Soy de Arellano

The song "Soy de Arellano" is an anthem of devotion and unwavering support for the Chilean football club Colo-Colo, performed by its fans. The lyrics express the deep connection between the supporters and their team, highlighting the cultural and emotional ties that bind them. The reference to 'Arellano' in the song title is a nod to David Arellano, the founder of the club, and signifies the fans' identification with the club's origins and legacy.

The song speaks to the sense of community and belonging that comes with being part of a 'barrio' or neighborhood that is 'muy descontrolado,' which can be interpreted as wildly passionate or unruly in its support for the team. The fans pledge to support Colo-Colo wherever they play, emphasizing their loyalty even during tough times, such as financial struggles ('la quiebra'). The phrase 'El sentimiento nunca cambia por el popular' reinforces the idea that their love for the team is constant and not influenced by the team's performance or status.

The chorus, 'Vamos cacique, hoy no podemos perder,' is a rallying cry for victory, with 'cacique' being a nickname for Colo-Colo, which refers to the Mapuche tribal chiefs. The song concludes with a mention of 'La garra blanca,' which is the name of Colo-Colo's ultras group, known for their passionate and continuous support. This song encapsulates the essence of being a fan – it's about more than just the game; it's about identity, community, and an unwavering commitment to the team.
