Letra del Tango Boca Juniors

Entre humildes casitas de madera

Nació este club, nuestro gran club de la ribera,

Y se hizo fuerte, tan fuerte como roca

Y encadenó los corazones de la Boca.

Esa barriada que llora de emociones

Por Boca Juniors campeón de los campeones,

En las hazañas de su larga trayectoria

Cuántas estrellas conquistó para su gloria.



Entre humildes casitas de madera

Nació esta hinchada, que te quiere y te venera.



¡Boca, gol de Boca!

Es el grito ardiente de la gente.

¡Boca, Boca Juniors!

En todas partes estás presente.

¡Boca!, En tus gloriosas jornadas,

Entrega la muchachada

De verdad, su corazón.

¡Boca Juniors, Boca Juniors!

¡Merecés esta canción!.



Entre humildes casitas de madera

Nació este club, nuestro gran club de la ribera,

Y se hizo fuerte, tan fuerte como roca

Y encadenó los corazones de la Boca.

En las hazañas de su larga trayectorias

Cuántas estrellas conquistó para su gloria.



Entre humildes casitas de madera

Nació esta hinchada, que te quiere y te venera.

English lyrics of the Tango "Boca Juniors"

Amid humble wooden houses

This club was born, our great riverside club,

And it grew strong, as strong as rock

And it chained the hearts of La Boca.

That neighborhood that cries with emotion

For Boca Juniors, champion of champions,

In the feats of its long history

How many stars it won for its glory.



Amid humble wooden houses

These fans were born, who love and venerate you.



Boca, a goal from Boca!

Is the fiery cry of the people.

Boca, Boca Juniors!

You are present everywhere.

Boca! In your glorious days,

The young folks

Truly give their hearts.

Boca Juniors, Boca Juniors!

You deserve this song!.



Amid humble wooden houses

This club was born, our great riverside club,

And it grew strong, as strong as rock

And it chained the hearts of La Boca.

In the feats of its long history

How many stars it won for its glory.



Amid humble wooden houses

These fans were born, who love and venerate you.

Story behind the Tango Boca Juniors

The tango “Boca Juniors” is a heartfelt homage to the famous Argentine football club, Boca Juniors, highlighting its humble beginnings amongst the wooden houses in the La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The lyrics celebrate the passionate support of the club’s fans and the team’s successes over the years. This song encapsulates both a deep sense of local pride and the universal themes of loyalty and community that surge around sports teams worldwide.



Symbolism of Boca Juniors

The lyrics use several powerful symbols to pay tribute to Boca Juniors. “Entre humildes casitas de madera” symbolizes the modest beginnings of the club, nestled in the La Boca neighborhood known for its working-class roots and colorful architecture. The “casitas de madera” or small wooden houses, also reflect the vulnerability and resilience of a community that overcame socioeconomic challenges. The imagery of the club growing “strong as a rock” and chaining “the hearts of Boca” underscores the emotional bond and unwavering support of the fans. The repeated emphasis on the team’s victories and storied history, “campeón de los campeones” and “cuántas estrellas conquistó para su gloria,” portrays the club as a beacon of hope and a source of collective triumph in the community.



Boca Juniors in historic Context

Post-World War II Argentina was marked by rapid social and economic changes, and football played a central role in the nation’s cultural identity. Boca Juniors, historically one of the most successful clubs in Argentina, symbolizes not just sporting excellence but also resilience and pride for the working-class community of La Boca. Thus, the tango becomes not only a celebration of Boca Juniors’ victories but also a narrative of neighborhood pride and cultural identity.
