Bruno Guimaraes may no longer be a Newcastle United player having joined Arsenal in the summer of 2026, but he will forever be remembered as a legend at St James' Park for his immense contributions.
The Brazilian joined the Toon in the winter window of 2022, and he reportedly turned down interest from the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and even Real Madrid, so it was understandable that he became an instant fan-favourite.
His quality was obvious to all who observed the midfielder, who was able to contribute at both ends of the pitch thanks to his defensive nous, ability on the ball and willingness to run.
Guimaraes was part of the Newcastle team that won the EFL Cup in 2025 against Liverpool, earning the club their first trophy since 1969.
Fans at St James' Park were incredibly fond of the midfielder, and supporters developed a chant to showcase their affection towards him.
Unfortunately, now that Guimaraes plays for Arsenal, this chant eventually came back to bite Magpies supporters.
As a result of his switch, the chant will no longer be heard around St James' Park, while Arsenal fans may look to switch the chant in their favour after signing the midfielder.
Bruno Guimaraes chant lyrics and tune
The ‘Magic Hat' may not be the oldest of the Guimaraes chants, but it was the most popular rendition at St James' Park. It was a playful and cheeky, pointing out that the player initially resisted interest from bigger clubs.
Below are the Magic Hat chant lyrics for the Newcastle midfielder:
Oh, Bruno's f***ng magic,
He wears a magic hat
He could've signed for Arsenal,
But he said ‘No f**k that',
He wants to play for Eddie,
In the famous black and white,
And when we win the Premier League
We'll sing this song all night
Alternative Bruno Guimaraes chant
While the ‘Magic Hat' chant was the most preferred Guimaraes song at St James' Park, it was more of a recent offshoot.
As soon as the player settled at Newcastle, and following a series of convincing performances in 2022, fans began singing the ‘We've got Bruno in the middle' chant.

FGG says: Guimaraes chant is deserved
In the landscape of modern football, where football chants can sometimes sound generic or even recycled, Newcastle fans' song for Guimaraes stood out as an earned accolade. It fused admiration for his talent with his commitment, not just to performance, but to identity.
Every time the stands broke into ‘Oh Bruno's f***ng magic' or ‘We've got Guimaraes in the middle', they did not just praise a player; it was an affirmation of a bond between player, club and fans, and between community and ambition.
Unfortunately for Newcastle fans, singing about the midfielder rejecting Arsenal proved to be a curse, with Guimaraes eventually joining the Gunners in the summer of 2026.
