Eu Só Quero Vencer Lá No Chiqueiro

The song 'Eu Só Quero Vencer Lá No Chiqueiro' by Geral do Grêmio is a passionate anthem that encapsulates the intense rivalry between two of Brazil's most famous football clubs: Grêmio and Internacional. The lyrics are a raw and unfiltered expression of a Grêmio fan's desire to see their team triumph, especially in matches against their arch-rivals, Internacional. The term 'chiqueiro' (pigsty) is a derogatory reference to Internacional's stadium, emphasizing the deep-seated animosity between the two fan bases.

The song's chorus, 'Eu só quero vencer lá no chiqueiro,' translates to 'I just want to win there in the pigsty,' highlighting the importance of victory in enemy territory. This sentiment is further amplified by the dismissive attitude towards Internacional's supporters, underscoring the fierce competitive spirit that defines this rivalry. The lyrics also reflect a sense of unity and unwavering support from Grêmio's fans, known as 'Geral,' who are depicted as ever-present and relentless in their encouragement of the team.

Beyond the rivalry, the song also celebrates the enduring loyalty of Grêmio's supporters. Lines like 'Passam-se os anos, Passam-se os jogadores, Geral está presente, Não para de apoiar' ('Years pass, players come and go, but Geral is always present, never stops supporting') emphasize the timeless and steadfast nature of their fandom. This unwavering support is a cornerstone of the club's identity, fostering a deep connection between the team and its fans. The song concludes with a provocative taunt directed at Internacional, reinforcing the combative and passionate nature of this football rivalry.
