Cada Dia
La Gossa Sorda
The Daily Struggle Against Repression
La Gossa Sorda's song "Cada Dia" is a powerful anthem that delves into the daily struggles against police brutality and systemic repression. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a society where the police, described as "servents emmurallats del règim" (servants walled in by the regime), are a constant oppressive force. The song opens with a stark image of a friend injured by a rubber bullet, symbolizing the physical and emotional toll of state violence. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which critiques the illusion of democracy and the false promises of electoral processes.
The recurring phrase "Cada dia" (Every day) emphasizes the relentless nature of this oppression. The police are depicted as enforcers of a pseudo-democracy, using violence to maintain control and suppress dissent. The lyrics mention various cities like Barcelona and Goteborg, highlighting that this is a global issue, not confined to one place. The reference to Gènova and the phrase "policia assassina" (murderous police) evoke memories of past protests and the brutal crackdowns that followed, reinforcing the song's message of ongoing resistance.
The song also calls for positive action and continued struggle against repression. The lines "Continuem lluitant contra tota repressió" (We continue fighting against all repression) and "Canalització positiva de la ràbia" (Positive channeling of rage) suggest a proactive approach to activism. La Gossa Sorda encourages listeners to stay vigilant and focused, with "els ulls ben oberts i el cabet a la faena" (eyes wide open and head in the work). The repeated imagery of burning consensus signifies a rejection of complacency and a call to action, urging people to fight for true freedom and justice.
