Rivalry and Pride: The Anthem of Inter's Fans

The song 'Poltrona 36' by Guarda Popular is a passionate and provocative anthem that encapsulates the fierce rivalry between two of Brazil's most prominent football clubs: Internacional (Inter) and Grêmio. The lyrics are a direct taunt aimed at Grêmio fans, highlighting their team's historical struggles and perceived inferiority to Inter. The opening line, 'Eterno filho Colorado!' (Eternal son of Colorado!), establishes a tone of dominance, suggesting that Grêmio is perpetually in the shadow of Inter, whose fans are known as 'Colorados.'

The song references specific incidents and figures in Grêmio's history, such as 'Três vezes rebaixado' (Three times relegated), pointing out the times Grêmio has been demoted to a lower division. The mention of 'Poltrona 36' is a nod to a notorious incident involving a Grêmio fan who was caught on camera sitting in seat 36 during a match, which has since become a symbol of embarrassment among Inter supporters. The lyrics also mention 'O Capone e o Bilica,' likely referring to infamous players or figures associated with Grêmio, further mocking their legacy.

The chorus, 'E os putos do grêmio jamais vão esquecer / A banda que manda é a banda do Inter!' (And the Grêmio kids will never forget / The band that rules is the Inter band!), reinforces the idea of Inter's superiority and the enduring nature of this rivalry. The song concludes with a defiant declaration that no matter what Grêmio does, they will always be relegated to the second division, cementing the theme of dominance and pride that runs throughout the lyrics. This song is a vivid example of how football culture in Brazil is deeply intertwined with local identity and pride, often expressed through music and chants.
