Batiste Ceba
La Gossa Sorda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i allà va batiste ceba,
dos casalles dins del cos,
l'aixada al coll camí de l'horta.
Avuí tot es diferent se'n adona Batiste Ceba,
excavadores i ciments
li estan destrossant la terra.
Conta el tio Batiste de quan era xicotet
que son pare li ensenyava a llaurar bé,
que cada dia d'estiu
cremant-li el Sol al llom
que com l'han fet patir sempre eixos cabrons.
Volen fer una carretera i li tombaran sa casa,
l'alqueria més bonica de tota la comarca.
Ja no beurà aigua del pou ni podrà collir tomaques,
li estan furtant la vida els fills dels camises blaves.
Conta el tio Batiste de quan era xicotet
que son pare li ensenyava a llaurar bé,
que cada dia d'estiu
cremant-li el Sol al llom
que com l'han fet patir sempre eixos cabrons.
sempre!
Conta el tio Batiste de quan era xicotet
que son pare li ensenyava a llaurar bé,
que cada dia d'estiu
cremant-li el Sol al llom
que com l'han fet patir sempre eixos cabrons.
Encara no son deu i el sol ja crema,
Encara no son deu i el sol ja crema, crema
Encara no son deu i el sol ja crema
Encara no son deu i el sol ja crema, crema,
i el sol ja crema.
El meu xiquet es l'amo
del corral i del carrer,
de la figuera i la parra,
de la flor del taronger.

The song "Batiste Ceba" by La Gossa Sorda tells the story of a man named Batiste Ceba who is witnessing the destruction of his land and home by excavators and construction workers for the building of a new road. The lyrics describe Batiste's memories of his father teaching him how to farm the land, and the struggles he has faced throughout his life due to the mistreatment and disregard for the farmers and rural communities by those in power. The chorus chants Batiste's name, as if to rally around him and his cause against the destruction of his livelihood.
The lyrics highlight a common theme in protest songs of social and environmental injustice. The song depicts the struggle of rural communities against the powerful and oppressive forces that exploit their land and resources for profit. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for solidarity and collective resistance in the face of such injustice.
