Chants

Stadium chants
on matchday.

Real fan chants for the national team — original, phonetic in Russian, translation and context.

Yo soy español
Yo soy español, español, español
[Yo soy español, español, español]
I am Spanish, Spanish, Spanish (4 times)

From Euro 2008. A simple six-syllable mantra, chanted until hoarse.

A por ellos, oé
A por ellos, oé!
[A por ellos, oé!]
At them, come on! / Get them!

A mobilizing chant, raised before an attack. Became a meme during the 2010 World Cup final.
