Songs, Insults and Football Vocabulary

If you attend a match with Armada Sur, you'll be expected to get into the swing of things along with everyone else and add your vocal talents to those that already exist in the terraces.

If the referee makes a bad decision, you may want to inform him that he seems to have erred along with the rest of the supporters, therefore this page is here as a guide to the small bit of Spanish you might have to use at various points of the match and in some cases, the meanings...

Songs

Armada Sur has added a couple of its own songs to the Frente Blanquiazul songbook, so we shall start with these first... The first one is sung to the tune of "Hey Baby" by DJ Otzi and goes a little bit like this... The original words are in italics whereas the football song will be in Bold.

Oh... Ten-er-if-e!... ooh! aah!....
Hey... he-y ba-by..... ooh! aah!......

Fren-te blan-qui-az-ul................. lo, lo, lo, lo, lo.
I wan-na know-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow...... if you'll be my girl.

The second song is sung to the tune of "Brown Girl in the Ring" by Boney M and goes like this...

Fren-te Hoo-li-gan... lo lo lo lo lo
brown girl in the ring... la la la la la

Fren-te Hoo-li-gan.... lo... lo lo lo lo lo
brown girl in the ring... la... la la la la la

The third is the Armada Sur adopted anthem, which you may recognise from the intro to this site. Sung to the tune of Hawaii Five-O, it goes something like this...

Lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo.....Armada Sur

Lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo.....Armada Sur

(sung whilst jumping around frantically) Lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo.....

lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo,lo..... Armada Sur!

Most songs are very simple and repeated over and over. There is the odd exception, however unless you are in regular attendance of the games you don't need to worry about those ones just yet. The further you get down this page, the more advanced the songs will be...

Another good one to know is in Spanish, but quite easy to learn. It is sung when a member of the opposing team is sent off, injured or substituted off and is sung as they leave the pitch to the tune of the infamous football song "Here we go"...

Ad-i-os...... Ad-i-os...... Ad-i-os.......
Here we go, here we go, here we go...

Ad-i-os...... Ad-i-os...... Ad-i-oh-oh......
Here we go, here we go, here we go-oh...

Ad-i-os...... Ad-i-os...... Ad-i-os.......
Here we go, here we go, here we go...

Hijo de puta.... Ad-i-os......!
Here we go-oh, here we go...

This translates as "goodbye, male offspring of a lady of the night!"

Another tune you might be familiar with is that of "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys. A simple song that is sung to this tune consists of one line sung over again to the whole chorus...

Fren-te.... Bla-an-qui-a-zul....... etc.
Go West, life is peace-ful there... etc.

And so on....

General Football Vocabulary*

This section is useful when listening to the radio commentary, or watching a match on the TV. It contains all the Spanish football terms and will help you understand what's going on... needless to say, if the commentator shouts "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!" It means we've scored, however if they say "gol." it means the other team's scored... read on!
