THE LAST DANCE (LEO MESSI)
Aiming for the stars,
nothing is complete
without your melody
on that green pitch
where you craft art and magic.
Out there in the infinite
lies your destinyβ
that of a player who,
amidst the depths
of profound emotion,
reveals himself time and again
as a god of the game.
Play, young man,
do not speak of the end;
every pulse of ours
mirrors a move of yours that knows no bounds.
Chills run deep
at every masterpiece you createβ
sculpting the divine
within each of us,
even in our moments of oblivion.
Play, young man,
do not stop;
every dribble of yours
is a surging, mighty wave.
A thousand emotions
shared over these years;
others may be stars,
but you are the only King.
Play, young man,
for your Argentina
and for the world,
between the touchline
and the deep, vast sea.
You danced with the ball
like a poet with his verses;
let nothing be a final goodbye
within memories that never fade.
Dance, young man,
the heavens admire you;
thank you for everythingβ
your name lives on within us.
The final cry on the pitchβ
Messi,
Messi,
Messiβ
heralds a new golden dawn,
the crowing of the rooster
at this
last dance.
A.C.
