Decime Boca

The song 'Decime Boca' by Los Borrachos Del Tablón 14 is a vivid portrayal of football rivalry and fan bravado, specifically targeting the supporters of Boca Juniors, a famous Argentine football club. The lyrics recount an incident in Mar del Plata, where the supporters of Boca Juniors, referred to derogatorily, allegedly failed to stand their ground against their rivals. The song uses this event to highlight themes of courage, loyalty, and the fierce pride of football fanatics.

The phrase 'Que no te dio la nafta' metaphorically suggests that Boca fans lacked the stamina or courage, likening their energy to 'nafta' (fuel). The song continues to describe a confrontation where Boca supporters, despite appearing tough ('Con esos gordos que se daban de guapos'), retreated when faced with 'los borrachos' (a term used by the singers to describe themselves and their fellow River Plate supporters). This retreat is portrayed as shameful and dishonorable within the context of the song.

The repeated lines 'Vos sos un cagon, la mentira se acabo' serve as a taunting refrain, accusing Boca fans of being cowards and stating that their pretense of bravery is now over. This chant-like repetition emphasizes the rivalry and is likely used to rally the spirits of River Plate fans, reinforcing group identity and solidarity against their traditional adversaries.
