Por Qué Te Vas

La Banda Del Manya's song "Por Qué Te Vas" is a fervent tribute to the fans of the Uruguayan football club Peñarol. The lyrics are a passionate declaration of loyalty and love for the team, encapsulating the spirit and culture of its supporters. The opening line, "Soy del Carbonero si señor, de corazón," translates to "I am from the Carbonero, yes sir, from the heart," indicating a deep, heartfelt connection to the club. The term "Carbonero" is a nickname for Peñarol, derived from the club's historical association with the railway and coal industry.

The song continues with the line "tomando vino voy a ver a Peñarol, que descontrol," which means "drinking wine, I go to see Peñarol, what a mess." This line captures the festive and sometimes chaotic atmosphere that surrounds football matches, where fans gather, drink, and celebrate their team. The mention of "Marihuana nunca faltará, hay que ganar," or "Marijuana will never be missing, we have to win," reflects the casual and rebellious nature of some fans, emphasizing their dedication and the lengths they go to support their team.

The chorus, "y todos juntos la vuelta vamos a dar, dale campeón," translates to "and all together we will take the victory lap, go champion." This line is a rallying cry for unity and triumph, expressing the collective hope and determination of the fans to see their team succeed. The song is not just about football; it is a celebration of community, loyalty, and the unbreakable bond between the fans and their beloved club, Peñarol.
