“Ay, me voy otra vez
Ahí te dejo, Madrid”
Mourinho’s theme. The chorus translates to “Oh, I’m leaving again. I’m leaving you behind, Madrid.” There's a new Crackovia gag with him in a hot air balloon singing this as he flies away. I'll have to find it...
Summertime Sadness - Lana del Rey
Click to view“Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best
I've got that summertime,
Summertime sadness.”
For the mass exodus of players that is expected to take place this summer.
Home - Ellie Goulding
“I work until it's late,
Walk in and close the gate
I look in the window
And I gaze at my face
Every line and every abrasion,
This took my life to make
This took my life to make”
For when a canterano decides to leave Madrid. :’(
I’m Not Yours - Angus and Julia Stone
“And I can think of a thousand reasons why
I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you and I.
I'm not yours anymore
I'm not yours anymore
No, I'm not yours anymore.”
For when one of our boys comes out of the tunnel next season wearing another team’s jersey.
Tiempo - Bocatabú
“Tiempo - qué rareza que extraño todo
Lo sucedido…”
Translates to: “Time - how strange, I miss everything that’s happened.” For that random Sunday or Thursday in, say, July when you realize there’s no football and even though this season sucked you actually miss everything.
Clique - Kanye West
“Ain’t nobody fuckin’ with my
Clique, clique, clique, clique, clique.
Ain’t nobody fresher than my motherfuckin'
Clique, clique, clique, clique, clique.”
For when you are reminiscing about the events of this past season and suddenly remember that Messi actually waited for Arbeloa in our parking lot to pick a fight with him. To this day I still laugh.
Creepers - Kid Cudi
“Yeah, I see you waitin’ over there
See you jockin’ over there
See you lookin’ at my girl over here
Why you worried ’bout this girl over here?
Keep your eyes over there, it is creepy when you stare.”
See above.
Al Sur de Portugal - Band a Part
“Quizas un cambio de aires
No nos vendria nada mal,
Nadando en el Algarve,
Al sol del sur de Portugal.”
Translates to “Maybe a change of scenery would not be too bad for us, swimming in the Algarve in the sun of southern Portugal.” For when our Portuguese beauties decide to go sunbathing in the Algarve.
HYFR (Hell Yeah, Fucking Right) - Drake
“Interviews are like confessions
Get the fuck up out my dressing room, confusing me with questions like:
‘Do you love this shit?’ ‘Are you high right now?’ ‘Do you ever get nervous?’
‘Are you single?’ ‘I heard you fucked your girl, is it true?’
‘You getting money?’ ‘You think them niggas you with is with you?’
And I say, ‘Hell yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah, fuckin' right, fuckin' right, alright.’”
Marcelo’s theme. He basically tagged everything #HYFR on his Instagram back in the day.
Bromance - Nigahiga
“I confess, I'm a mess
If I'm not hanging with my BFF.
You know its true, you my male boo,
Now sing the chorus with me if you're feeling the same way too:
Bromance, nothing really gay about it
Not, that there's anything wrong with being gay
Bromance, shouldn't be ashamed or hide it
I love you in the most heterosexual way.”
For when our boys are being adorably bromantic with each other this summer.
Sale el Sol - Shakira
“No hay mal que dure cien años
Ni cuerpo que lo aguante
Y lo mejor siempre espera adelante.”
Those first two lines make up one of my favorite Spanish sayings. Summed up, it translates to “Nothing bad lasts forever, something’s got to give.” Nothing bad will ever last for long, like this season, these transfers, none of it.
Aguas de Março - Elis Regina (Tom Jobim cover)
“São as águas de março fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida no teu coração.”
And a more uplifting song. A Brazilian classic that talks about all the little things that mark the end of summer.
So share all of your football therapy music! And all your Higuain memories songs, your Carvalho, Essien, etc songs. We'll get through this crazy summer together!!
