Ohh, ohh, ohh... Te Alientan de Corazón

The song "Ohh, ohh, ohh... Te Alientan de Corazón" is a football chant associated with the Argentine sports club River Plate, specifically its football team. The lyrics express the fervent support and unwavering passion of the fans, known as 'Los Borrachos del Tablón,' which is a nickname for the club's most ardent supporters. The song serves as a rallying cry, uniting fans in their common love for the team and their commitment to cheer them on, regardless of the circumstances.

The lyrics mention the act of coming to see the team play ('Hoy te vinimos a ver') and the desire for the team to win another championship ('Otra vuelta quiere dar'). This reflects the high expectations and the intense pressure that fans place on the team to succeed. The phrase 'River vos sos la pasión, La vida dejo por vos' highlights the depth of the fans' dedication, suggesting that they prioritize their support for River Plate above all else in life. The mention of Boca, River Plate's historic rival, in 'Boca no chamuyes más, Sin fierros no te plantas' is a taunt, accusing them of not being brave enough to face River without weapons ('fierros').

The repeated lines 'Ohh, ohh, ohh, Te alientan de corazón' and 'Ohh, ohh, ohh, Los borrachos del tablón' emphasize the heartfelt support ('Te alientan de corazón') that the fans provide and their identity as 'Los Borrachos del Tablón.' The chant is not just about the sport; it's a cultural expression that encapsulates the identity, rivalry, and emotional investment of the fans in their team. It's a testament to the cultural significance of football in Argentina, where the sport transcends the boundaries of the pitch and becomes a way of life.
