Boca Juniors's march song originated in 1926, a creation of Victoriano "Toto" Caffarena, the only fan who took part in Boca's memorable tour in 1925. Caffarena asked Italo Goyeche for a hymn to Boca Juniors and thus it was composed. The march's sounds were heard for the first time in Caffarena's own house, played by one of his sisters on her piano. The next step was to add a text to the hymn and this was what writer J. Fernández Blanco did. The first public performance took place in 1928 in a restaurant in the Boca district, after a match between Boca and the British team Motherwell.

What follows is a paraphrase of the hymn's text. This text has actually the rhymes of a poem, which are hard to reproduce in a translation, like those of any other poem. So here the poem has been converted to a piece of prose.
