In Pilgrimstad’s sea breeze young traces still remain
At Alkmaar’s youth camp football dreams began to gain
Beneath Ajax’s starry light his will turned into steel
Across Europa’s clubs he chased the field he’d feel
In the back three he’s a rock so strong winning headers with a hero’s song
Long diagonals cross the sky left-flank links spark the attack on high
One-two-one plays ignite the fight teammates respond with all their might
A pivot in set pieces too his header goals shock the foe through and through
He’s no shadow of Van Dijk no—
He’ll write his own story let it show
Sassuolo’s moonlight shines so bright
Hamburg’s cold frost can’t dim his might
Korea’s rains may never cease
Now in Chengdu he builds a iron peace
With passion burning he won’t retreat
For Rongcheng’s glory he’ll compete
He’s no shadow of Van Dijk no—
He’ll write his own story let it show
Sassuolo’s moonlight shines so bright
Hamburg’s cold frost can’t dim his might
Korea’s rains may never cease
Now in Chengdu he builds a iron peace
With passion burning he won’t retreat
For Rongcheng’s glory he’ll compete
A fiery temper’s a double-edged blade red cards left regrets a bitter shade
Chengdu’s hot pot warms his heart fans’chants melt the icy part
Phoenix Mountain’s fire burns high lighting every fightful try
For Chengdu Rongcheng’s shining name he’ll spill his blood on the green all the same
A steel wall he stands unshaken still Timo’s name on Jinjiang’s banks does thrill
Golden-maned lion bolder than legends told brave as Zhang Fei yet calm and cold
When the final whistle blows he kisses the badge a love that never fades
In Chengdu Rongcheng a legend’s born—he writes his own tale a fresh new song
He’s no shadow of Van Dijk no—
He’ll write his own story let it show
Sassuolo’s moonlight shines so bright
Hamburg’s cold frost can’t dim his might
Korea’s rains may never cease
Now in Chengdu he builds a iron peace
With passion burning he won’t retreat
For Rongcheng’s glory he’ll compete
He’s no shadow of Van Dijk no—
He’ll write his own story let it show
Sassuolo’s moonlight shines so bright
Hamburg’s cold frost can’t dim his might
Korea’s rains may never cease
Now in Chengdu he builds a iron peace
With passion burning he won’t retreat
For Rongcheng’s glory he’ll compete
