A
Charolastra, according to
Y tu mamá también, is a sort of
space cowboy. In the film, Diego "Saba"
Madero invents the name from a misheard song lyric, and develops a
clique around it, including the two male leads: Tenoch
Iturbide and Julio
Zapata.
The Charolastras have a manifesto that details their motivations.
In the original Spanish:
- No hay honor más grande que ser un Charolastra.
- Cada quién hace de su culo un papalote.
- Pop mata poesía.
- Un toque al día, la llave de la alegría.
- No te tirarás a la vieja de otro Charolastra.
- Puto el que le vaya al América.
- Que muera la moral! Que viva la chaqueta!
- Prohibido casarse con una virgen.
- Puto el que la vaya al América.
- La neta es chida pero inalcanzable.
- Pierde la calidad de Charolastra el culero que rompa cualquiera de los puntos anteriores.
And in approximate English translation:
- There is no greater honor than being a Charolastra.
- Everyone can do what he wants with his life.
- Pop kills poetry.
- To smoke marijuana once a day, is the key to happiness.
- You won't sleep with another Charolastra's girlfriend.
- You are a faggot if the América is your favorite soccer team.
- Fuck the moral! Masturbation rules!
- You cannot marry a virgin.
- You are a faggot if the América is your favorite soccer team.
- The truth is fantastic, but unattainable
.
- Any fucker that breaks any of these points loses the qualities of a Charolastra.
