They are one of the most successful representatives of the "Rock Català" movement in the 2000s. Earlier in their career, they were characterized by their acoustics style -- just using guitars and bass, no percussion -- until 2002 when they added drums.

In summer 1993, Oriol Farré, Juanjo Muñoz, Natxo Tarrés and Roger Farré from Manresa, joined together to start a new band. They won an award with their first record "Gossos" (1994). After a few tours in Catalonia they edited their 2nd record "En privat" in 1996. Followed by "Mandala" (1997) and "Directament" (1998, recorded in the "Teatre Conservatori" of Manresa) with the collaboration of other consolidated members of the Catalan Rock like Cris Juanico, Gerard Quintana and Pemi Fortuny. In 2000 they recorded "De viaje", their only album in Castillian so far, followed by "Cares" (2001).

In 2002 they move away from their acoustical style to start using electric guitars and drums. Their latest albums recorded are "El Jardí del Temps" (2003), "8" (2005) and Oxygen (2007).

El Sol Es Pon
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quan em desperti et vindré a buscar,
La nit s'està fent molt llarga
Però et vindré a buscar.

Espero que m'esperis, començo a caminar,
S'ajunten les coincidències,
En fila estan esperant
Per si de cas, oblido el que crec saber.

Si el Sol es pon i no torna a sortir,
Els teus ulls brillaran per mi.

Els carrers sembln deserts,
Només la nit a la ciutat
Les meves pors m'acompanyen,
Els meus dubtes van de la mà
I discuteixen.

Si el Sol es pon i no toma a sortir,
Els teus ulls brillaran per mi.
La nit no ho posa fàcil, vull arribar
Abans que el Sol s'adormi
Sobre el mar jo et vindré a buscar.

Si el Sol es pon i no torna a sortir,
Els teus ulls brillaran per mi.

Si el Sol es pon i no torna a sortir,
La Lluna m'il·luminarà el cami.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gossos's song El Sol Es Pon speak of a person who is waiting for someone they love. The first part of the song talks about the singer waking up and coming to find the person they love. The night is getting longer, but they promise to come even if it takes time. The singer hopes that the person they love will wait for them too because they are starting to walk towards them. The singer believes in coincidences and the idea that things happen for a reason. They are afraid that they might forget what they know about love, and they want to make sure that they get to the person they love before that happens.

The next part of the song describes the city at night. The streets are deserted, and the only thing around is the night. The singer's fears of not finding their loved one show up and mix with their doubts about the person's feelings. The singer debates with themselves trying to figure out the meaning of the other person's actions. The song repeats the chorus, where it says that if the sun sets and doesn't come up again, the person they love's eyes will shine for them. The singer is aware of the time and wants to hurry to get to the person before it is too late, and the sun goes down. If they don't make it, the moon will light their way.
