If you want to move him to tears and forever make him a Red, just have the Kop sing Soy Celeste:

It is a very simple chant (three lines only), but for us it's the equivalent of YNWA and The Fields of Anfield Road, all rolled into one.

Now, as much as I like the just can't get enough song, it's not as fun now that pretty much every team in the country have ripped it off for themselves. What are people's opinions on this as a second song for Suarez (though it doesn't mention his name)?

Currently "soy celeste" means "I'm blue" for the blue of Uruguay. So a little tampering with the lyrics and we have

Soy el rojo! El rojo soy yo
Soy el rojo! El rojo soy yo
Soy el rojo! El rojo soy yo
Soy el rojo! El rojo soy yo

It's pretty simple, has a little rhythm to get us bouncing and is easy for anyone to pick up. Most of all, I'm sure Suarez and Coates would appreciate it.

Oh and in case any of your knuckleheads don't get it, it translates to "I'm red".

Simple yet effective.

I hope it catches on, foreign chants always sound boss.

That's actually brilliant. Think he would love it

I like it

Really hope it catches on at least loud enough to where he can hear it.

I like it.

GODS LEFT BOOT · « **Reply #6 on:** August 6, 2012, 12:31:22 PM »

I like it - or how about just singing Luis Suarez to the first part of the tune?

Pendzo · « **Reply #7 on:** August 6, 2012, 12:35:36 PM »

Would love to hear that after we've scored.

Let's do it!

Chalky Boots · « **Reply #8 on:** August 6, 2012, 12:47:53 PM »

A big yes from me for this.

Always love foreign chants, hard to copy n'all.

Matt8Pie · « **Reply #10 on:** August 6, 2012, 12:55:53 PM »

How about this?

Loooo, Luis Suarez
El es rojo

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #11 on:** August 6, 2012, 01:04:03 PM »

I like it, sure he and Coates would appreciate it too

Kochevnik · « **Reply #12 on:** August 6, 2012, 01:21:38 PM »

"soy el rojo" sounds rather foolish in Spanish.

If you want to do it, "Soy un rojo" works much better:

Soy un rojo,
Soy un rojo.
Un rojo soy yo.

But if you want my opinion, it should just stay "celeste" and make it in honour of us all loving Uruguay. If you want to make it plural you could do this (we are celeste):

Somos celeste,
somos celeste,
Celeste somos.

MushyP15 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 6, 2012, 01:21:55 PM »

Not for me that one, but then again you can't really hear much of it.

iVapor · « **Reply #14 on:** August 6, 2012, 01:24:20 PM »

Reckon its a bit shit, do like the idea of a bit of uruguayan in his song though.

I'm not sing 'i'm Blue' in any language.

Luis Suarez.. Luis Suarez..
He's like a dancing bean no less!
He runs and he leaps like a Salmon with legs..
Oh yes!

Luis Suarez, Luis Suarez...
He's like a giant bear on form
He's like an antelope not like a prawn
Oh Si!

Luis Suarez, Luis Suarez..
Like a giant alien attack ship
With lasers and beams of light
Zapping everywhere and everyone with fright!

Luis Suarez!! Luis Suarez!!
He's like a ninja, Leapin' and jumpin' at ya!
He's in and he's out as he lets out a shout
As his footy kicky bally!! GOaliiieee!!

Luis Suarez!

Kapow!

I'm not sing 'i'm Blue' in any language.

It's actually sky blue, not blue. There's no blue whatsoever in Uruguay's shirt (as a matter of fact, we had a red shirt as away kit for a number of years). That said, I can see your point...

If you want to turn it into a Liverpool chant that is still instantly identifiable by Suarez and Coates (and would win a few hearts and minds in Uruguay), you can go with this:

Soy del Rojo (I'm from the Red)
Soy del Rojo (I'm from the Red)
Del Rojo, soy yo (From the Red, I am)

or

Soy un Rojo (I'm a Red)
Soy un Rojo (I'm a Red)
Un Rojo, soy yo (A Red, I am)

Both of them rhyme very well in Spanish if you use the same tune.

I would not change the traditional Soy Celeste for Somos Celeste, as the idea of the chant is that the team and the fans are one, not many. I would also not go for Soy el Rojo (I'm the Red) over Soy un Rojo (I'm a Red). Both of them are a bit awkward and don't rhyme that well in Spanish.

What we really need is a boss scouse Suarez song.

It's Luis Suarez La.

I just think that using a Uruguay tune means we'll have less c*nts ripping off our songs.

There was Hey Jude that the commentator sang for Suarez though when he scored those 3/4 goals against Chile which was quite funny.

You can't complain about other team ripping 'Just Can't Get Enough' off when we stole it from Celtic in the first place.

We nick most of our songs, I know that, but the way just can't get enough went last season was ridiculous. We nicked the Torres song, best midfield in the world, etc etc, but you didn't see every team in the country singing them.

This one imo is the one that translates best without loosing it's essence.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather keep it about Suarez and the Uruguayan connection.

Reckon that the Kop singing a Suarez song with the Soy Celeste tune would make headlines in Uruguay, for sure, and win some hearts.

Does this make sense to you Uruguayanese? I think it needs to be about Suarez. Short, catchy, easy to pick up and able to repeat for a long time!

This is the only one that doesn't sound a bit weird/cumbersome in Spanish.
