Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal Retirement Song Lyrics

Lisbon, Wales, the last night he played 7 shots, and not one went his way Nobody knew it was the end Ronaldo never got to wave to them Oslo, warmed up on the line, and they never called him on The team walked to the fans, and the 7 walked alone Copenhagen, packed his bag, 23 years in a case Then he left without a word, just the look on his face He said in due course he'll tell us the truth And until then there's only silence Every kid in Portugal with a 7 on his shirt Is asking where the time went Denmark next in line 7 out of sight 23 years, one shirt Over in a night 234 times he wore it And he gave it all he had Now the shirt is folded up And the captain isn't coming back Ronaldo walked away Never got to say Why it ends this way Who's gonna make him stay? 234 in the red and green And the last one came, and it went unseen Ronaldo walked away Never got to say why it ends this way Who's gonna make him stay? 146, no man ever scored more So why did the captain walk out the door? Subscribe to FootyTracks, we'll be here when he talks He talks Paris, 2016, carried off in tears Coached them from the side, and the trophy was theirs Kazakhstan to Copenhagen, every mile of the years Now the 7's on the hanger, and the captain disappears Walked away 234 times he wore it, and he gave it all he had 234 times he wore it And he gave it all he had Now the shirt is folded up And the captain isn't coming back Ronaldo walked away Never got to say Why it ends this way Who's gonna make him stay? 146, no man ever scored more So why did the captain walk out the door?
