Yesterday there was football in Asturias, a match that featured a previous ceremony that managed to pinch our hearts and that had as its protagonists Real Oviedo fans already one of the most beloved Asturians in music, the current favorite son of his land and who feels the colors of his team’s shirt the most: Melendi
After the pipe band that played the famous anthem “Asturias, beloved homeland”from the stands of the Carlos Tartiere stadium Thousands of fans stood up and chanted his name in unison: “Melendi, Melendi, Melendi”
Already on the grass of the playing field, the Asturian visibly emotional and in tears, I appreciated the affection encouraging everyone to sing “Volveremos”, the song he composed in 2006 to encourage his Real Oviedo team after going down to the second division.
We will be back
I have cut myself
and my blood comes out blue
since the day my father
He took me to Carlos Tartiere.
We will return to the First Division
because we deserve it
the team and its fans
we will return, we will return,
I will chant your name again
Hala Oviedo!, Real Oviedo,
your people never hide.
We can’t live like this
watching our team suffer.
We carry you in our hearts
and the hard thing is to see you like this.
Hala Oviedo!, with passion.
¡Hala Oviedo!, with cojones.
We put our heart.
I dreamed that they were reborn
carbayones hearts
with the pride of being
of the color, of the color of my childhood
the color of our life
blue that saw us grow
If you missed it we leave you the video of the moment of ovation. That’s how exciting the public’s reception was when they saw Melendi going out to the field.
