The Unwavering Passion of a River Plate Fan
The song 'Hace Tiempo (calamaro - Diez Años Depues)' by River Plate is an anthem that captures the unwavering support and deep emotional connection fans have with their beloved football club, River Plate. The lyrics express the dedication of a fan who has been following the team for a long time, through both good times and bad. The fan has experienced a range of emotions, from tears to celebrations, and even confrontations, likely referring to the intense atmosphere at football matches.
The chorus of the song is a rallying cry for the team, known as 'Millonario,' a nickname for River Plate. The fan urges the team to put in effort ('ponga huevo') to secure a victory. The repetition of 'y vamos' (let's go) emphasizes the urgency and desire for the team to perform well. The phrase 'hoy no podemos perder' (today we cannot lose) highlights the high stakes of the game and the fan's hope for a win. The final plea, 'te pido no me falles' (I ask you not to fail me), shows the deep emotional investment the fan has in the team's success.
The song is not just about football; it's about identity and community. The mention of 'la yuta ni el juez' (the police or the judge) suggests that the fan's loyalty is so strong that not even legal authorities can diminish it. This speaks to the cultural phenomenon of football in Argentina, where the sport transcends mere entertainment and becomes a part of one's life and identity. The passion for the team is unshakeable, and the song is a testament to the lengths fans will go to support their team.
