Ay Che Bostero

The song "Ay Che Bostero" is a football chant by the supporters of the Argentine club River Plate. The lyrics express the deep passion and unwavering support the fans have for their team, as well as the intense rivalry they share with their opponents, particularly Boca Juniors, who are colloquially known as 'bosteros'. The chant is a staple in the stands during matches, serving to unite the fans and boost the team's morale.

The opening lines, 'A donde vayas / Siempre estaremos,' translate to 'Wherever you go / We will always be there,' highlighting the fans' commitment to follow and support their team in all circumstances. The repetition of 'Esta es tu hinchada / Esta es tu gente' emphasizes that the fanbase is an integral part of the club's identity. The chant also includes a direct taunt towards Independiente, another rival club, suggesting that they should be fearful when River Plate comes to their neighborhood, Avellaneda.

The latter part of the chant focuses on mocking Boca Juniors, accusing them of being cowardly ('sos cagón') and in collusion with the police ('vos sos amigo / de la policía'). The reference to an incident in Mar Del Plata, where Boca Juniors allegedly did not confront River Plate's 'borrachos' (drunk fans), is used to further ridicule them. The repetition of '¡Sos cagón!' serves as a powerful and derisive chant, aimed at undermining the courage and strength of their rivals.
