Enrique Pareja, I speak Castilian Spanish... with a Madrid accent?
Updated Oct 23, 2014
"Hala Madrid" is difficult to translate exactly. It means something like "Go, Madrid!", "Forward, Madrid!"...
The Spanish word "hala" has an Arab origin, I've been told that in Arab it is also more or less equivalent to "let's go!", "come on!" or "hurry up!". If so (.... I can't say for sure, as I don't speak Arab) its meaning hasn't really changed much in the Spanish version ;-)
