Una Gitana Hermosa Tiró Las Cartas

The song 'Una Gitana Hermosa Tiró Las Cartas' by Los Borrachos Del Tablón 14 is steeped in the fervent culture of Argentine football fandom. The lyrics tell a story of a gypsy woman who, with great passion, warns the narrator about the dangers of his lifestyle, particularly his use of marijuana. Despite her warnings, the narrator admits to continuing his indulgence in wine, cigarettes, and 'papel'—which could be interpreted as a reference to rolling papers for smoking or betting slips for gambling.

The song takes a turn from personal admonition to collective celebration when the gypsy woman predicts that 'El Millonario,' a nickname for the famous Argentine football club River Plate, will be champions. This prediction leads to a boastful chant about having already defeated Boca Juniors, River Plate's historic rivals, and anticipates a victory over Racing Club, another prominent Argentine team. The use of the term 'cogimo' (a vulgar slang for defeating or having sexual dominance over someone) reflects the intense rivalry and machismo often associated with football culture in Argentina.

The song is not just a narrative about personal vice and prophecy; it's a representation of the deep connection between football, identity, and destiny in Argentina. The gypsy's predictions serve as a metaphor for the hope and faith that fans place in their team, and the lyrics capture the raw emotion and pride that come with the territory of being a supporter of Los Borrachos Del Tablón 14, the organized group of River Plate fans known for their passionate and sometimes controversial support of their team.
