Futbol Club Barcelona (Catalan pronunciation: [fubˈbɔɫ ˈkɫub bərsəˈɫonə] ( listen)), also known as Barcelona and familiarly as Barça, is a professional football club, based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). The official Barcelona anthem is the "Cant del Barça" written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €398 million. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Real Madrid; matches between the two teams are referred to as "El Clásico".
They are the current Copa del Rey champions and have won 21 La Liga, 26 Copa del Rey, 10 Supercopa de España, 3 Copa Eva Duarte and 2 Copa de la Liga trophies, as well as being the record holder for the latter four competitions. In international club football Barcelona have won four UEFA Champions League, a record four UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, four UEFA Super Cup, a record three Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and a record two FIFA Club World Cup trophies.
Once more on a roll
I’m looking for something.
Unable to waste
Always ready to taste.
Too tired to be
Pathetically lonely.
Too eager to get
An illusion of happiness.
Once more I’ve got no home
And I’m looking for someone
To give me shelter and warmth
‘cause I’m cold to the bone.
(don’t know what stops me roam)
Somewhere I belong
But that place is a secret
For everyone
And, alas, it’s unknown to me.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause you’re deaf to my heart.
You can’t bother me less
Than you’re meant to bother.
I can’t be what you want,
Always pleasure and smile.
(my temples ache when I try to fake).
I’m not going to change
That’s not in my power
No matter for you
Or for anyone else to come.
Why stopping me go,
Why holding me tighter,
(you can’t take me the right way)
Why cling to my eyes,
Why pretend you know me?
(you can’t take me the right way)
To someone I belong,
To the others I’m nothing.
(you can’t take me the right way)
I know you are not
What I want for myself this time.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause I’m deaf to your heart.
You’re nothing special to me
No matter what you want
Like it or not.
We’re nothing but you and me
And it is clear we can’t be
A melted we.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause you’re deaf to my heart.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
