Letra del Tango Racing Club

Racing Club de Avellaneda
club de mi pueblo querido,
yo que admiro con cariño
tu valiente batallar
en esas horas gloriosas
para el deporte argentino,
fuiste campeón genuino
de la masa popular.

Racing Club, vos que diste
academia en la América del Sur
gran campeón de los tiempos viejos de oro
del futbol de mi Nación,
yo quisiera ver triunfar a tus colores,
que son los de mi bandera
porque aún seguís siendo para todos
el glorioso Racing Club.

Noble club con gran cariño
te sigue la muchachada
la que tan entusiasmada
te sabrá siempre alentar,
porque sos vos Racing Club
la gloria del tiempo de oro
como el Alumni que añoro
y jamás volverá.

English lyrics of the Tango "Racing Club"

Racing Club from Avellaneda,
club of my beloved town,
I who admire with affection
your brave fighting
in those glorious hours
for Argentine sport,
you were a genuine champion
of the popular masses.

Racing Club, you who gave
academy in South America
great champion of the old golden times
of the football of my Nation,
I would like to see your colors triumph,
which are those of my flag
because you still continue to be for everyone
the glorious Racing Club.

Noble club with great affection
the youth follows you
the ones so enthusiastic
will always know how to cheer you on,
because you are, Racing Club,
the glory of the golden age
like the Alumni I miss
and will never return.
