I've been listening to this song a lot recently, so here's the translation. I've posted The Tyets before, they're an urban music band from Catalonia. Usually they make fun songs with lots of jokes and double meanings, but this time it's different, this is a very sweet song for their niece.

Here's the lyrics and the translation:

I en aquel festival que tant ens agrada Dels que tenen food trucks amb llumetes penjades Que organitza el cunyat i ens regala entrades Que hi toca Pau Vallvé i propostes rares Va i me germana d'imprevista Treu un sobret amb una pista Un dibuixet que ens fa ser avis i tiets

And in that festival that we like so much One of those with food trucks and hanging lightbulbs That our brother-in-law organizes and gives us tickets Because Pau Vallbé and weird proposals are playing My sister comes and, all of a sudden, Takes out a little envelop with a clue A little drawing that makes us grandparents and uncles

I ens vam pasar el concert plorant, Olívia Quin moment tan bonic i estrany Olívia Pensava que es casaven va i ens diuen Que serem una més de la família (×2)

And we spent the concert crying, Olívia What a beautiful and strange moment, Olívia We thought they were getting married and they go and say That we'll be one more in our family (×2)

I just el mateix any que va marxar l'avi Surt una panxeta i els papes són avis D'això va la vida, tot és momentani Gaudeix de cada dia que va massa ràpid I no sé com ets, Olívia Però ja t'estimem una mica Jo que he vist la Clara de petita I apareixes tu

And precisely the same year that grandpa left A little tummy appears and our parents are grandparents This is what life is about, everything is momentary Enjoy every day, because it goes by too quickly And I don't know what you're like, Olívia But we already love you a little I saw Clara as a child And now you show up

I ens vam pasar el concert plorant, Olívia Quin moment tan bonic i estrany Olívia Pensava que es casaven va i ens diuen Que serem una més de la família (×2)

And we spent the concert crying, Olívia What a beautiful and strange moment, Olívia We thought they were getting married and they go and say That we'll be one more in our family (×2)

I a sobre va tocar Bugambílies I jo em sentia el protagonista Avui l'únic que vull és veure't Olívia Sempre seràs la gran de la nova família Va i me germana d'imprevista Treu un sobret amb una pista Un dibuixet que ens fa ser avis i tiets

And on top of it, he [Pau Vallvé] played [his song] Bugambílies And I felt like the main character Today the only thing I want is to see you, Olívia You'll always be the eldest of the new family My sister comes and, all of a sudden, Takes out a little envelop with a clue A little drawing that makes us grandparents and uncles

I ens vam pasar el concert plorant, Olívia Quin moment tan bonic i estrany Olívia Pensava que es casaven va i ens diuen Que serem una més de la família

And we spent the concert crying, Olívia What a beautiful and strange moment, Olívia We thought they were getting married and they go and say That we'll be one more in our family (×2)

Feina ideal: la gent que va fent "prrrrrr!" "skeeeee" i sorollets varis pel darrere de les cançons de The Tyets

This song has become very popular in Catalonia. I hadn't translated it before because its lyrics are full of jokes and colloquialisms so it's difficult to translate, but I really wanted to share it.

The Tyets is a Catalan band that makes trap and reggaeton-ish music, but in this song they've incorporated a cobla (traditional ensemble of sardanes, considered the national music/dance of Catalonia) to their urban song. You can hear the characteristic instruments and beat of the sardana in the chorus.

It's quite common among Catalan pop and rock bands to use traditional instruments (mostly the gralla/dolçaina) and some traditional forms of singing (mostly cant valencià d'estil), but sardanes had so far been left out of this because they're often negatively stereotyped as old-fashioned and its popularity among elderly people made it unappealing to the younger generations. However, turns out the familiarity of these sounds still rings close to our hearts, and people (regardless of age) can't help it but to dance when they hear it!

The translation is under the cut.

The band The Tyets usually makes trap or urban music, but in this song they have teamed up with Los Manolos to make a rumba catalana. Give it a listen and it will cheer you up!

Here’s the original lyrics in Catalan and translation to English, so you can sing alone and know what it means.

As a note, “Bar Manolo” is the most stereotypical name for a pub, one that isn’t conceited and that you can find in most cities and towns.

Arriba en Manel i ens obra el bar, (hola, compare!) diu que la nit se li ha fet llarga, que arriba tard però tancarà, tant tard com li doni la gana, que avui és divendres Sant...

Manel comes and opens the pub, (hello, mate!) he says the night caught him for longer than expected, that he’s late but he’ll close as late as he feels like, for today is Holy Friday...

I alegria que és festa cada dia que al Bar Manolo hi ha cervesa per tothom alegria i respira la frescor de cada dia el Bar Manolo “looks like” festa major. (x2)

Happiness, for every day is a party in the Pub Manolo there’s beer for everyone. Happiness and breathe in every day’s freshness The Pub Manolo looks like “festa major” [local festivity].

I déu els cria, i s’han ajuntat (ei, Ramon! ei, compare!) no sé ni com ens hem trobat i déu els cria i s’han ajuntat passegem pikete blindat, la gent ens mira

And god raises them, and they came together [idiom that means that similar people find each other] (hey, Ramon! hey, buddy) I don’t even know how we found each other and god raises them, and they came together we take a walk with our bulletproof swag, people look at us

I estic content, que avui he reunit als nens i estic content la vida passa i no la sents la vida baixa i va corrents lleva’t d’hora i renta’t les dents que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom i em fas content (alça!)

And I’m happy, 'cause today I’ve brought “the kids” together [his friends] and I’m happy life passes by and you don’t hear it life comes down and runs wake up early and brush your teeth for when you’re here everyone smiles and you make me happy (come on!)

Alegria que és festa cada dia que al bar manolo hi ha cervesa per tothom alegria i respira la frescor de cada dia el bar manolo looks like festa major (x2)

Happiness, for every day is a party in the Pub Manolo there’s beer for everyone happiness and breathe in everyday’s freshness in the Pub Manolo it looks like “festa major”.

Que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom, vine a la festa i treu-te la son! que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom al Bar Manolo rei de l’amor Que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom, mira t’estimo, ai de corazón que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom, que treu la guitarra, que treu la guitarra

‘Cause when you’re there, everyone smiles come to the party and liven up! [lit., “take the sleepiness out of you”] ‘cause when you’re here, everyone smiles in Pub Manolo, king of love ‘cause... look, I love you, "ay de corazón” (from the bottom of my heart) ‘cause... he’s bringing out his guitar!

Que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom, balla la rumba, fins que surti el sol Que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom, vine a Mataró! Que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom, no, no, no, no les palmes les toco jo! Que quan hi ets tu somriu tothom...

‘Cause... dance the rumba until the sun rises ‘cause... come to Mataró! [the city where the band is from] ‘cause... no, no, no, no, I’m the one who claps the hands ‘cause...

Alegria que és festa cada dia que és festa cada dia que és festa per tothom Alegria i respira la frescor de cada dia el bar manolo barra lliure per tothom!

Happiness, that every day is a party that every day is a party it’s a party for everyone Happiness and breathe in every day’s freshness in Pub Manolo, open bar for everyone!
