Born in Santos, 1920 Boy with gust and guts aplenty Stole some rope and leapt from tall trees Taught himself the high wire trapeze
Under the big top over that crowd He always looked up he never looked down He was as Light as a sparrow Fast as an arrow Bright as a star “Jose Fernandez!” If you could have seen him You would have been him You would have loved “Jose Fernandez!” Light as a sparrow Fast as an arrow Bright as a star “Jose Fernandez!” The greatest, the greatest, The greatest, the greatest
How so daring, how so dashing? What of terra firma crashing? ‘Tish and Pish, and what about it … Never even thought to doubt it
Nightly he dreamt and daily as well Flimsy his grip ‘til one day he fell No longer Light as a sparrow Fast as an arrow Bright as a star “Jose Fernandez!” If you could have seen him You would have been him You would have loved “Jose Fernandez!” Light as a sparrow Fast as an arrow Bright as a star “Jose Fernandez!” The greatest, the greatest, The greatest, the greatest
