Quiero Quemar El Gallinero

The song "Quiero Quemar El Gallinero" by Boca Juniors is not just a song, but an anthem that encapsulates the fervent passion and loyalty of the Boca Juniors football club fans. The lyrics express the deep emotional connection the fans have with their team, Boca Juniors, which is one of the most popular and successful football clubs in Argentina. The phrase 'Por eso, yo te quiero dar / Boca, mi corazón' translates to 'That's why I want to give you / Boca, my heart,' illustrating the fans' dedication and love for their club.

The song also reflects the intense rivalry between Boca Juniors and other teams, particularly River Plate, which is referred to as 'Riber' in a derogatory manner. The term 'cagón' is a strong insult implying cowardice. The desire to 'burn the henhouse' is a metaphor for wanting to defeat and dominate their rivals, showcasing the competitive spirit of the sport. The mention of 'los cuervos' and 'la guardia imperial' refers to other rival teams, San Lorenzo and Racing Club, respectively. The lyrics call for the defeat of these adversaries, emphasizing the tribal nature of football fandom.

The song's chorus, 'Vamo', xeneizes / Con huevo, vaya al frente / Te lo pide la gente / No paran de alentar,' encourages the team to play with courage and determination ('con huevo'), as the fans ('la gente') continuously support them ('no paran de alentar'). The term 'xeneizes' is a nickname for Boca Juniors fans, derived from the Genoese immigrants who founded the club. The song concludes with a nod to the enduring presence of the fans, known as 'La 12,' who remain steadfast in their support regardless of the passage of time or changes in the team's lineup.
