Si Sos Del Rojo II

La Guardia Imperial's song "Si Sos Del Rojo II" is a fervent anthem dedicated to the fans of Club Atlético Independiente, one of Argentina's most storied football clubs. The lyrics are a direct address to the supporters of their rival team, San Lorenzo, often referred to as "los cuervos" (the crows). The song opens with a taunt, suggesting that if you are a true fan of Independiente and attended a match at San Lorenzo's stadium, you would have experienced disappointment and bitterness, as the rival fans failed to fill their half of the stadium.

The song continues to mock the expectations of San Lorenzo's fans, who thought that Independiente's stadium, known as "La Doble Visera," would be packed with their supporters. The lyrics express pity for these fans, emphasizing the pride and passion of Independiente's supporters. The chorus celebrates the moments of triumph when Independiente won championships, filling not just their stadium but also the iconic Obelisco in Buenos Aires with joyous fans.

The final lines of the song pose a rhetorical question to Independiente's fans, asking if they know where they are, implying that their presence and celebrations are so significant that they cannot be missed. The reference to the 9 de Julio Avenue, one of the main thoroughfares in Buenos Aires, underscores the magnitude of their celebrations, contrasting it with the absence of San Lorenzo's fans in such grand displays. This song encapsulates the intense rivalry and deep-seated pride that characterizes Argentine football culture, particularly among the fans of Independiente.
