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.

La Vall D'Artigues
Gossos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Al fons d′una vall
On la gent
Sap viure en pau
S'aixequen al matí
A veure sortir el sol
I donen gràcies al dia
I en a arribar la nit
Abans d′anar a dormir
Donen gràcies a la vida
Per alló que els ha donat
I els nens, son essers especials
Tenen les claus
I si vols t'obren el paradis
Que es guarden dins
Han après
Que no estan sols
Formen part
Part d'un sol cos
Que val la pena descobrir
Que val la pena assaborir
Les coses més senzilles
Que fan dolls el caminar
I no els fa por morir
Forma part del seu camí
Com una nova pàgina
Per escriure el seu demà
I els nens, son essers especials
Tenen les claus
I si vols t′obren el paradis
Que es guarden dins
Han après a cultivar
De fer tots els seus camps
I demanen a la lluna
Que acompanyi el seu sembrat
I han après a interpretar
Com és millor avançar
I uneixen els seus ritmes
En un sol bategar
I els nens, son essers especials
Tenen les claus
I si vols t′obren el paradis
Que es guarden dins
I els nens, son essers especials
Tenen les claus
I si vols t'obren el paradis
Que es guarden dins
I els nens, son essers especials
Tenen les claus
I si vols t′obren el paradis
Que es guarden dins
The lyrics of the song La Vall D'Artigues by Gossos celebrate a special place nestled in a valley. It's a place where people know how to live in peace and harmony with nature. They start their day by watching the sunrise and expressing gratitude for the new day. Similarly, at the end of the day, they thank life for what it has given to them. Children are portrayed as special beings who hold the keys to a paradise within themselves. They have learned to cultivate their fields and understand that they are part of a greater whole.
The song emphasizes the importance of simplicity and how it's worth discovering and experiencing the most basic things in life because they enrich our journey. The people who live in this place are not afraid of dying as they see it as a natural part of life, like turning to a new page to continue writing their story. Finally, the children are depicted as special beings who have learned to cultivate their fields, interpret nature's signs, and join hands to create a harmonious society.
