Como Alí

The song 'Como Alí' by Club Atlético Colón Santa Fe is a fervent anthem that captures the intense passion and unwavering loyalty of the fans, known as 'sabalero,' towards their football club. The lyrics are a raw and unfiltered expression of the fans' dedication, often involving elements of chaos and euphoria. The repeated chants of 'Vamos vamos sabale' and 'Vamos vamos a ganar' reflect the collective desire for victory and celebration, emphasizing the communal spirit that binds the supporters together.

The song delves into the darker aspects of fandom, mentioning the use of drugs and alcohol as part of the experience. Lines like 'Con la droga y el alcohol siempre haciendo descontrol' and 'Drogada voooooyy, borracha soooy' highlight a culture of excess and abandon, where the highs and lows of supporting the team are often accompanied by substance use. This portrayal, while controversial, underscores the all-consuming nature of their devotion, where the boundaries between personal well-being and team loyalty blur.

At its core, 'Como Alí' is a testament to the 'enfermedad' or 'sickness' of being a sabalero fan—a condition marked by an unmatchable 'locura' or 'madness' and 'sentimiento' or 'feeling' that cannot be compared to anything else. The song's raw energy and repetitive chants serve to rally the fans, urging them to give their all ('ponga huevo') in support of their beloved team. This anthem encapsulates the essence of what it means to be a sabalero, celebrating both the highs and the lows of this intense, almost tribal, form of fandom.
