Song in Tribute to the Ninho Boys Victims of Tragedy Was Not Sung Against Lanús (ARG)


Since 2019, it has become a tradition, at ten minutes into the first half, for the fans to sing a song in tribute to the ten Ninho Boys who were victims of a fire at the Training Center. However, against Lanús (ARG), the lyrics were not sung. The leader of Raça Rubro-Negra, 'Lula da Raça', is leading the campaign for the tribute not to occur during the 90 minutes.

An appeal to our stands: let's retire the mourning. Let's keep the mourning, let's stop, at ten minutes… It's a special appeal. For the people who are spiritualists, Kardecists, it's very bad to keep singing this mourning in the stands… It's a spiritual thing. I know friends who don't like to sing this mourning in the stands always at ten minutes into the game —, said Lula, on the 'Terraflamistas' podcast.

It affects the emotions, as they believe these people can return on another plane. Let's stop singing. Until when? It's a mourning that hurts. We've already prayed, marched, created the song. Let's sing the song if Flamengo becomes champion, in a tone of joy, rather than mourning. I'm asking to stop, out of love for the stands —, he added.

WHEN WAS THE INTERVIEW?

The conversation between 'Lula da Raça' and Terraflamistas took place a month ago, but the clip of the fan talking about the Ninho Boys' song went viral in recent days. After all, in the Recopa against Lanús, the Nation did not sing the lyrics for the eternal rubro-negros at ten minutes, sparking much debate on social media.

WHAT ARE THE LYRICS IN TRIBUTE TO THE NINHO BOYS?

“Ah! How I wish to have you here Honoring Mengão's mantle With grit and passion! But this Nation will never forget Flamengo will play Forever for you! Ô, olê, olê, olê, olê, olê There are ten stars shining In the sky of my Mengão”
