As Wales get ready to face Portugal – each with their own talisman player Bales has something Ronaldo hasn’t got.
A song dedicated to him by a group of musicians in Madrid
So Wales fans have one more song to belt out as they dream the impossible dream.

Young boy in Cardiff, working hard on a dream
He’s dedicated, got what it takes to succeed
Time has come to rise to the challenge with power, with strength and pride
From the valleys, unleash the dragon, let out the fire inside
Gareth, Gareth
The canon fires, rips the world apart
Gareth, Gareth
Ev’ry shot straight from the heart

For “El Galés”, un “galáctico”, a dream come true
Yet he stays focused, his mind is clear, he’ll see it through
Time has come to rise to the challenge with power, with strength and pride
From the valleys, unleash the dragon, let out the fire inside
Gareth, Gareth
The canon fires, rips the world apart
Gareth, Gareth
Ev’ry shot straight from the heart
