Després de 5 dilluns anant a mercat, avui canviem el guió per visitar un lloc una mica més tranquil.
After 5 Mondays going to the market, today we change the script to visit a place a little more peaceful.
Marxem del Batibull del Firal per respirar la calma de l'alta Garrotxo.
We leave the chaos of the Firal to breathe the calm of the high Garrotxa.
I a cinc dilluns anem a l'Aia Bosch.
And in five Mondays we are going to The Hague Bosch.
És que aquest és l'últim capítol de la sèrie que vam engegar fa unes setmanes.
This is the last episode of the series that we started a few weeks ago.
Fins avui hem pogut descobrir el parlar de la Garrotxa des de diferents òptiques.
Until today, we have been able to discover the speech of Garrotxa from different perspectives.
Hem pres consciència de com ha canviat entre una àvia i una neta.
We have become aware of how the relationship between a grandmother and a granddaughter has changed.
Hem vist com es pot utilitzar a les xarxes socials a ple segle XXI.
We have seen how social networks can be used in the 21st century.
Ens hem sorprès de l'interès que genera inclús en algunes persones novingudes.
We have been surprised by the interest it generates even in some newcomers.
Ens han explicat com se sent i com es percep des d'un altre parlar.
They have explained to us how it feels and how it is perceived from another way of speaking.
I com no podia ser d'una altra manera, n'hem reflexionat amb els autors del llibre
And as it could not be otherwise, we have reflected on it with the authors of the book.
El parlar de la Garrotxa.
The speech of Garrotxa.
Que Joaquim Monturiol i Eloi Domínguez van fer servir per al seu llibre.
What Joaquim Monturiol and Eloi Domínguez used for their book.
Concretament, va ser en Quim qui va anar a visitar-los més d'una vegada a casa seva.
Specifically, it was Quim who went to visit them more than once at their home.
De les converses al voltant de la taula,
From the conversations around the table,
parlant de la vida, de la feina, del camp, d'històries passades,
talking about life, work, the countryside, past stories,
em va anar rescatant expressions i paraules
he was rescuing expressions and words for me
i també va confirmar més d'una característica sobre el nostre parlar.
and also confirmed more than one feature about our speech.
Avui serem nosaltres qui anirem a parlar-hi,
Today it will be us who will go to talk to him/her.
però sobretot a escoltar-los.
but above all to listen to them.
Fins a casa seva, ens hi ha volgut acompanyar també en Quim.
Until his home, Quim has also wanted to accompany us.
Que vol regalar-los un exemplar del llibre.
He wants to give them a copy of the book.
Va ser precisament arran de l'entrevista amb els autors
It was precisely as a result of the interview with the authors.
que va sortir la idea d'anar a veure els masovers de Can Gustí de Riu.
that came up the idea of going to see the farm workers of Can Gustí de Riu.
Qui millor que ells per escoltar el veritable parlar de la Garrotxa.
Who better than them to listen to the true voice of Garrotxa.
Van néixer a l'Alta Garrotxa i han passat tota la seva vida
They were born in the Alta Garrotxa and have spent their entire life.
i tenen clar que d'allà no es mouen.
And they are clear that they won't move from there.
És casa seva.
It is your house.
El camí fins allà no és fàcil.
The way there is not easy.
Fins i tot ens cal un passi per poder-hi accedir.
We even need a pass to be able to access it.
Però a vegades,
But sometimes,
les històries més interessants són les que s'han d'anar a buscar,
the most interesting stories are the ones that must be sought out,
no pas les que arriben soles.
not the ones that arrive alone.
Hola, Lai, bona nit.
Hello, Lai, good night.
Escolta'm, a veure, això del passi del cotxe ho tinc arreglat.
Listen to me, let’s see, I have sorted out the car pass.
He parlat amb aquesta gent d'allà, però no hi eren
I spoke with those people over there, but they weren't there.
perquè avui operaven el germà d'ells.
because today they were operating on their brother.
Per tant, demà hi tornaré a trucar
Therefore, I will call again tomorrow.
perquè, bueno, teòricament és una operació senzilla.
because, well, theoretically it's a simple operation.
I, bueno, no sé si els dirà bé quin dia,
Well, I don't know if he will tell them which day correctly.
el dimecres a la tarda, però, bueno, demà ho sabré segur.
Wednesday afternoon, but, well, I'll definitely know for sure tomorrow.
D'acord?
Okay?
De moment, guardeu-s'ho,
For the moment, keep it to yourselves.
t'hi d'aquí un lot més o menys dos quarts de cinc, d'acord?
I'll see you here in about a lot more or less at quarter to five, okay?
A les cinc recollir el passi aquí a Montagut i tirar per munt.
At five o'clock, pick up the pass here in Montagut and head up the mountain.
No hi va haver inconvenient.
There was no inconvenience.
I així, aquell dimecres de març,
And so, that Wednesday in March,
quan en Quim va sortir de treballar,
when Quim finished work,
va passar per la redacció a recollir-me.
he came by the office to pick me up.
Bona nit.
Good night.
Hola, què tal?
Hello, how are you?
Bé, i tu?
Good, and you?
Què, estàs a punt?
What, are you ready?
Sí, sí, sí.
Yes, yes, yes.
Hòstia, falta gent?
Damn, is there a lack of people?
Sí, cap amunt.
Yes, upward.
Doncs au, va, som-hi.
Well, come on, let's go.
Va.
Okay.
