Destiny then worked its wonders once again and a copy of “Eusebio” found its way into the hands of Woody Allen who, won over by the music of Giulia y Los Tellarini, decided to include it in the soundtrack of “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”, which he was filming in Barcelona at that time. In fact it is the song titled “Barcelona” that he chose to be the film’s main theme, whilst another track, “La Ley Del Retiro”, was also picked to feature.
Now the group are finalizing the launch of the album on La Colazione – their own label, created as a joint initiative of MaikMaier studio and the Sones cooperative – and preparing for the live shows that will accompany the presentation of “Eusebio”.
And just who is Eusebio? Eusebi is retired by trade, but an artist at heart. An endearing elderly resident of the neighbourhood of Gracia, in Barcelona, he can easily be found in the cafés and squares of the area, drawing portraits of all those who are willing to offer themselves as subjects. His unique style has always fascinated the members of the group so they decided to collect his portraits, one of each of the musicians who make up Giulia y Los Tellarini, and include them in the booklet that will accompany the CD. There is also a documentary about Eusebi for those who’d like to get to know him better: www.untaleusebi.com

Giulia y Los Tellarini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tanto buscarse
Sin encontrarse
Me encierran los muros
De todas partes
Barcelona
Te estás equivocando
No puedes seguir inventando
Y volar como mariposa
Barcelona
Hace un calor que me deja
Fría por dentro
Con este vicio
De vivir mintiendo
Qué bonito sería tu mar
Si supiera yo nadar
Barcelona
Mi mente tan llena
De cara de gente extranjera,
Conocida, desconocida
He vuelto a ser transparente
No existo más
Barcelona
Siendo esposa de tus ruidos
Tu laberinto extrovertido
No he encontrado la razón
Porque me duele el corazón
Porque es tan fuerte
Que solo podré vivirte
En la distancia
Y escribirte
Una canción
Te quiero Barcelona
Ella tiene el poder
Ella tiene el poder
Barcelona es poderosa
The lyrics to Giulia y Los Tellarini's song "Barcelona" are a reflection on a chaotic and confusing experience in the city of Barcelona. The singer questions why we spend so much time looking for something that we never seem to find. The city's walls seem to enclose her on all sides, and the heat is suffocating. The singer understands that Barcelona has a habit of reinventing itself, but she cannot keep up with the city's constant change. The singer longs to be able to swim in the beautiful sea of Barcelona but is unable to navigate it. There is a sense of loneliness as the singer feels surrounded by unfamiliar people but cannot connect with any of them. She feels like she is disappearing in the chaos of the city.

Lyrics
What's the need of losing each other so much,
of looking for each other so much, if we never meet.
The walls everywhere are imprisoning me,
Barcelona.
You are making a mistake,
you can't keep pretending
that this world is something else,
and then go flying like a butterfly,
Barcelona.
It's so hot here
that it makes me cold inside,
with this vice of living your life lying.
How pretty would be your sea
if I could swim,
Barcelona.
My head is full
of foreigner's faces.
Known people, unknown people,
I've become transparent again,
I don't exist anymore,
Barcelona.
I am wife of your noises,
of your extrovert labyrinth.
I can't find out why
my heart aches so much.
Because this is so strong
that I could only live you
from afar, and then write
a song for you.
I love you, Barcelona.
She's got the power,
Barcelona is mighty.

Por qué tanto perderse
tanto buscarse, sin encontrarse.
Me encierran los muros de todas partes.
Barcelona
Te estás equivocando
no puedes seguir inventando
que el mundo sea otra cosa
y volar como mariposa.
Barcelona
Hace un calor que me deja
fría por dentro
con este vicio de vivir mintiendo
que bonito sería tu mar
si supiera yo nadar.
Barcelona
Mi mente tan llena
de cara de gente extranjera,
conocida, desconocida
he vuelto a ser transparente.
No existo más.
Barcelona
Siendo esposa de tus ruidos
tu laberinto extrovertido
no he encontrado la razón
por qué me duele el corazón
Porque es tan fuerte
que solo podré vivirte
en la distancia y escribirte
una canción.
Te quiero, Barcelona
Ella tiene el poder.
Barcelona es poderosa.
