Maracana, that abode of golden sand,
a source of greatness radiating out like a sun
you have reproduce great men who has never forgotten you
the grand mum facilitating intensive training for her kids
You have injured so many Lions only for them to become stronger
every Saturday, you accommodate us as we send the ball into air
Some lions get wounded and are quickly attended to
Others visit the Opobo kingdom( Jaja clinic)
You have been a great mum lasting for years
I’m pleased to inform you about a son of yours
Mutiu Adepoju is now 50 years, hale and healthy
Our love for you is forever
Maracana, that angular spot where we improve our skills
most halls wish they could have you mother but God has
already given you to the Baluba Kingdom.
We cherish you and will forever be grateful.
O hail Maracana, a beauty of Zikism
the radiation of Zikism is unpolarized in it,
the beauty of beauties, the king of excellence
We thank God you allowed us in you
as we lift the cup once again,
the cavity of greatness that must never be
be underestimated.
Maracana, the real abode of every zikite,
you taught us oneness, togetherness and brotherhood
and our unity will never be disunited.
To all Zikites, never forget Maracana,
never forget grand mother, don’t forget to come back
and honour her the moment life is favourable.
Thanks.
