Trivia
Gremio's anthem is supposed to be the most interesting (artistically) among all Brazilian clubs because, except for the anthems of the clubs from Rio de Janeiro (all composed by Ary Barroso) it is the only football anthem composed by a renowned composer, Lupicínio Rodrigues. Featuring a vivid and playful melody, the anthem features a famous verses: Até a pé nós iremos / mas o certo é que nós estaremos / com o Grêmio onde o Grêmio estiver (Even on foot we shall go / but it is sure we will be / with Grêmio wherever it is). Gremio fans are very fond of their faith, even when the club is not doing well (like now, for instance) and boast that Grêmio, as the anthem hints, has never played without supporters anywhere in the world.
