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).

Vestit de melmelada
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cada matí sembla una nit,
Sento que el temps passa i tu no ets amb mi.
Cansat de jugar, tot sol amb la mà,
Malgastant vides que tu no voldràs.
No em vas triar, te'n vas voler anar,
Em vas deixar sol amb la nit al costat
I ara somicant davant del mirall
M'has trencat el cor i te'n vas.(BIS)

Tenies els teus llavis morts,
I jo no hi podia fer res.
Qui sap si jo et puc donar sort
Treiem-nos de sobre aquest fred.
Potser demà, tot canviarà,
Despertaràs del teu somni daurat.
Potser demà, l'estel fugaç
Et dirà que has de fer amb el passat.

No t'embrutis el vestit, de melmelada
No t'embrutis el vestit, nena embruixada.

Potser demà, tot canviarà,
Despertaràs del teu somni daurat.
Potser demà, l'estel fugaç
Et dirà que has de fer amb el passat.

No t'embrutis el vestit, de melmelada
No t'embrutis el vestit, nena embruixada.(BIS)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gossos's song Vestit de melmelada talk about the pain and heartbreak of being left behind by someone you loved. The singer of the song is feeling lost and alone, as if time has stopped for him while the world keeps moving on. He's tired of playing alone and wasting his life waiting for someone who left him in the night. He's left dreaming in front of the mirror, with a broken heart and a longing for the past.

The chorus of the song, "Potser demà tot canviarà" (Maybe tomorrow everything will change), suggests that there's still hope for a better future. The singer wants to believe that the person who left him will appear again, with a chance to start over and forget the past. He hopes that tomorrow will be the day when everything changes and he can finally move on.

The title of the song, Vestit de melmelada (Jam-covered dress), is a metaphor for the idea of not getting messy with the past. The singer is urging the person who left him not to get her dress covered in sticky jam, implying that she should leave behind the pain and heartbreak, and move on without looking back.

Cada matí sembla una nit,
Every morning feels like night,

Sento que el temps passa i tu no ets amb mi.
I feel the time passing and you're not with me,

Cansat de jugar, tot sol amb la mà,
Tired of playing alone with my hand,

Malgastant vides que tu no voldràs.
Wasting lives that you won't want,

No em vas triar, te'n vas voler anar,
You didn't choose me, you wanted to go,

Em vas deixar sol amb la nit al costat
You left me alone with the night by my side,

I ara somicant davant del mirall
And now daydreaming in front of the mirror,

M'has trencat el cor i te'n vas.(BIS)
You broke my heart and left. (CHORUS)

Tenies els teus llavis morts,
You had your dead lips,

I jo no hi podia fer res.
And I couldn't do anything about it,

Qui sap si jo et puc donar sort
Who knows if I can give you luck,
