Solipsistic soliloquy
(Raimon)
if you say you can only be free,
if they don't notice that you exist,
will they understand you? Won't they understand you?
No, they won't.
I was talking to myself and I said:
if you say there are those who've resisted torture
and haven't resisted adulation,
will they understand you? Won't they understand you?
No, they won't.
I was talking to myself and I said:
if you say that love is always a huge
question that lovers feed by loving,
will they understand you? Won't they understand you?
No, they won't .
I was talking to myself and I said:
if you say you aren't envious of their security
and you aren't happy with your doubts,
will they understand you? Won't they understand you?
No, they won't.
I was talking to myself and I said:
if you say you aren't Folquet from Marseille
and that singing you remember
what singing you try to forget,
will they understand you ? Won't they understand you?
No, they won't.
I was talking to myself and I said:
if you say you aren't a flatterer, or a predator,
or competitive, or a sportsman
and that you don't know how to live
in the Hispano-Catalan city where you live,
will they understand you? Won't they understand you?
No, they won't.
Talking to myself I've come to an agreement,
provisionally, and I said:
it's better to be misunderstood
than to keep silent.
Will they understand you? Won't they understand you?
No, they won't.

El Covard (El cobarde) es el décimo disco publicado por el cantautor catalán Josep Andújar “Sé”. Incluye una habanera titulada Onades dins del cor (Olas en el corazón), escrita por el autor con música de Llorenç Fernández, canción que encarna la esencia de este nuevo trabajo realizado por un artista ligado a sus orígenes, al mar Mediterráneo, a la “Cançó de taverna” y marinera, a una cultura de tierra y mar que tras sus muchos años de oficio sigue aflorando en todas sus composiciones.
El cantaor Miguel Poveda conmemora las dos décadas de su homenaje a la poesía catalana con una nueva grabación junto a la Cobla La Principal del Llobregat, sobre un poema de Joana Raspall y música propia.
Oro irlandés, el nuevo single Miguel Ríos, evoca un amor de juventud y sirve como anticipo de su próxima gira El último vals, que recorrerá los principales teatros de España entre 2025 y 2026
Tres años después de su retiro oficial de los escenarios, el cantautor catalán Joan Manuel Serrat volverá a cantar en directo en una gala solidaria organizada por la Fundación Clarós, dedicada a brindar asistencia médica a niños con problemas de audición y malformaciones faciales. El evento tendrá lugar en el Teatre Principal de Maó, Menorca (Baleares).
El músico argentino Charly García y el exlíder de The Police Sting anticipan el lanzamiento de una canción conjunta para octubre de 2025, más de tres décadas después de haber compartido escenario en la gira "Derechos Humanos Ya".
