Y Otro Bostero Puto Se Va a Morir
La Guardia Imperial
The Fierce Rivalry in Argentine Football Anthems
The song 'Y Otro Bostero Puto Se Va a Morir' by La Guardia Imperial is a chant that reflects the intense rivalry between Argentine football clubs, specifically Racing Club and Boca Juniors. The lyrics are provocative and aggressive, typical of football chants aimed at rival teams. The term 'bostero' is a derogatory nickname for Boca Juniors fans, and the song expresses a desire for violence against them, which is unfortunately a part of the darker side of football fandom. The chant also expresses a wish to see Boca Juniors relegated to a lower division, which is a common insult in sports rivalries, wishing poor performance upon the opposing team.
The second part of the chant shows pride in Racing Club's fan group, known as 'La Guardia Imperial,' and their unwavering support for their team. It highlights the loyalty of Racing's fans, who follow their team everywhere and support them regardless of their performance ('Aunque ganes, aunque pierdas, cada vez te quiero más' translates to 'Whether you win, whether you lose, I love you more and more'). This part of the song serves to contrast the perceived loyalty and passion of Racing's fans with those of Boca Juniors.
It's important to note that while the song captures the passion and dedication of football fans, it also perpetuates a culture of violence and hostility that can overshadow the sport. The aggressive language used in the chant is not an endorsement of actual violence but rather a hyperbolic way to express rivalry and team pride within the context of Argentine football culture.
