'Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar' (Guys! We are all excited again!)
Football unites Argentinians, no matter their political views, social background, religion, or location.
During each match, and specially during the World Cup, we, Argentinians were supporting our squad by singing with passion, either at the stadium, in a pub, club or from our own homes in front of the telly.
This year, at Qatar 2022, one special song became a big hit.
'Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar' song by La Mosca is now popular around the world.
Since no translation into English is available online yet, here it's my transcreated version of the lyrics of this cheering anthem for Argentina 2022:
Guys! We are all excited again!
I was born in Argentina,
land of Diego and Lionel
of the young boys of Malvinas
whom I will never forget.
I can't explain this to you
because you won't understand
the finals that we lost
how many years I cried about those.
But that's over,
because at the Maracana
the final with the Brazilians
was won again by us, (their Dad).
Guys, we are all excited again!
I want to win the third one,
I want to be World Champion.
And we can see Diego
in heaven with his dad and mum
cheering on Lionel.
Let's be champions one more time!
Let's be champions one more time!
