This is sardana, a type of music and dance from Catalonia often considered Catalonia's national dance.

The music for the sardanes is always played by a cobla, a specific music ensamble consisting of 11 musicians playing 12 instruments with a predominance of wind instruments.

There are many songs of the sardana genre, all of which share the same beat. For this reason, the same handful of dance steps can be used for all songs. The dance is easy on purpose, so that everyone can join. It consists of two basic steps called the “short step” and the “long step”, and it’s always danced in circle holding hands.

The circle represents friendship, harmony, fraternity and solidarity among everyone who joins to hold hands.

In the late 19th century, authorities (government and religious) condemned the sardana for being immoral because it meant that men and women who aren’t relatives were holding hands, but it was too popular to control it. During Franco’s fascist dictatorship of Spain (1939-1978), some sardana songs were banned because they were considered too Catalan (one of the pillars of Spanish fascism was/is Catalanophobia, the dictatorship wanted to exterminate the Catalan language, culture, and identity and impose the Spanish one instead).

But sardanes kept being danced through all of it and nowadays you can still find that a cobla plays in most towns during its local festivities, and everyone can join and dance. Though in most of Catalonia this dance is now associated with elderly people, in the Comarques Gironines it's particularly beloved. In the Empordà area, you can often find it in summer evenings.

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 lyrics are light-hearted and use a lot of colloquialisms and slang, they joke about gossiping. The title (coti x coti) would be translated to "gossip 4 gossip", but using a slang word for "gossip".

No ho puc evitar, ja no sé com fer-ho

M'ha arribat a les mans, un coti ben salsero

Que ha mogut tot el mercat, no me'l puc treure del cap

Si vols aquest secret, doncs per tres l'has de canviar.

I can't help it, I don't know how to keep it anymore

A very juicy gossip has reached my hands

It has shaken all the market, I can't get it out of my head

If you want this secret, you'll have to exchange it for three others.

Chorus:

No en vull saber res

Intento no creuar-te la mirada

No em crec històries inventades

De tu ja no em puc creure res.

I don't want to know anything about it.

I try not to make eye contact with you

I don't believe made up stories

I can't believe anything you say anymore.

-

Ahir em vaig trobar l'Aleix i em va dir que tenia cotis

Posseïa info, tenia bones refes

No sabia perquè, però s'ajuntaven les notis

El mercat está palmant i tu estàs holding

Yesterday I ran into Aleix and he told me that he had gossip

That he owned info, he had good references

He didn't know why, but news were stocking up

The market is croaking and you're holding.

Tira la manta, peli de terror

No vulguis correr a la sort del traïdor

I esque et miro davant de la platja i em dius que no, que no

Throw the blanket, horror movie

You better not want to run a traitor's end

And I look at you in front of the beach and you tell me no, no.

Que no ho pots evitar, ja no saps com fer-ho

T'ha arribat a les mans, un coti ben salsero

Que ha mogut tot el mercat, no te'l pots treure del cap

Si vols aquest secret, per tres l'hauràs de canviar

That you can't help it, you don't know how to keep doing it

A very juicy gossip has reached you

Which has shaken all the market, you can't get it out of your head

If you want this secret, you'll have to exchange it for three others.

Repeat chorus.

VISCA!

Hurray! (Note: sardana dances end by all the dancers holding their hands to the middle and shouting "visca!" together)
