From way back in prehistory
we had some ancestors
that covered us in glory
fully-painted portraits.
Placed inside a cave
come to mark up the walls!
They haven't got fire or clothes
They're freezing cold.
All this happened before we were Catalans
and in the woods and meadows few people were seen
The sea was more blue.
the broom smelled and still television
wasn't spoken of.
With four old boats they come from out at sea
towards the Empordà
They are like wildcats, all bargaining the prices
they also make sculptures for our museums
All of this happened before we were Catalans
and in the woods and the meadows few people were seen
The sea was more blue
the broom smelled and still
television was not spoken of.
After a short while the Romans showed up
and in the fields of Tarragona they make a city
They invent rules for everything
and we all speak in Latin
which will change for centuries the way things are said around here
All of this happened before we were Catalans.
and in the woods and the meadows few people were seen
The sea was more blue,
The broom smelled
and still television was not spoken of.
Of those ancient people, I will tell you what has remained of them
the instinct of the shop and paying in cash
and a child of fantasy and the passion of will
to set our own path with our heads held high
All of this happened before we were Catalans
and in the woods and meadows few were seen
The sea was more blue
the broom smelled
and still television was not spoken of.
