Como Guerreros

Iván Sadovsky's song "Como Guerreros" is a passionate tribute to the fans and the spirit of the Estudiantes de La Plata football club. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the unwavering loyalty and fierce pride that define the club's supporters, often referred to as 'la hinchada del león' (the lion's supporters). The song celebrates the unique culture and traditions of the club, from their aggressive playing style to their memorable victories and defeats. The repeated refrain, "Esto es amor de verdad" (This is true love), underscores the deep emotional connection between the fans and their team.

The song is rich with cultural references and metaphors that highlight the resilience and determination of the Estudiantes fans. Phrases like "alfileres en el alma" (pins in the soul) and "ir blandiendo las espadas" (wielding swords) evoke a sense of battle and struggle, reflecting the fans' readiness to support their team through thick and thin. The mention of historical moments, such as the 7-0 victory and the journey from relegation to triumph, serves to remind listeners of the club's storied past and the collective memory that binds the community together.

Sadovsky also addresses the criticisms often leveled at Estudiantes, embracing the label of 'anti-fútbol' and turning it into a badge of honor. The defiant tone in lines like "Que digan todos que somos el anti fútbol" (Let everyone say we are anti-football) and "Estudiantes no se explica, es una forma de ser" (Estudiantes cannot be explained, it is a way of being) speaks to the fans' pride in their identity and their refusal to conform to conventional expectations. The song ultimately portrays the Estudiantes supporters as warriors, united by their love for the team and their shared experiences, ready to face any challenge with courage and heart.
