[verse]

The balls are rolling on the grass so green

A new season starts with a rising dream

At N.E.C. in Nijmegen town

A star is born with his shiny crown

His name is Kodai Sano so bright

From Japan he came to shine in the light

With wonder shoes that sparkle and glow

He steals the show wherever he goes

[pre-chorus]

From the youth he rose unknown

Now his skills are widely shown

Quick his steps and sharp his sight

Dancing past defenders light

[chorus]

Oh Kodai Sano what a sight

Feet of gold that shine so bright

Oh Kodai Sano N.E.C.'s pride

With wonder shoes he lights the night

[verse]

He shoots from far the keeper's blind

The ball flies swift and true you'll find

Along the line he dribbles fast

The crowd cheers loud as nets are passed

[pre-chorus]

Every move is pure delight

Every game he shines so bright

Opponents watch in pure dismay

As he weaves his magic play

[chorus]

Oh Kodai Sano what a sight

Feet of gold that shine so bright

Oh Kodai Sano N.E.C.'s pride

With wonder shoes he lights the night

[bridge]

Shoes that float like wings in air

Magic steps beyond compare

Too fast to catch too quick to see

The king of field he'll always be

[chorus]

Oh Kodai Sano what a sight

Feet of gold that shine so bright

Oh Kodai Sano N.E.C.'s pride

With wonder shoes he lights the night
