Cristian Romero chant: lyrics, tune and story behind Tottenham defender song

Cristian Romero's chant has become one of the most recognisable terrace songs at Tottenham Hotspur.

Sung proudly by Spurs supporters, it celebrates the fierce Argentine defender who embodies grit and leadership at the heart of Tottenham's defence.

Today, the Cristian Romero chant has become a defining sound of Tottenham Hotspur's modern matchday atmosphere. Emerging from the stands as soon as the Argentine defender joined the club, the chant mirrors Romero's combative style and connection with fans.

Cristian Romero chant lyrics and tune

The Cristian Romero chant, delivered in a bold call-and-response rhythm, borrows loosely from classic British terrace styles rather than a single pop tune, resembling the energetic repetition often heard in some of the best football chants around Europe.

It follows the popular trend of adopting simple, percussive melodies that allow entire sections of supporters to join in easily.

The tone is loud, passionate, and slightly intimidating, an echo of Romero's own-field persona. Supporters credit it as one of the loudest during home games, especially when Tottenham takes control of a match or after a big defensive tackle.

Below are the Romero's chant lyrics:

Who's that boy from Argentina? (Romero!)

He's hard as nails, he is f*in' scary (Romero!)

And when he plays, he makes 'em shiver

(Romero!)

Cristian Romero, he's our defender!

Romero! (Romero!)

Romero! (Romero!)

Cristian Romero, he's our defender!

Origin of Cristian Romero chant

Like many modern fan songs, the Cristian Romero chant spreads through videos, matchday clips, and social media. It began to take shape soon after he joined Tottenham in 2021.

Recordings of the chant began appearing on social media and fan forums around 2022, spreading quickly among Tottenham supporters at both home and away matches.

Its direct, no-frills tone fits well within the culture of English football chants: bold, loyal, and built for nouse.
