Señores Soy de Boedo
San Lorenzo
The Passionate Anthem of a Football Fan
The song "Señores Soy de Boedo" is a vibrant and passionate anthem dedicated to the Argentine football club San Lorenzo, which is based in the Boedo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The lyrics express the deep connection and loyalty the fans, known as 'Cuervos,' feel towards their team. The song starts by proudly declaring the singer's identity as being from Boedo, a place described as having 'mucho huevo,' a Spanish slang term for courage or boldness. This line sets the tone for the song, emphasizing pride in both the neighborhood and the football club.
The song also includes a competitive edge, referencing rivalries with other teams such as Huracán ('los quemeros') and Boca Juniors ('La Boca'). The lyrics mention victories over these teams, suggesting that these rivals have experienced 'amargura,' or bitterness, due to San Lorenzo's success. This competitive spirit is a common element in football chants, where fans often celebrate their triumphs over rival teams.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of unwavering support for San Lorenzo. The fans pledge to follow the team wherever they play, offering their hearts and voices until the end. The ultimate devotion is expressed in the lines about dying, where the fan asks to pass away surrounded by the 'Banda del Ciclón,' another nickname for San Lorenzo's supporters. The repeated chants of wanting to see the team become champions ('Cuervo, yo te quiero ver campeón') encapsulate the longing and aspiration of the fans for their beloved team's success.
