Muchachos Ahora Solo Queda Festejar

Fernando Romero's song, 'Muchachos Ahora Solo Queda Festejar,' is a heartfelt tribute to Argentina's rich football history and its recent triumphs. The lyrics open with a declaration of pride in being born in Argentina, a land renowned for its football legends Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi. The mention of 'los pibes de Malvinas' (the boys of the Falklands) adds a layer of national pride and remembrance, honoring those who fought in the Falklands War, a significant event in Argentine history.

The song then delves into the emotional journey of Argentine football fans, particularly the heartbreak of losing the World Cup final to Germany, which haunted them for eight years. This pain is contrasted with the joy and relief of winning the World Cup in Qatar, defeating France in the final. The phrase 'La volvió a ganar papá' (Dad won it again) conveys a sense of familial pride and continuity, as if the victory is a shared legacy passed down through generations.

The chorus, 'Muchachos, ahora solo queda festejar,' is a call to celebrate, emphasizing that Argentina has won its third World Cup and is once again the world champion. The song also pays homage to Diego Maradona, wishing him eternal peace alongside his parents, Don Diego and La Tota. This tribute underscores Maradona's lasting impact on Argentine football and culture, portraying him as a beloved figure whose legacy will endure forever. The repetition of 'Por toda la eternidad' (For all eternity) reinforces the timeless nature of these achievements and the everlasting pride of the Argentine people.
