The Greatest
Little boy, in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and bat.
Says, "I am the greatest player of them all" puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball.
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down swings his bat all the way around
The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.
Now the little boy doesn't say a word, picks up his ball, he is undeterred.
Says, "I am the greatest there has ever been" and he grits his teeth and he tries it again.
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down swings his bat all the way around
The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.
He makes no excuses, he shows no fear, he just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers.
Little boy, he adjusts his hat, picks up his ball, stares at his bat
Says,"I am the greatest, the game is on the line" and he gives his all one last time.
And the ball goes up and the moon so bright, swings his bat with all his might
The world's as still, as still can be, the baseball falls and that's strike three.
Now it's suppertime and his momma calls, little boy starts home with his bat and ball.
Says, "I am the greatest, that is a fact, but even I didn't know I could pitch like that!"
Says, "I am the greatest,that is understood, but even I didn't know I could pitch that good!"
El más grande
Niño pequeño, con una gorra de béisbol, está parado en el campo con su pelota y su bate.
Dice: 'Soy el mejor jugador de todos' pone su bate en su hombro y lanza su pelota al aire.
Y la pelota sube y la pelota baja, balancea su bate alrededor
El mundo tan quieto que puedes escuchar el sonido, la pelota cae al suelo.
Ahora el niño no dice una palabra, recoge su pelota, no se desanima.
Dice: 'Soy el mejor que ha existido' y aprieta los dientes y lo intenta de nuevo.
Y la pelota sube y la pelota baja, balancea su bate alrededor
El mundo tan quieto que puedes escuchar el sonido, la pelota cae al suelo.
No busca excusas, no muestra miedo, solo cierra los ojos y escucha los aplausos.
El niño ajusta su gorra, recoge su pelota, mira su bate
Dice: 'Soy el mejor, el juego está en juego' y da todo una última vez.
Y la pelota sube y la luna tan brillante, balancea su bate con toda su fuerza
El mundo está tan quieto, tan quieto como puede ser, la pelota cae y eso es strike tres.
Ahora es la hora de la cena y su mamá llama, el niño comienza a ir a casa con su bate y su pelota.
Dice: 'Soy el mejor, eso es un hecho, ¡pero ni siquiera sabía que podía lanzar así!'
Dice: 'Soy el mejor, eso está entendido, ¡pero ni siquiera sabía que podía lanzar tan bien!'
