Dicen Que Estamos Mal de La Cabeza

The song 'Dicen Que Estamos Mal de La Cabeza' by Los De Abajo is a vibrant and energetic anthem that captures the essence of sports fandom, particularly within the context of football (soccer) supporters. The title itself, which translates to 'They Say We Are Crazy in the Head,' sets the tone for a defiant celebration of the passion and dedication that fans have for their team, despite any outside judgment or criticism.

The lyrics mention drinking beer ('Cerveza') and smoking marijuana as part of the revelry surrounding the support of the team, which in this case is likely a reference to a specific football club known as 'la bulla.' The repeated chant 'Dale león' translates to 'Go lion,' which is a common encouragement for teams with a lion mascot or symbol. The song embodies the camaraderie and collective identity that fans share, as well as the unwavering belief that their team will triumph ('este año vamos a salir primero,' meaning 'this year we will finish first').

Los De Abajo, known for their fusion of ska, rock, and other musical influences, often incorporate socially and politically charged themes into their music. However, in this song, the focus is on the unifying and sometimes intoxicating experience of being part of a sports team's fan base. The song serves as an anthem for the supporters, a rallying cry that binds the community together in anticipation of victory.
