It was formed in Valladolid (Castilla y León) in 1986. Eight friends, four of which played in the group Almenara decided to participate in a music contest under the name "Colectivo Eurofolk". They won the first prize and continued to play together changing their name to Celtas Cortos.
They won another contest in April 1987, the prize was the production of an album. They shared the prize with two other winners, so they contributed three songs to the album Así es como suena: Folk joven.
Executive producer Paco Martín helped them get out their first album, Salida de emergencia, with only instrumental songs. The next album, Gente Impresentable added the voice and the lyrics of Jesús H. Cifuentes (Cifu) to the powerful instruments. Their celtic rock style was combined with protest and other more melancholic lyrics. Through the years their music mixed with different styles such as Caribbean music, flamenco, electronic music or reggae. Their list of hits include 20 de Abril, La senda del tiempo or Tranquilo Majete.
In 2002 Cifu left the group, a definitive turning point after the departure of César Cuenca and Nacho Martín. In the beginning of 2006 Cifu comes back to the group to prepare their next release, 20 years after their foundation.
Emocion
Celtas Cortos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te has rendido antes de empezar
Si no buscas, no vas a encontrar
Si lo quieres, puede ser verdad
Qué aburrido no ver más allá
Si no hay magia sólo hay falsedad
Tú decides si vas a escapar
Emoción, para ser mejor
Emoción, para el R&R
Emoción, amor, corazón
Emoción, para la emoción
Si no le echas leña a una canción
Si ves a la vida desde tu sillón
Si no das un trago de tu corazón
Si esperas sentado a que salga el sol
Y si no sales nunca a la calle
Verás tu vida en la televisión
Altera el rumbo de tu viaje
Y encontrarás un poco de emoción
The lyrics of "Emoción" by Celtas Cortos talk about how many people give up before even trying and how boring it is to only see what's on the surface without looking for deeper meaning or magic. The song encourages listeners to search for emotion in their lives, to not let the monotony of routine and societal expectations take over. The chorus emphasizes the importance of emotion and passion, that without it, life loses its meaning.
The song highlights the idea that everyone has their own truth and that it's up to the individual to decide whether they want to make the effort to find it or not. It encourages listeners to take control of their life and not just let it pass them by. The song advises taking risks, finding new experiences, and not being content just watching others live their lives. The overall message of the song is to search for and embrace emotion and passion in all aspects of life.
