No Somos Como El Tatengue, Que Es Amargo Y de La B
Club Atlético Colón Santa Fe
The Passionate Anthem of Club Atlético Colón Santa Fe
The song "No Somos Como El Tatengue, Que Es Amargo Y de La B" by Club Atlético Colón Santa Fe is a fervent anthem that encapsulates the undying loyalty and passion of the club's supporters. The lyrics are a declaration of pride and identity, with the term "sabalero" referring to the fans of Colón, who are known for their intense devotion. The phrase "el negro es una enfermedad" metaphorically suggests that the love for the team is all-consuming and inescapable, much like an illness that one cannot shake off.
The song also serves as a direct contrast to their local rivals, Unión de Santa Fe, often referred to as "tatengue." By calling them "amargo" (bitter) and referencing their lower division status ("de la b"), the lyrics emphasize the superiority and resilience of Colón's supporters. This rivalry is a significant aspect of the cultural and social fabric of Santa Fe, and the song captures the competitive spirit and camaraderie among Colón fans.
The chorus, with its repetitive chants of "dale dale dale ne" and calls for the team to give their all ("ponga huevo y vaya al frente"), is a rallying cry that unites the fans in their collective dream of seeing their team crowned as champions. The song's energetic and spirited tone reflects the vibrant and passionate nature of football culture in Argentina, where supporting a team is not just a pastime but a way of life.
