloved and the Most Regretted

"Capocannoniere" is the highest goalscorer.
