“Cant del Barça” is the official anthem of Barcelona and one of the club’s strongest symbols, regularly heard around Camp Nou on matchdays as fans sing along before kick-off.
The song was created to mark the club’s 75th anniversary in 1974. The music was composed by Manuel Valls, while the lyrics were written by Josep Maria Espinàs and Jaume Picas.
Its message is simple and clear: unity, pride and the idea that Barça is “more than a club”. The anthem underlines togetherness among supporters and players, with the repeated theme of moving forward as one, no matter where fans come from.
The best-known line, “Tots units fem força”, translates as “All together we are strong”, capturing the central meaning of the anthem and why it remains a key part of the matchday routine.
Here are the lyrics to “Cant del Barça”:
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, 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 el sap tothom:
Barça, Barça, Barça!
Barça! Barça! Barça!
The anthem is traditionally played inside the stadium with supporters joining in, creating a moment that sets the tone before the action starts. A video version is also widely shared and watched by fans around the world.
What the anthem reveals is the club’s identity in a few short lines: Barcelona as a community, united behind the same colours, with a shared history and a belief that the team can never be broken when everyone stands together.
