Emil Sala's Magic

Emil Sala's Magic
He wore a magic hat
And when he signed for Cardiff
He said I fancy that
He didn't sign for Paris
Or Beijing
Cause they're Shite
He Signed for Cardiff City
Cos we're f**king dynamite.

Emi instead of Emil. As he is referred to by his friends/family
I'd also stick with present tense. Seems more appropriate

[gabbsthenewt]

agreed

I like this one, it isn't too much and we all basically know it already

Yes but very importantly as mentioned I do have to correct it

Emil Sala's Magic
He WEARS a magic hat
And when he signed for Cardiff
He said I fancy that
He didn't sign for Paris
Or Beijing
Cause they're Shite
He Signed for Cardiff City
Cos we're f**king dynamite.

I like it because he is magic and he's forever alive for so many no matter what.

Call me old fashioned but I don't think any song meant as a tribute to Emiliano should contain swearing.

I'm not averse to swearing myself but rarely do in mixed company and never in front of kids. My son and I were discussing a song for Sala while stood bored to tears at St James park last week. We came up with a resurrection of the Kev McNaughton song but were undecided as to what to replace "I want silver hair too" with. Seems so long ago now and such a bloody shame we'll never get to see him play because after the shambles of the last 2 performances we really needed a boost up front. (I'm not proposing to adopt the Kev song now btw)

Not a fan of the magic hat song for Sala but if people want to sing it can’t they just change the Emil Sala’s magic to Emiliano’s magic?

I'm glad you mentioned this, I was thinking the same. It just doesn't sit right to include swearing.

Agree as well

[superflyblues]

I don't like this at all. Not appropriate.

[insider]

We love Sala
Emi Sala
Just don't think you understand
That we love Sala Emi Sala
We love Emi Sala.
Repeat

[Barti Ddu]

I think we should keep it simple and not overcomplicate things with a clever chant. We should just use Nantes' Emiliano Sala chant: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8razMAhOz/

[Pearcey3]

You need to bear in mind the close family. So any chant should not include swearing or that he chose Cardiff over other clubs. Just keep it simple showing support and love for the player.

This.

[bluebirdsoverCanada]

The simple we love you song: Sala, Sala, Sala, Emiliano Sala, Sala, Sala, Emiliano Sala, Sala, Sala

Agree with this

[Divine Wright]

“Can’t take my eyes off you” would be nice.

“We love you Emi and if it’s quite alright”

[Divine Wright]

“Can’t take my eyes off you” would be nice.

“We love you Emi and if it’s quite alright”

Full version (can’t take my eyes off you)

(Instead of “duh-duh, duh-duh etc)

Sala, sala, sala, sala, sala,
Sa-Sala, sala, sala, sala, sala,
Sa-Sala, sala, sala, sala, sala,
Sa-Sala, sala-laaaaaaah

We love you Emi and if its quite alright,
We need you Emi,and for our boys you’ll fight,
We love you Emi, trust in us when we say,

You’re City’s Emi, you’ll keep us up, we pray
Oh, City’s Emi, now that weve found you, stay
And let us love you, Emi, let us love you

[Divine Wright]

Full version (can’t take my eyes off you)

(Instead of “duh-duh, duh-duh etc)

Sala, sala, sala, sala, sala,
Sa-Sala, sala, sala, sala, sala,
Sa-Sala, sala, sala, sala, sala,
Sa-Sala, sala-laaaaaaah

We love you Emi and if its quite alright,
We need you Emi,and for our boys you’ll fight,
We love you Emi, trust in us when we say,

You’re City’s Emi, you’ll keep us up, we pray
Oh, City’s Emi, now that weve found you, stay
And let us love you, Emi, let us love you

First verse too, before “Sala, sala...” kicks in.


Your just too good to be true,
Can’t take my eyes offuv you,
Controlling the ball with your touch,
Beating the goalie so much,
At long last Emi’s arrived,
And for the blues he will strive,
Your just to good to be true,
Can’t take my eyes off you,



I reckon this would be lovely and epic and celebrating his life and career.

Get a ****ing grip

[Divine Wright]

Get a ****ing grip

Alright darling, don't get too worked up about it. S'only a song.

Fair point

[TeesBlue]

You’re City’s Emi, you’ll keep us up, we pray
Oh, City’s Emi, now that weve found you, stay
And let us love you, Emi, let us love you

Just how much more insenstitive could you be?

[KD50]

This is just unbelievable!
