[English]

What a great goal from Lamine

for the history of football

with a majestic left-footed shot,

Lamine Yamal to the rescue.

Lamine Yamal is like me.

Watch out who is there when things are bad,

always watch your back.

All the bullets come from behind,

few do it face to face.

No.

I didn't think about it,

I didn't imagine it either.

I come from the street,

that's why I used to dream of everything.

I was seeking it.

Money is sweet.

I had no comfort,

down on the ground.

I score and look at the sky.

I don't miss anyone.

I'm one of the real ones,

I'd die for my people.

Always alone on my street,

alone until I die.

I never had luck, not even knocking on wood.

On the street there are no borders.

People don't look at you strangely.

Everything is brazen, and cheap things end up being expensive.

So expensive, and if it's expensive,

And it's strange, so strange,

that everyone is by your side in triumph

and over time you forget who was there.

Listen.

Lamine.

Yamal.

One.

Nine.

Lamine.

Yamal.

One.

Nine.

Lamine Yamal, the street plays in the first division.

I'm always calm,

I don't hesitate or show off.

I don't hang out with those who are

feeding me lies.

I'm too good,

but I do mess some up.

I don't envy anyone, I worry if I'm making progress.

I walk straight ahead, I don't worry if I crash,

crash

and making money

and even so I'm not crazy.

Because I've had a lot

as well as having little.

When there was a lot

when there was the most pressure.

Mom is from Africa.

Dad is from Africa.

I come from the streets,

that's why I have self-esteem.

Mom is from Africa.

Dad is from Africa.

I come from the street, but I'm going for the top.

Lamine Yamal, the street plays in the first division.

Mom is from Africa.

Dad is from Africa.

From 304 representing the street.

Mom is from Africa.

Dad is from Africa.

From 304 representing the street.

Qué golazo de Lamine

para la historia del fútbol

con un zurdazo majestuoso,

Lamine Yamal al rescate.

Lamine Yamal meluch mi tal.

Vigila quien está en las malas,

vigila siempre tu espalda.

De espalda vienen todas las balas,

hay pocos que lo hacen de cara.

No.

No lo pensaba,

tampoco imaginaba.

Vengo de la calle,

por eso todo lo soñaba.

Estaba buscándomelo.

Dinero es un caramelo.

No tenía consuelo,

tirado en el suelo.

Marco y miro al cielo.

A nadie anhelo.

Soy de los reales,

por los míos yo me muero.

Solitario siempre en mi acera,

solitario hasta que me muera.

Nunca tuve suerte ni tocando la madera.

En la calle no hay fronteras.

No te ponen las caras raras.

Todo es un descaro y lo barato sale caro.

Tan caro y si es caro,

Y es raro, tan raro,

que todos en el triunfo están al lado

y en el tiempo se te olvida.

Oye.

Lamine.

Yamal.

Uno.

Nueve.

Lamine.

Yamal.

Uno.

Nueve.

Lamine Yamal, la calle juega en primera.

Siempre soy tranquilo,

ni vacilo ni presumo.

No me llevo de los que están

vendiéndome humo.

Soy demasiado bueno,

pero a alguno sí lo empomo.

No envidio a nadie, me preocupo si yo sumo.

Camino todo recto, no preocupo si yo choco,

choco

y ganando dinero

y aun así yo no estoy loco.

Porque he tenido mucho

como también tener poco.

Cuando había mucho

cuando más había sofoco.

Mamá es de África.

Papá es de África.

Vengo de las calles,

por eso tengo autoestima.

Mamá es de África.

Papá es de África.

Vengo de la calle, pero voy para la cima.

Lamine Yamal, la calle juega en primera.

Mamá es de África.

Papá es de África.

Desde el 304 representando la calle.

Key Grammar Structures

• Qué golazo de Lamine

  ➔ Exclamatory sentences with "Qué + noun"

  ➔ "Qué" is used before a noun to form an exclamation, expressing strong emotion or emphasis, similar to "What a...!". Here, "golazo" means a great goal.

• Estaba buscándomelo.

  ➔ Imperfect Progressive with double object pronouns attached

  ➔ The imperfect progressive tense ("estaba buscando") describes an ongoing action in the past. The pronouns "me" (indirect object, 'for myself') and "lo" (direct object, 'it') are attached to the gerund, a common structure in informal speech.

• No tenía consuelo, tirado en el suelo.

  ➔ Past participle used as an adjective/state

  ➔ "Tirado" is the past participle of "tirar" (to throw). Here, it functions adjectivally to describe the state of the implied subject (I), meaning 'lying' or 'thrown' on the ground.

• Solitario hasta que me muera.

  ➔ "Hasta que" + Subjunctive mood for future events

  ➔ "Hasta que" (until) requires the subjunctive mood when referring to a future event that has not yet occurred or is not a habitual action. "Muera" is the present subjunctive of "morir" (to die).

• lo barato sale caro.

  ➔ Nominalization with "Lo + adjective" and idiom "salir caro"

  ➔ "Lo + adjective" creates a noun phrase meaning 'the [adjective] thing/aspect'. So, "lo barato" means 'the cheap thing'. "Salir caro" is an idiom meaning 'to end up being expensive' or 'to come at a high cost'.

• y en el tiempo se te olvida.

  ➔ Impersonal/Accidental "se" with indirect object pronoun

  ➔ This "se" construction indicates that the action (forgetting) occurs without a specific agent, often implying it's an 'accidental' event. The indirect object pronoun "te" shows who is affected by the action ('it is forgotten to you' or 'you forget').

• No me llevo de los que están vendiéndome humo.

  ➔ Idiom "no llevarse de" + Relative clause + Present Progressive with attached double object pronoun + Idiom "vender humo"

  ➔ "No llevarse de" is an idiom meaning 'not to associate with' or 'not to be influenced by'. "Los que" means 'those who'. "Están vendiéndome humo" is the present progressive, where "vender humo" is an idiom meaning 'to deceive' or 'to sell false hopes', and "me" is the indirect object pronoun attached to the gerund.

• Porque he tenido mucho como también tener poco.

  ➔ Present Perfect tense + "como también" + infinitive as noun

  ➔ The present perfect tense ("he tenido") describes past experiences relevant to the present. "Como también" means 'as well as' or 'and also'. The infinitive "tener" is used here as a noun phrase ('having little') to parallel "mucho" ('much').

• Desde el 304 representando la calle.

  ➔ "Desde" indicating origin + Gerund as adverbial phrase

  ➔ "Desde" indicates a starting point or origin, in this case, a specific location or area code (304). The gerund "representando" functions as an adverbial phrase, explaining the action performed 'from' that origin.
