Lloran Los Putos Del Manya

“Lloran Los Putos Del Manya” by La Banda Del Parque is a fervent and spirited song that delves into the intense rivalry between two Uruguayan football clubs: Nacional (often referred to as 'Bolso') and Peñarol (referred to as 'Manya'). The song is a vivid recount of a specific event where the fans of Nacional recall a moment of confrontation with Peñarol supporters, highlighting their perceived cowardice and abandonment. The lyrics are filled with pride and loyalty towards Nacional, emphasizing the unwavering support of its fans.

The song opens with a memory of an encounter in 'jardines' (gardens), where the Peñarol fans fled in a truck, painting them as cowards. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is a mix of taunting and prideful declarations. The term 'gallina' (chicken) is used derogatorily to describe Peñarol fans, suggesting they are cowardly. The lyrics also mention a specific incident where shots were fired, further intensifying the animosity and painting the Peñarol fans in a negative light.

The chorus is a rallying cry for Nacional supporters, expressing their undying loyalty and passion. The mention of 'tomando vino con la banda' (drinking wine with the group) and 'alentando siempre al campeón' (always cheering for the champion) showcases the camaraderie and dedication of the fans. The song ends with a challenge to Peñarol, urging them to face Nacional again and emphasizing the importance of winning and putting in more effort ('pongamos mas huevo'). This song is a powerful expression of football culture in Uruguay, where club loyalty and rivalry are deeply ingrained in the fans' identities.
