Cant del Barça is the official hymn of FC Barcelona. It was commissioned in 1974 to celebrate the clubs 75th anniversary. The words were written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs and the music was composed by Manuel Valls.

The hymn was given its official debut on 27 November 1974 at the Camp Nou before a game between FC Barcelona and East Germany. A 3,500 strong choir was conducted by Oriol Martorell. On 28 November 1998, during the clubs’ Centenary, it was performed by Catalan singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat at the end of a festival at the Camp Nou. Since 2008-09 el Cant del Barça has been printed on official Barcelona replica jerseys.

[edit] Lyrics

Tot el camp
És un clam
Som la gent blaugrana
Tant se val d'on venim
Si del sud o del nord
Ara estem d'acord estem d'acord
Una bandera ens agermana.

Blaugrana al vent
Un crit valent
Tenim un nom que el sap tothom
Barça, Barça, Barça !

Jugadors
Seguidors
Tots units fem força
Són molts anys plens d'afanys
Són molts gols que hem cridat.
I s'ha demostrat s'ha demostrat
Que mai ningú no ens podrà tòrcer.

Blaugrana al vent
Un crit valent
Tenim un nom que el sap tothom
Barça, Barça, Barça !

[edit] English Translation

The whole stadium
loudly cheers
We’re the blue and maroon supporters
It matters not where we hail from
Whether it's the south or the north
Now we all agree, we all agree,
One flag unites us in brotherhood.

Blue and maroon blowing in the wind
One valiant cry
We’ve got a name that everyone knows:
Barça, Barça, Baaarça!

Players, Supporters
United we are strong.
We’ve achieved much over the years,
We’ve shouted many goals
And we have shown, we have shown,
That no one can ever break us.

Blue and maroon blowing in the wind
One valiant cry
We’ve got a name that everyone knows:
Barça, Barça, Baaarça!
