Soccer Girls

Fussballmädchen football girls
Fussballmädchen soccer girls

An awesome thing to see
Is our girls' football team
You'll see them practicing twice a week
You'll hardly ever see them in defeat
They're sweating and they're fighting
You won't them hear them sighing
They're running passing and they score
They are to adore
Wearing their white shirts 
and waving their fair hair
They're looking almost 
like angels with an infernal glare

Fussballmädchen Fussballmädchen
They're not here for the fame
They're here for the game
Fussballmädchen Fussballmädchen
This game won't make them ever rich
But they don't give a shit

Fussballmädchen football girls
Fussballmädchen soccer girls

Not everyone can dig
Why they love to kick
Football's meant for males
Is one European tale
It's true that their clean shirts
Will get full of dirt
They don't care at all
They love to kick the ball
Wearing their red shorts 
and their soccer boots
They're entering the ground 
and you know they won't lose

Fussballmädchen Fussballmädchen
They're not here for the fame
They're here for the game
Fussballmädchen Fussballmädchen
This game won't make them ever rich
But they don't give a shit

Sometimes they are practicing 
against the team of younger boys
To lose against those little devil's 
doesn't give them much joy
And they're yelling

Fussballmädchen Fussballmädchen
They're not here for the fame
They're here for the game
Fussballmädchen Fussballmädchen
This game won't make them ever rich
But they don't give a shit

This song for free on Jamendo.

I used to take my son home from his football practice, watching the last minutes of his training. At the same time on the other half of the pitch the girls who were two years older were practicing. Whereas the boys love to play team shirts of their favourite players, dreaming of becoming stinking rich stars themselves, the girls are wearing plain sport shirts. Women's football today is still the say way men's football used to be: not just there for the money and for entertainment of the masses, but just for the sports. I appreciate this a lot. And so I wrote my hymn to girls' and women's football. I hired my daughter to do the girls choir. She hates football but she loves to sing.
