Foc de Nit by Josep Navarro i Solves — Lyrics
Sempre que baixo a la platja
cap al tard, al ferse fosc,
m'assec a la freda roca
abraçantme ambdós genolls.
I la fresca m'embriaga
iem revifa el ventitjol;
em somriu la blanca lluna:
¡quína pau a tot l'entorn!
Al cap d'una bona estona
m'aixeco i cerco a l'aprop
quatre pedres i un diari
i amb branques seques faig foc.
I comença de les flames
la moguda enlluernant,
i als acords de la guitarra
l'habanera es va escampant.
M'acompanyen les estrelles
encastades al cel fosc,
i els llavis blancs de les ones
amb ses eternes remors.

About Foc de Nit
Josep Navarro i Solves's Foc de Nit is a secular Catalan folk song arranged for SAATTB voices. The text describes a solitary figure on the beach at dusk, building a fire of dry branches. As the flames dance and a guitar accompanies, the singer embraces the peaceful atmosphere, accompanied by the stars and the sound of the waves. The imagery evokes a sense of calm and connection with nature, culminating in the preparation of a warming drink. The rich vocal texture of SAATTB allows for a full and resonant interpretation of this evocative scene, capturing both the quiet contemplation and the gentle unfolding of the evening."Foc de Nit" means "Night Fire" translates the sensory experience of watching a bonfire on a beach as night falls, a moment of simple communion with the elements.
