Si yo fuera Maradona viviría como él
Si yo fuera Maradona frente a cualquier portería
Si yo fuera Maradona nunca m'equivocaría
Si yo fuera Maradona perdido en cualquier lugar
La vida es una tómbola... de noche y de día...
La vida es una tómbola y arriba y arriba...
Si yo fuera Maradona viviría con él...
Mil cohetes... mil amigos
Y lo que venga a mil por cien...
Si yo fuera Maradona
Si yo fuera Maradona saldría en mondovision
Para gritarle a la FIFA
¡Que ellos son el gran ladrón!
La vida es una tómbola... de noche y de día...
La vida es una tómbola y arriba y arriba...
Si yo fuera Maradona viviría como él
Porque el mundo es una bola
Que se vive a flor de piel
Si yo fuera Maradona frente a cualquier porquería
Nunca (¿siempre?) me equivocaría...
Si yo fuera Maradona y un partido que ganar
Si yo fuera Maradona perdido en cualquier lugar...
La vida es una tómbola de noche y de día...

| pophop (Upper Arlington, OH) | Posted: Jul 17, 2009 - 17:34 perfect for what I needed at that very moment - thanks. |
| bkrontz (Brooklyn, NY) | Posted: Apr 13, 2009 - 13:16 I don't know if this artist is Spain-ish... but in Spain, someone who is WASTED all of the time can be called a "Golfo"... in case anyone was wondering about the shirt he's wearing... that's my guess. |
| Stefen (West Hollywood, CA) | Posted: Jan 06, 2009 - 00:31 The music versus the jacket photo is chuckle-quality. |

| acampos (Paris, France) | Posted: Dec 08, 2008 - 06:09 This guy is a great musician, however, he had better times with Mano Negra and he has other solo albums (Desaparecido could be one) that are much better that this one. Lately his songs sound exactly the same and his running out of ideas, taking phrases from old popular songs in spanis in all songs. I also have completely different political views. But again, he is a great musician. |

| cirruss (Curacao, Netherlands Antilles) | Posted: Nov 29, 2008 - 18:46 Every single song of his is a rip off of an earlier song of his. This man lacks originality big-time. Boring... leave this to corporate radio please!!! |
| calypsus_1 | Posted: Nov 08, 2008 - 21:38 If I were Maradona live like him if I was Maradona against any goal if I was Maradona never m'wrong if I was Maradona lost anywhere. Life is a tombola* ... night and day ... Life is a tombola* and up and up .... If I were Maradona live with it ... thousand rockets ... thousand friends and whatever comes to a thousand percent ... if I was Maradona would in mondovision to shout to FIFA That they are the big thief! Life is a tombola ... night and day ... Life is a tombola and up and up .... If I were Maradona live like him because the world is a ball we live to bloom skin If I were Maradona against any crap I was never wrong ... If I were Maradona and a party that won if I was Maradona lost anywhere ... Life is a tombola night and day ... Life is a tombola and up and up ... * wheel of the luck in album "La Radiolina" (2007) ** 7 / 8 ** |

| Limpopoking (Limpopo) | Posted: Oct 20, 2008 - 04:37 I'm not sure what there is to NOT like. But a previous comment was quite correct... this is not his best album. |
| Kittee (NC- Dreaming of the Mountains) | Posted: Oct 14, 2008 - 07:18 I love Manu Chao. I'm getting the impression though that either you like him or you don't.  |
| aed001 (Fayettenam, AR) | Posted: Oct 08, 2008 - 07:08 Granted — not even CLOSE to the likes of Buena Vista Social Club, but I like this style of culture. surprised it's only 5.8.... |
| Chi_Guy (Chicago) | Posted: Oct 08, 2008 - 07:06  Esta cancion cansa... |
| Kittee (NC- Dreaming of the Mountains) | Posted: Oct 03, 2008 - 07:36 This is not his best work. He does really good inspirational catchy tunes too. I recommend Desaparecido. |
| Bat (Austin) | Posted: Sep 27, 2008 - 13:46 He was one of the headliners at the first night of the Austin City Limits festival last night. After hearing him here I went to check him out. I generally don't give low ranks to songs because it seems kind of petty, but I had to rank this a 3. The description of a 3 is "Ho Hum" and that about sums it up. The performance didn't offend me, but after about 30 minutes I grew very tired and bored. |
| superfido (Sweden) | Posted: Sep 27, 2008 - 13:40 So he always sounds kind of the same, but still a good listen. |

We as listeners and comment posters only know what we see in your little description of yourself. What Sol planet 3 means is obvious, where the hell it is on this planet of ours is pretty vague. So if you are going to take offense of every little thing some one says of your posts do the following. Be more specific about who you are so we have better ammunition to flame you. My user name is horstman. So that means that I'm a man, my name is Horst and I live in Syracuse NY. Shit, you could probably find me in the phone book and toilet paper my house if you desired or if I offended you too much. Are we clear on this? |

| lathyris (Houston, TX) | Posted: May 15, 2008 - 08:54 I like Manu Chao a lot. . .but I wish his songs were more varied. This sounds a heck of a lot like Desaparecido, which sounds a heck of a lot like Me Llaman Calle. All good songs, yeah, but all so so similar. |

Which "aweful" country are you talking about anyway? Spain? France? Argentine (since the song is about Maradona)? Or just generally all Spanish speaking countries? I sure hope you don't win that trip to Costa Rica... guess you wouldn't like that "garbage country" either. kalkin84 wrote: I'd venture that i've seen more of this world and lived (ie for longer than 6 months) in more varied locales than 90% of RP's listeners, but that is a guess :p.

Garbage music from a garbage country. 1 What country do you suppose? Manu Chao is from France, Spain, Latin America... So I think that any of these are garbage. If you don't like the music doesn't mean anything about the country. |
