Aunque Quieran Entenderlo Las Gallinas

La Banda Del Parque's song "Aunque Quieran Entenderlo Las Gallinas" is a fervent anthem dedicated to the Uruguayan football club Nacional. The lyrics are a passionate declaration of loyalty and love for the team, often referred to as 'el bolso' or 'tricolor.' The song's title and lyrics use the metaphor of 'gallinas' (chickens) to refer to rival fans, suggesting that they will never understand the depth of devotion that Nacional's supporters have for their team. This metaphor is a common trope in football culture, where rival teams often use animal names to mock each other.

The song vividly describes the intense emotions and experiences of being a Nacional fan. References to specific events, such as the 'paliza' (beating) in Canelones and setting fire to a rival's bus, highlight the fierce and sometimes violent nature of football rivalries. These anecdotes serve to reinforce the idea that the fans' loyalty is not just about supporting a team but also about participating in a larger, almost tribal, community where shared experiences and memories bind them together.

The chorus of the song captures the essence of this unbreakable bond. The singer expresses an uncontrollable love for Nacional, a love that cannot be matched or understood by outsiders. The act of kissing the team's crest symbolizes a deep, personal connection to the club, one that will endure even when the singer has to 'marchar' (leave). The final lines of the song elevate Nacional to a near-mythical status, describing it as 'glorioso' (glorious) and incomparable. This portrayal underscores the pride and honor that come with being a Nacional supporter, making it clear that for these fans, there is nothing in the world quite like their beloved team.
