From classrooms to stadiums, he mastered his way
Once a teacher, now in football to stay
Louis the strategist, a master of minds,
Crafting his players with patterns refined
With Ajax he rose, from the bench to the throne,
Making stars shine, building teams of his own
From league to Champions League, his vision was clear
Louis the architect, with no trace of fear.
Rise, rise, the Iron Tulip's fire,
Breaking all molds, taking us higher.
The spirit, the strength, in every game,
Louis van Gaal, remember the name.
Barcelona to Bayern, each challenge he faced
Turning doubters to believers with his steady pace
In United's red, his tactics were new
Brought faith to the young, gave the old something true.
Every move calculated, each moment precise,
Every battle crafted at victory's price
For Holland he fought, with courage and pride,
A leader unmatched, never one to hide.
Van meester tot held, een leven vol strijd
Zijn passie blijft branden, jaar na jaar toegewijd
In ons hart gegraveerd, een man van staal,
Hollandse trots, onze Louis van Gaal
Rise, rise, the Iron Tulip's fire,
Breaking all molds, taking us higher.
The spirit, the strength, in every game,
Louis van Gaal, remember the name.
