Soy de River Vago Y Atorrante

The song "Soy de River Vago Y Atorrante" is a chant commonly heard in the stands of River Plate, one of Argentina's most famous and successful football clubs. The lyrics express the fervent and unwavering support of the fans for their team, known as 'Los Millonarios'. The term 'vago y atorrante' can be roughly translated to 'lazy and rascal', but in the context of the song, it reflects a sense of pride in the fan's dedication to following the team regardless of the circumstances.

The chant also includes a competitive edge, mentioning the team's rivals. 'A la boca la vamos a prender fuego' refers to setting fire to La Boca, the neighborhood of Buenos Aires that is home to Boca Juniors, River Plate's arch-rivals. 'Y esta noche, al rojo lo cogemos' is a boastful claim about defeating Club Atlético Independiente, another major Argentine club, often referred to as 'El Rojo' (The Red). The repetition of 'Vamos River Plate' serves as a rallying cry, uniting the fans in their common goal of cheering their team to victory.

This song is a testament to the cultural significance of football in Argentina, where the sport transcends mere entertainment and becomes a part of the fans' identity. The lyrics encapsulate the passion, rivalry, and sense of belonging that are integral to the football experience in South America, and particularly in Argentina, where the sport is deeply ingrained in the social fabric.
