Tôi muốn nói nên lời cảm tạ

Sự hiện diện đông đủ của Anh Em ta

Theo dõi tuần tranh đấu vừa qua

Lòng tôi thấy niềm xúc động lạ

Sự quyết tâm Anh Em trên sân cũng như là

Nguồn ý chí nơi công trường vất vả

Để CENTRAL vượt qua mọi gian khó

Và có được thành quả ngày hôm nay…

Con tàu CENTRAL sẽ tiếp tục tung bay

Trên hành trình dựng xây đất nước

Là bệ phóng cho Việt nam tiến bước

Đẩy nghèo nàn lạc hậu lại sau lưng

Tuần thứ 2 giải đấu tôi tin sẽ là một không khí tưng bừng

Cho hội thao mừng CENTRAL 5 tuổi

Anh Em hãy theo đuổi một ý chí quyết tâm

Để giành được vinh quang thắng lợi

Cổ động viên luôn phía sau chờ đợi

Màn trình diễn tuyệt vời của chúng ta

Nhưng phải nhớ chúng ta là một nhà

Dù thắng thua hãy bỏ qua tất cả

Đã là đồng nghiệp – Mãi là Anh Em
