They belong to a generation who has lived through the ascent of the mestizaje in the international panorama and have grown up with the return of the Catalan rumba to the musical youth panorama. The members of the group have been greatly influenced by the environment of Barcelona's Gothic neighborhood, which, even being born in Montcada i Reixac, they represent many styles. They mix Spanish, Catalan and Galician in their songs and in some cases, dare with other languages such as English or French.
La Pegatina is a group with a vocation of playing live. They embody a non-pretentious style, focused directly on the public. A fundamentally urban group, some of their best performances have been in squares, streets, suburban trains or buses, calling attention on people and making them dance and sing.
What do they play? Urban Rumba! Thats the kind of rumba that makes you move and ask for more, until you are too tired to walk... They are show-addicts, who play simple but direct music and words which are repeated and shouted by most of the public that see them. Days after seeing them live, you can discover yourself singing some of their rumbitas...
Their songs contain protest messages in defense of human rights, respect and against injustice, war and lies, using normally nearby examples to illustrate these universal values.
Their first CD " Al Carrer! " appeared in early 2007, after an intense autumn working in LLobregat's Sukhà de Hospitalet, where they combined the CD recording in the studio with last years performances. " Al Carrer! " consists of 13 songs played in "La Pegatina" pure style, including a genuine bonus track. The CD is full of important collaborations: Gambeat (Radio Bemba's bass) lends a hand for the entire CD, Leo and Kachafaz (Che Sudaka's members) contribute for "No a la guerra", Alguer (Txarangö) on "Penjat", Emma Calafell gives her voice for "Petrolero", and Manu Chao plays the guitar on "O Camareiro" (this song appeared on the "A Per Loca" compilation, but they rearranged it).
In conclusion, "La pegatina" means party, happiness, dancing and fun!
Mamma Mia
La Pegatina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un bacio ti darei Mamma mia, mamma mia
L'anima ti ruberó E una canzone d'amore al mattino ti canteró
Mamma mia, Valentina, dolce come sei Mamma mia
Valentina, un bacio ti darei Mamma mia, Valentina
Un sorriso ti ruberò E nel mio cuore sempre ti porterò
Mia musa, mia musa, angelo dell'amore Mia musa, mia musa
Del reame la piú bella Mia musa, mia musa, diavola del mio
Mamma mia, mamma mia, mi piaci a matina pinsari a tia mamma mia
Mamma mia, c'e' cu ti viri e poi s'arricria mamma mia
Mamma mia, mi pari lu sciatu ra vita mia ca qunnu
Mi cuccu la notti l'ultimu pinseri camina cu tia
The song "Mamma mia" by La Pegatina is a tribute to Valentina - a woman whom the singer loves dearly. The opening lines, "Mamma mia, mamma mia, ma chè bella sei Mamma mia, mamma mia" loosely translate to "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, how beautiful you are, oh my goodness". The singer is clearly in awe of Valentina's beauty and goes on to say that he wants to kiss her (Un bacio ti darei) and steal her soul (L'anima ti ruberó). He promises to sing a love song for her every morning.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that Valentina is his muse - the angel of love, the most beautiful of all the kingdom, and the devil of his heart in a good way. She is everything to him and he will carry her in his heart for all eternity.
The third verse is a bit harder to interpret because it is in a mix of Italian and Calabrian dialect. However, the singer seems to be saying that he thinks about Valentina all the time (mi piaci a matina pinsari a tia) and he gets happy when he sees her (c'e' cu ti viri e poi s'arricria). He then says that she is like the shadow of his life (mi pari lu sciatu ra vita mia) and that he thinks of her as he walks around at night (cu cuccu la notti l'ultimu pinseri camina cu tia).
Overall, "Mamma mia" is a beautiful and passionate song about love and admiration for a woman named Valentina.
