Love, in all its forms, is central to "Three Lions." The love of the game, the love for oneโs country, and the love shared among friends and family are all interwoven into the fabric of the song. The line "Thirty years of hurt never stopped me dreaming" speaks to a resilient, enduring love that persists despite setbacks and disappointments. This kind of love is not just about romantic relationships; it's about passion and dedication to something bigger than oneself.
