Este Es El Año Academia

The song 'Este Es El Año Academia' by La Guardia Imperial is a fervent anthem that captures the spirit and expectations of the fans of Racing Club, a popular Argentine football team also known as 'La Academia.' The lyrics serve as a rallying cry, expressing the unwavering support of the fans and their high hopes for the team's success in the upcoming season.

The phrase 'Este es el año Academia' translates to 'This is the year, Academia,' signifying the belief that this will be the year when Racing Club triumphs. The fans, referred to as 'tu gente' (your people), are acknowledged for their constant support, always cheering and being present for the team. This line emphasizes the deep connection between the team and its supporters, highlighting the communal aspect of sports where the team's identity is intertwined with its fan base.

The latter part of the song mentions 'la vuelta vamos a dar,' which means 'we're going to make the round,' a phrase often used in the context of winning a championship and taking a victory lap. The lyrics also include a competitive edge, calling for the team to give their all ('dejar la vida') to ensure that their rivals—referred to as 'los rojos' (Independiente), 'los bosteros' (Boca Juniors), and 'las gallinas' (River Plate)—are left in dismay. This not only showcases the intense rivalry in Argentine football but also the high stakes and emotional investment of the fans in their team's performance.
