Els segadors: The Reapers is the current official national anthem of Catalonia. Its origins date of the Revolt in the seventeenth century. The song appeals to defend the freedom of the land.
Today the actual text is from Guanyavents Emilio in 1899 and the music is by Francesc Alió, who composed the melody in 1892, adapting the existing song.
It comes from a song born in the early uprising in Catalonia of 1640: the war of the Catalans against King Philip IV, in which the peasants staged major attacks.
Daniel I want you to attach a sound file and try the include the text in catalan and find(not make) an English version.
