Rossobianchi

cj_lad · 19th March 2008, 03:02

I've not seen it on here yet, but this is a song that's been building up quite a bit of momentum on RI. Just thought I'd post it up here so that anyone going to the game tomorrow can have a better chance at joining in. Seeing OT bouncing up and down to this would be unbelievable, let's try and get it going!

Tune - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gX-HP7...eature=related

Manchester (x 8)

From the green and gold, to Rossobianchi
The boys from Old Trafford, mean everything to me
The pride of all Europe, the team above all teams
We are United, and so we all sing

United (x 8)

Fight for Manchester, and the RED ARMY
Fight for United, our glorious history
Fight for the Red shirts, they fight for you and me
Fight for the greatness, of M.U.F.C

Bammy · 19th March 2008, 03:11

Yeah it could work. Will probably take people a while to get all the words of it though.Also needs to be sung quickly, I could imagine it sounding crap and more suitable for a funeral than a football match if sung wrong.

cj_lad · 19th March 2008, 03:41

Nah I don't agree, think it would sound shit if it was sung too fast. Needs to be the same pace as in that video (with people going as berserk as the River Plate fans)

Psmith · 19th March 2008, 06:30

I occasionaly browse RI and saw that. It'll be brilliant to get this going.

Marcos will be particularly pleased to see this.

bbest · 19th March 2008, 06:31

Very impressive. Hope the guys can pull it off.

A1Dan · 19th March 2008, 13:02

I've not got sound at work - what's the tune?

A1Dan · 19th March 2008, 13:10

BTW - no way it will take off in the ground with all those words and two verses. Nobody even sings the whole of something as short as "for ever and ever"...

cj_lad · 19th March 2008, 13:21

Yeah, it's fair enough it will be pretty difficult. The problem with our atmosphere is that there are a fair amount of people who are up for it (although at times it really doesnt seem so), but feel that they can't get something going because of all the people who aren't up for it sitting around them (Stretty excluded). We need to make the fuckers that don't want to sing the minority, as they rightly should be, which will in turn hopefully make them attempt to join in. Things like this song can only help, plus I've had it in my head for days now and I can't wait for tonight! (despite the fact that first time round it will probably be a horrendous flop.) As someone on RI said, the Manchester, manchester..... bit will be easy enough for the day trippers to join in with, leaving the verses for bare top reds!

What's the tune, dude?

cj_lad · 19th March 2008, 13:30

It's a tricky one mate I didn't know it before, if you know your Argie football at all then it's a song that River Plate fans sing about Boca called 'sos cagon'. Apart from going 'der der der, der der der, der der der, der der der' the best I can do is say wait til you get home. It's class though, would be amazing to bounce up and down to!

A1Dan · 19th March 2008, 13:37

Ah - like the Viva Ronaldo one?

Anybody know what that tune is originally? Spanish have been singing it for years...

Yeah I meant quickly as in the same as the video

Psmith · 19th March 2008, 13:56

A1, the best person to ask about the tune would be Marcos he's a river plate fan.

bbest · 19th March 2008, 15:39

A1Dan · 19th March 2008, 17:46

Think you may need to change your tag-line... you can add "Caf's worst singer" too

Fair play for giving it a go though!

quethenoo · 19th March 2008, 18:44

If it ended up anything like that river clip it would be fuckin ace, that looked totally jumping!

Only saw the match on tv, didn't hear this,didn't expect to though.

Anyone who went to the match try to get it going?

Bump. More people should hear bbest or the bloke from RI. He's definitely got the X Factor

marcus agrippa · 21st March 2008, 19:39

this chant is class. i hope it picks up.

FortBoyard · 30th March 2008, 15:19

Apparently there was smatterings at OT of this yesterday.

I hope to God its picks up, quality chant.

KingEric7 · 30th March 2008, 15:23

It'd be fantastic to sing and hear that at Old Trafford.

If it did I didnt hear it.

Its not exactly a household tune is it. No doubt it sounds awesome when all of the River fans sing it.

(plus it would piss Tevez off if he heard it....)

Erics_Collar · 30th March 2008, 15:40

Razwan000 · 19th May 2008, 18:38

If United fans could pull off a tune like this at moscow, the 100 or so chelsea fans would leave with nothing and be deaf

ralphie88 · 19th May 2008, 19:17

Still not heard it sung at United. Shame.

McLovin · 19th May 2008, 20:42

Fucking class chant.

ThatOldRedMagic · 19th May 2008, 21:15

What are they singing in the chorus part? Presumably the name of their team but I could'nt make it out. Three syllables is of course ideal - U-nit-ed and Man-ches-ter. No good for Arse or Chelsea, but the dippers might use it to effect. Best we get there first, as I can see the effect on rivals of this kind of relentless chant. Viva Ronaldo does the same, but this new one could be awesome.

Actually, three syllables; what about 'Red-Dev-ils, red-dev-ils? (none of our songs actually uses our nickname come to think of it; would it be OK?)

ThatOldRedMagic · 20th May 2008, 14:57

OK, I've Google'd it and come up with a post from some S American soccer forum;

And I must say that I totally become addicted to it. it`s great, I like the rhythm and whole “ambiance”
Can you give me/us little background about this particular clip and also lyrics of it?
Why are you in from of a stadium?
Was is out of protest or ..?

Thank you [/quote]
Hello!!! the video is taken from the minutes before the crowd gets into the tribune. the lyrics of this song are, in spanish:

Ay che bostero... vos sos ortiva!!!
vos sos amigo... de la policía!!!
en Mar del Plata... no te plantaste...
Con Los Borrachos, como cobraste!!!
sos cagón, sos cagón, sos cagón, sos cagón!!!
sos cagón, sos cagón, sos cagón, sos cagón!!!

in english it's something like this:

hey you boca supporter, you're friend of the police
in Mar del Plata, you didn't face us
and by the Drunkers (river plate suporters), you were hitted
you're a coward, you' re a coward, you're a coward, you' re a coward!!!

excuse me, my english is really basic, and some of the words of the song doesn't have a translation in english.

here you have more videos and pictures:
http://www.riverplate.com/es/foto/ [/quote]

uh oh

Obviously the 'O' in 'Cagon' is accented, so 'sos cagon' is pronounced 'sos cayay' in the song you hear.

Also, as it's a taunt to rival Boca Juniors fans, and means 'you're cowards' maybe we should get something similar going; instead of 'Manchester' or 'United' replacing sos cagon, perhaps some insult to the dippers would be better?

Any thoughts caftards?
