Lyrics for Mi Cajón
Que alegría,
Que alegría,
Ole, ole, ola,
Vamos River todavía, Que esta para ganar,
Todos de la cabeza, Haciendo descontrol,
Solo te pido River,
Que vos salgas campeón.
El día que me muera,
Yo quiero mi cajón,
Pintado rojo y blanco,
Como mi corazón...
(Se Repite...)
Read it in English
What a joy,
What a joy,
Ole, ole, ola,
Come on River,
You are ready to win,
All out of our minds, Doing a disorder,
I only pray you,
That you have to be champion.
The day I die,
I want my coffin,
Painted red and white,
Like my heart...
(Repeated...)

Behind the chant
What's the story behind Mi Cajón?
Red and white are River's colours, carried in the red sash across the shirt; that's why the fan asks for a coffin painted in them.
