Che, Racing, Pedís Vino y Copas No Tenés

The song "Che, Racing, Pedís Vino y Copas No Tenés" by Club Atlético Independiente is a football chant that embodies the fierce rivalry between two of Argentina's most prominent football clubs: Independiente and Racing Club. The lyrics are a taunt from the perspective of an Independiente fan, boasting about their club's historical success and mocking Racing Club's comparatively less illustrious record.

The opening lines express a satirical 'fatigue' of being champions, highlighting the frequency of Independiente's victories and their passionate support 'on the stands' until the very end. The phrase 'Orgullo de la nación y por siempre tu papá' (Pride of the nation and forever your father) is a bold claim of dominance over Racing Club, suggesting a paternalistic superiority. The mention of '35 años de luto' (35 years of mourning) likely refers to a period of Racing Club's underperformance or a specific event that has left a lasting stain on their history.

The chorus, starting with 'Che, Racing,' uses the informal 'che,' akin to 'hey,' to grab attention. The line 'Pedís vino y copa no tenés' (You ask for wine, and you have no cup) is a metaphorical jibe at Racing Club's lack of trophies ('cups') despite their desires ('asking for wine'). The song also reminds Racing Club of their time in a lower division ('Vos jugabas en la B') while Independiente was achieving international acclaim. The final accusation of Racing Club 'regalaste los colores' (you gave away the colors) when they 'went backwards' could refer to a moment of perceived betrayal or failure in Racing Club's history. Overall, the song is a celebration of Independiente's triumphs and a playful yet cutting critique of their rivals.
