National Anthem of Catalonia A CAPPELLA (English subtitiles)

Demonstration in Barcelona before the non-official independence referendum (Nov. 9th 2014), in which the Catalans demanded the right to self-determination and a political unity in order to achieve it. Catalonia wants to be an independent country! This is Els Segadors (The Reapers), Catalonia's National Anthem (song originally from 1640), sung a cappella in Barcelona. LYRYCS BELOW:

The Reapers (English translation):

Catalonia triumphant
shall again be rich and bountiful.
Drive away these people,
Who are so conceited and so contemptful.

Chorus:
Strike with your sickle!
Strike with your sickle, defenders of the land!
Strike with your sickle!

Now is the time, reapers.
Now is the time to stand alert.
For when another June comes,
Let us sharpen our tools well.

Chorus

May the enemy tremble,
upon seeing our symbol.
Just as we cut golden ears of wheat,
when the time calls we cut off chains.

Chorus

----------------------------

Els Segadors (original Catalan):

Catalunya triomfant,
tornarà a ser rica i plena.
Endarrera aquesta gent
tan ufana i tan superba.

Tornada:
Bon cop de falç!
Bon cop de falç, defensors de la terra!
Bon cop de falç!

Ara és hora, segadors.
Ara és hora d'estar alerta.
Per quan vingui un altre juny,
esmolem ben bé les eines.

Tornada

Que tremoli l'enemic,
en veient la nostra ensenya.
Com fem caure espigues d'or,
quan convé seguem cadenes.

Tornada
