olé olé olé Explanation: You can't translate it really. Search Results Olé, Olé, Olé - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Olé, Olé, Olé" (from Spanish: "Oé, Oé, Oé") is a soccer chant. Contents. 1 Origin; 2 Anderlecht Champion. 2.1 Olé, Olé, Olé (The Name of the Game); 2.2 ¡Olé! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 minutos (2014-06-06 09:04:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- One evidence of the chant appeared in an article of the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia from 1982. It was during the final match of the Spanish Football League that year. After Real Sociedad had been proclaimed champion, the people at the Atotxa Stadium in San Sebastián started to sing "Campeones, campeones, hobe, hobe, hobe", which literally means "Champions, champions, we are the best". The latter three words belonging to the Basque language. The chant expanded to the rest of Spain, and become known as "Oé, Oé, Oé". The word "olé" itself, being a Spanish interjection thought to be of Arabic origin, or derived from the Germanic in the Iberian peninsula, from which it also derives the English Hello and the neighbour Portuguese Olá, is mostly associated with the bullfighting of last centuries, but also with other sports after the 19th century.[1] It was chanted when individuals seemed to rise above themselves in performance. The chant is used frequently in football games around the world (for example most often by the supporters of the Republic of Ireland national football team.[2][3]), and can be heard in Montreal Canadiens hockey games when the team is winning.[4] It is also used by supporters of the University of California, Santa Barbara's Gaucho intercollegiate sports teams, particularly the basketball, soccer, cross-country, and track programs, and led to the creation of a mascot, simply named Olé.[5] In the United States, the chant has been used at American football games, most notably at home games for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League and the Michigan Wolverines of college football. The chant is also common at WWE events taking place in Europe, in Montreal (as evidenced during the start of the September 10th, 2012 episode of WWE Raw or the 2009 WWE Breaking Point pay-per-view) or in the U.S. with a large European crowd, such as the April 8th, 2013 edition of WWE Raw at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey the night after WrestleMania 29.[6] In Argentina, sometimes the name of a person the people could be cheering to is added at the end; e.g.: "Olé, olé olé ole, Die-go, Die-go! (referring to Diego Armando Maradona). Wikipedia |
