The Roar of the Tricolor: A Celebration of Fortaleza Esporte Clube
Leões da TUF's song "Tricolor É Nós" is a vibrant anthem dedicated to the Fortaleza Esporte Clube, a Brazilian football team. The repetitive chant of "Tricolor ôô é nós" serves as a rallying cry for the fans, uniting them in their shared passion and loyalty to the team. The term "Tricolor" refers to the team's colors, which are red, white, and blue, symbolizing the unity and pride of the supporters.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a match day, filled with excitement and anticipation. The mention of bringing fireworks, rockets, and a large flag to the stadium (referred to as PV, or Estádio Presidente Vargas) highlights the festive and celebratory atmosphere that surrounds the game. The fans, or "galera," are described as energetic and enthusiastic, creating a lively and supportive environment for the team. This sense of community and collective spirit is a central theme in the song, emphasizing the strong bond between the fans and the club.
The song also includes a shout-out to the "Leões da TUF," a well-known supporters' group of Fortaleza Esporte Clube. The lyrics express pride in being part of this group and in supporting the team, referring to themselves as "tricolor de aço" (tricolor of steel), which signifies their unwavering strength and resilience. The mention of "Urubu já era" is a playful jab at their rivals, indicating that they have already been defeated. The song concludes with an invitation for others to join in and support the team, reinforcing the idea that the fans are an integral part of the club's identity and success.
