The night of December 24th is a very special night because you can enjoy the Song of the Sibyl, Intangible Heritage of Humanity (UNESCO) and one of the oldest artistic expressions in the Mediterranean.
The Grandma has never missed this appointment. Whether for many years in Santa Maria del Mar or the church of Bonanova in Barcelona, in the cathedral of Palma or even in the Cattedrale dell’Immacolata Concezione in l'Alguer, but this year she had the opportunity, with her friends, to listen to it in one of the most magical and impressive places: the crypt of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona.
In times where there are attempts to erase traditions and attack culture so fiercely, the Sibyl always rises as the voice of all humanity, appealing to with a truth that is above time and gender and making a direct appeal to conscience.
You don't have to be a believer to enjoy this majestic song that reminds us that everyone will pay for their actions: the just and the unjust.
Bon Nadal / Merry Christmas
El jorn del judici
parrà el qui haurà fet servici.
Jesucrist, Rei Universal,
homo i ver Déu eternal,
del cel vindrà per jutjar
i a cada un lo just darà.
Ans que el judici no serà,
un gran senyal se mostrarà:
La terra gritarà suor
i tremirà de gran paor.
Terratrèmol tan gran serà
que les torres derrocarà;
les pedres per mig se rompran
i les muntanyes se fondran.
Los puigs i plans seran igual.
Allà seran los bons i mals.
Reis, ducs, comtes i barons,
que de sos fets retran raons.
Gran foc del cel devallarà
mar, fonts i rius tot cremarà.
Los peixos donaran gran crit,
perdent son natural delit.
El sol perdrà la claretat,
mostrant-se fos i alteral;
la lluna no darà claror
i tot lo món serà tristor.
Humil verge qui haveu parit
Jesus infant en esta nit,
vullau a vòtron Fill pregar
que de l'infern vulga'ns lliurar.
El jorn del judici
parrà el qui haurà fet servici.
El jorn del judici
parrà el qui haurà fet servici.
