Rough translation:
<blockquote>
Listen up, spread the news
They're in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doha">Doha</a> but without a single penny
How cute it is, they are going to run
To come back, they're going to sneak on a train
They all came by hitchhiking
Ask for money to eat
Drink water from the fountains
But they have 'Lionel'
</blockquote>

This song was highly controversial, and media from all over the world covered it:

The history behind _Escuchen, corran la bola_ is documented here:

The apparent context is that FC U Craviova 1948 (that has a lion as a mascot) was about to lose their presence in the top-flight, but they didn't. To celebrate, fans of the club brought this lion cub to the stadium.
