The lyrics in Catalan
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 el sap tothom
BARÇA BARÇA BAAAAARÇA!
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 el sap tothom
BARÇA BARÇA BAAAAARÇA!
The lyrics in English (translation)
The whole stadium
Roars as one
We are the blaugrana supporters
No matter where we come from
Whether from the south or the north
Now we agree
We agree
One flag unites us
Blue and garnet in the wind
A courageous cry
We have a name that everyone knows
BARÇA BARÇA BAAAAARÇA!
Players
Supporters
Together we are strong
So many years filled with effort
So many goals we have cheered
And it has been shown, it has been shown
That no one will ever make us bow
Blue and garnet in the wind
A courageous cry
We have a name that everyone knows
BARÇA BARÇA BAAAAARÇA!

The History of the Cant del Barça
The current anthem was created in 1974 to mark the 75th anniversary of FC Barcelona. Josep Maria Espinàs and Jaume Picas wrote the lyrics, while Manuel Valls i Gorina composed the music.
Its first public performance took place on November 27, 1974. According to the club's official account, 3,600 singers, led by Oriol Martorell, introduced it from the pitch. Its rhythm, which invites applause, helps make it an accessible collective chant.
An Anthem Following Others
Barça already had several official songs, including an anthem linked to the inauguration of Camp Nou in 1957. The 1974 anthem has become firmly established. A centenary song later accompanied the anniversary celebrations without replacing the Cant del Barça.
A New Recording in 2023
The Vallès Symphony Orchestra, the Orfeó Català, and its Cor Jove participated in a new recording in 2023. The club presents it as a new interpretation that retains the lyrics and score, with renewed work on the voices and orchestration.

Singing the anthem before a match
At your first Barça match, take a moment to listen to the crowd. When the anthem starts, follow the rhythm of the fans around you and join in the chorus. You can share the moment even if you are new to the club or do not speak Catalan.
Plan your journey and allow enough time for the entry checks so you can settle in before kick-off. Check the instructions that come with your ticket, as arrangements may vary from match to match. A museum visit and attending a match are two different experiences.
