Uruguay - Celeste, la primera

[Intro] [instrumental] [clean electric guitar with delay] [slow build] [subtle candombe groove] [Verse 1] We grew up with the ball on the street No flags, no fireworks, no need Radio low, coffee cold Same old stories, always told No heroes knocking on the door No new names to adore Just the shirt, just the game Still playing, still the same [Instrumental Break 1] [guitars repeat main motif] [bass steady] [candombe groove settles] [Pre-Chorus] They ask us where the glory went We never knew what that meant [Chorus] We were there antes de todo el ruido We were there cuando empezó el juego From Montevideo hasta el Maracanazo No lo gritamos but everybody knows [Instrumental Break 2] [short melodic break] [guitar lead minimal] [drums slightly open] [Verse 2] Time goes slow in this place Coaches stay, faces age Years go by, same ideas No rush, no fear Titles sleep in old drawers Last one came in twenty eleven No one crying, no demand Just the pleasure to watch them stand [Spanish Lines] No gritamos No pedimos Esto no es promesa Es destino Jugamos así Porque siempre fue así [Instrumental Break 3] [candombe rhythm more present] [guitars muted] [percussion leads] [Chorus – Inverted] Estuvimos ahí before all the noise Estuvimos ahí when the game began Desde Montevideo to the Maracanazo We don’t shout it pero todos lo saben [Bridge] [instrumental] [longer break] [dialogue between drums and bass] [guitars sparse, atmospheric] No pressure No crown Just the shirt Coming down We don’t need tomorrow To justify yesterday [Spanish Spoken] Esto no se explica Se hereda No se celebra Se cuida [Instrumental Break 4] [build slowly] [guitars reintroduce main motif] [drums tighten] [Final Chorus] We were there antes de todo el ruido Estuvimos ahí when the game began Montevideo Maracanazo No lo gritamos everybody knows [Outro] [instrumental] [steady groove] [candombe fades last] [no dramatic ending]
