Folklore / Festival of the Merc� Barcelona

Catalan term or phrase: De Rosó

Hi all,

this is from a headline about an event at last year's Mercè festival in Barcelona.

***De Rosó al ball "salsero"***

Is De Rosó a person here? Someone who attended/performed at the Festival? Or is it "From De Roso to Salsa" hinting at the range involved? If the latter, what or who is "De Rosó"?

The article does not go on to illuminate the matter further. No other references are made to this person, if indeed person they be :-)

I can find no reference to a "De Rosó" performing at the Mercè last year (there are some excellent pages dedicated to the Mercè still accessible) Dictionary definitions of the word as Razor Fish or else Rossassa have not helped much. Any clues?

Cheers,

Berni

Explanation:
I don't know who or what "Rosó" is, but I think the "De" here is a preposition...

I checked out the programme at http://www.bcn.es/merce/directori2002.pdf (455 pages long!)
and the word \"Rosó\" doesn\'t come up even once.

Pel Teu Amor (Rosó)
Music: Josep Ribas, Text: Miguel Poal Aragall
Amb la llum del tei mirar,
has omplert la meva vida.
Si em volguessis estimar,
ma illusió fora complida,
i viura tan content,
que en mom rostre s'hi veuria
a la llum de l'agraiment.
I a tothora et cantaria
una canço pels teus ulls
que jo mateix et faria;
una canço pels teus ulls
perquè enmig de tants esculls
fossin ells la meva guia.
Rosó, rosó llum de le meva vida,
Rosó, rosó, no desfacis ma illusió.
Presoner en tots monets
de la teva veu tan clara,
que allunya els mals pensaments
i la bondat sols ampara,
perquè és fresca i és suau
i és un doll de poesia
i s'assembla a n'el cel blau
que al cor ens dóna alegria.
doncs ja que'm tens presoner
un dia i un altre dia,
i jo m'hi trobo tant bé
Roser la meva Roser
vulgues fer-ma companyia.
Rosó, rosó llum de le meva vida,
Rosó, rosó, no em desfacis ma illusió.
English Translation
For Your Love (Rosó)
With the light of your glance,
you have filled my life.
If you were to love me,
my hope would be fulfilled,
and I would live so happily
that in my face they would see
the light of gratitude.
And I would always be singing to you
a song for your eyes
that I myself would compose;
a song for your eyes
so that amid many pitfalls
they would be my guide.
Rosó, Rosó, light of my life,
Rosó, Rosó, don't undo my hopes.
Forever a prisoner
of your voice so clear
which sends away evil thoughts
and only shelters goodness,
because it is fresh and mild,
a vessel of poetry;
it resembles the blue sky
which brings joy to our hearts.
So since you already hold me captive
day in and day out,
and I am so well off there,
Rose, my Rose
say yes and stay with me.
Rosó, Rosó, light of my life,
Rosó, Rosó, don't undo my hopes

Rosó

Variante catalana de Roser. Este nombre es popular en Catalunya gracias a una canción titulada \"Pel teu amor\" que en los años 40 hizo furor. La interpretó entre otros Emili Vendrell. Ahora sigue siendo conocida porque forma parte del repertorio de las orquestas de las fiestas mayores. Dice la canción: \"Rosó, Rosó, llum de la meva vida...\" (Rosó, luz de mi vida...).
