Corinthians’ first anthem gets samba makeover nearly a century on | OneFootball

Corinthians has revived a fundamental part of its musical memory with the re-recording of the club’s first anthem, originally released in 1930. The new version, performed by the samba singer and Corinthians composer Faeti Ramos, was produced with support from the Cultural Department and is now available on Spotify – click HERE to listen. The club also plans an official launch of the work at the Corinthians Memorial, where the music video will be presented to the public.

The original work was composed in 1929 by La Rosa Sobrinho, who wrote the lyrics, and Eduardo Dohmen, responsible for the melody. Recorded the following year by the duo Guarani and Pirajá, the song directly reflected the moment Timão was experiencing: on the field, Corinthians was on its way to its second Paulista three-peat, won in 1928, 1929, and 1930. The anthem, offered to then-president Felipe Collona, became an institutional symbol and remained the club’s musical reference for more than two decades.

Originally composed as a marchinha, the predominant rhythm in Brazil at the time, the anthem is now reinterpreted in samba rhythm, referencing the strong connection between the fans and carnival, as well as the Gaviões da Fiel samba school. The performance was entrusted to Faeti, an artist recognized for compositions dedicated to Corinthians, such as “Epitáfio Corinthiano” and “Eu Nasci Corinthiano.”

The initiative to revisit the first anthem arose during Raul Corrêa da Silva’s tenure at the Cultural Department, and the recording was sponsored by his company, BDO. The project continued under the current department director, Rafael Castilho, who is responsible for overseeing the official launch and preserving the club’s black-and-white memory.

Check out the lyrics of Corinthians’ first anthem:

Fight, FightIt is always our motto, for glory.Play, PlayAnd win the laurels of victory.And proclaim our banner.It is black and white and will always shine.

Fight, with vigorFor the greatness and glory of Brazil.

CORINTHIANS! CORINTHIANS!
