As promised, due to many requests, I’ll list, translate and then maybe even explain most of the chants that Argentine supporters will sing in the final, for those non-argentinians who want to join in.
Lyrics both in Spanish and English will be provided.
🇦🇷
“Sean eternos los laureles
Que supimos conseguir (x2)
Coronados de gloria vivamos
O Juremos con gloria morir! (x3)”
🇬🇧
“May the laurels be eternal
that we were able to achieve x2
Let us live crowned in glory
Or let us swear to die with glory! (x3)”
7) Escuchen, corran la bola
Another pretty important yet controversial one.
It is is a social critique on French colonialism on African countries — and was also widely supported by the African footballing community. It’s against the French government.
It‘a against how France — via the use of CFA Franc currency — issues money in exchange for ~50% of exports from African countries such as Burkina Faso ending in French treasury
Argentina stands with Africa against neocolonialism ❤️
As many of you have seen, an argentinian fan chant titled “Muchachos Ahora Nos Volvimos a Ilusionar” became very popular and is sung around all corners of Qatar.
In this thread I will explain the lyrics for all English speaking Argentina fans out there who want to join in.
People who attended Argentina matches have noticed that apart from the sheer passion that can be seen from Argentine fans, one particular chant was sung repeatedly. Videos of Lionel Messi and Argentinian national team players can also be seen singing that chant with supporters.
Here’s both the original lyrics and the (approximate) translation.
While most of the lyrics are self-explanatory, some people may not get some parts of the chant so I’ll explain them.
