Correram Da Geral No Beira-Rio

The song "Correram Da Geral No Beira-Rio" by Geral do Grêmio is a passionate and provocative anthem that encapsulates the intense rivalry between two of Brazil's most famous football clubs: Grêmio and Internacional. The lyrics are filled with pride and a sense of superiority, as Grêmio fans taunt their rivals, Internacional, often referred to derogatorily as "Macaco". This term, while offensive, is used here to emphasize the deep-seated animosity between the two fan bases.

The song's chorus, "Correram da Geral no Beira-Rio," translates to "They ran from the Geral at Beira-Rio," referring to a supposed victory or dominance of Grêmio fans over Internacional fans at Internacional's home stadium, Beira-Rio. This line is a boastful claim of superiority and a reminder of past triumphs. The mention of Grêmio winning the Mundial (World Cup) further cements this sense of pride and historical achievement, as the club has indeed won the Intercontinental Cup, a prestigious international title.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more unifying and rallying tone among Grêmio supporters. The lines "Vamos campeão, vamos a ganhar" (Let's go champion, let's win) and "Onde eu estiver, sempre estará a Banda louca da Geral" (Wherever I am, the crazy band of the Geral will always be) highlight the unwavering support and loyalty of the fans. The reference to burning the "chiqueiro" (pigsty) is a metaphorical expression of their desire to defeat their rivals and assert their dominance. The song, therefore, serves as both a battle cry and a celebration of the Grêmio fan community's unity and fervor.
