Hoy Ganamos

Ignacio Copani's song "Hoy Ganamos" is a vibrant celebration of the Argentine football club River Plate, affectionately known as "Los Millo." The lyrics are a jubilant anthem that captures the euphoria and pride of the fans whenever their team wins. The song opens with the declaration of victory, emphasizing the joy that rises from the fans' feet to the clouds, symbolizing an overwhelming sense of happiness and triumph. This joy is contrasted with the bitterness left in the mouths of their rivals, highlighting the competitive nature of football in Argentina.

The song repeatedly mentions the routine of River Plate being champions, a nod to the club's historical success and dominance in Argentine football. The phrase "Vamos los Millo" is a rallying cry for the fans, encouraging them to continue supporting their team with unwavering passion. Copani acknowledges the hardships of life but suggests that River Plate's victories provide a much-needed source of joy and relief for its supporters. This sentiment is particularly poignant in a country where football is more than just a sport; it's a significant part of the cultural and social fabric.

The lyrics also touch on the global reach of River Plate's success, mentioning that not even tanks could stop the team from reaching Japan, a reference to international competitions like the FIFA Club World Cup. The imagery of red and white flags waving in the streets and the fans' hearts being stirred by the team's victories paints a vivid picture of communal celebration. The song concludes with a call for the team to keep fighting, as the fans are "mal acostumbrada" (spoiled) by their continuous success, always ready to sing "Dale Campeón" (Go Champion). This anthem encapsulates the undying spirit and loyalty of River Plate's supporters, making it a powerful tribute to the club's legacy.