Vine.
Come.
Amb el seu 4x4, posem rumb cap a Can Agustí.
With his 4x4, we set course for Can Agustí.
Des de Campaixín, la seu de la comarca,
From Campaixín, the capital of the region,
s'hi arriba aproximadament en 40 minuts.
It takes about 40 minutes to get there.
El trajecte fins allà no es fa llarg,
The journey there isn't long,
i a mig camí fem parada a Montagut.
And halfway we stop at Montagut.
Ara hi tenim un tros, eh?
Now we have a piece, huh?
Quan hi ha?
When is there?
A tres quarts d'hora hi estrem.
In three quarters of an hour, we will be there.
I primer hem de parar a Montagut?
And first, do we have to stop at Montagut?
Anar a la flaca, buscar el passi,
Go to the thin one, look for the pass,
i llavors amunt.
and then up.
Molt bé.
Very good.
De passada, comprem unes quantes ensaïmades
By the way, let's buy a few ensaïmades.
i una mica de coca de sucre.
and a little bit of sugar cake.
Recollit tot el que necessitàvem,
Gathered everything we needed,
ara sí, continuem la ruta.
Now yes, let's continue the route.
Resseguint el Llerc amunt,
Tracing up the Llerc,
arribem a Cedernes.
we arrive at Cedernes.
A partir d'allà, agafem el camí que puja a Sant Aniol.
From there, we take the path that climbs to Sant Aniol.
En Quim, enamorat de l'alta Garrotxa,
In Quim, in love with the high Garrotxa,
m'obliga a fixar-me en tots els raconets que anem passant.
It forces me to pay attention to all the little corners we pass by.
Les coves, les esglésies, els cims...
The caves, the churches, the peaks...
Deixem el pont de Valentí
Let's leave the Valentí bridge.
i l'hostal de Cala Bruta a l'esquerra,
and the hostel of Cala Bruta on the left,
i a la bifurcació següent,
"and at the next fork,"
prenem la pista de la dreta,
we take the right track,
que tot serà un desastre.
that everything will be a disaster.
El pentejant anirà enfilant-nos muntanya amunt.
The cable car will take us up the mountain.
Més endavant, des de la carretera,
Further on, from the road,
albirem l'església de Sant Feliu de Riu,
we glimpse the church of Sant Feliu de Riu,
que ens indica que anem per bon camí.
which indicates that we are on the right track.
Anem tirant.
We are getting by.
Després d'una estona, passem entre mig de boscos,
After some time, we pass through the woods.
que en Quim en fa saber que són castanyers,
that Quim lets me know that they are chestnut trees,
i amagat entre els arbres
and hidden among the trees
veiem algun animaló,
we see an animal,
potser un cavirol,
perhaps a mule
però no som probàbils d'identificar-lo,
but we are not likely to identify him,
perquè està massa lluny.
because it is too far away.
Qui sí que no passa desapercebut en cap moment
Who definitely doesn't go unnoticed at any moment
és l'enorme Puig del Bassagoda,
it is the enormous Puig del Bassagoda,
que s'alça just del davant nostre.
that rises right in front of us.
La ruta ens mena primer a la plana,
The route first takes us to the plain,
convertida ara en casa de turisme rural,
now converted into a rural tourism house,
i al cap de poc hi haurà cangostí.
And soon there will be a cangost.
Durant el trajecte,
During the journey,
aprofito per preguntar a en Quim
I take the opportunity to ask Quim.
més coses sobre els masovers que l'habiten.
more things about the peasants that inhabit it.
I la Dolors venia de quina casa de Talaixó?
And where was Dolors coming from, which house in Talaixó?
De la Masó.
From Masó.
Estat de l'Eclàsia.
State of the Church.
I ells no els de la Quera,
I they are not from La Quera,
que és aquella també emparida,
what is that also sheltered,
que ja no queda res.
that there's nothing left.
Una casa immensa,
An immense house,
semblava un castell.
It looked like a castle.
M'explica que els dos homes es diuen
He tells me that the two men are named.
Joan,
John,
Joan i Llorenç,
Joan and Llorenç,
i són germans.
and they are brothers.
La Dolors és la dona del primer.
Dolors is the first man's wife.
Ells dos tenen una filla,
The two of them have a daughter.
la Marta,
Marta,
que va marxar fa temps de la casa,
that left the house a long time ago,
i ara ja té un fill.
And now she already has a son.
Tots tres venien de Talaixó,
All three were coming from Talaixó,
però viuen des de fa més de 40 anys
but they have been living for more than 40 years
en aquesta vall,
in this valley,
cuidant les pastures,
taking care of the pastures,
netejant els voltants,
cleaning the surroundings,
fent que estigui habitada.
making it inhabited.
Ja hi som, no?
We're already there, aren't we?
Sí, ja hi som.
Yes, we are already here.
Mira el Bassagoda,
Look at the Bassagoda,
i el tens.
And you have it.
Apa!
Come on!
Hola.
Hello.
A veure aquesta gent, a veure què.
Let's see these people, let's see what happens.
Deixem el cotxe davant de la casa,
We leave the car in front of the house,
agafem les bosses, el material, la teca i baixem.
We take the bags, the material, the wood, and go down.
De seguida ens trobem en Joan,
Soon we will meet Joan.
que està feinejant a fora.
who is working outside.
Ara ho teniu per aquí?
Do you have it here now?
Sí.
Yes.
Ara estem per aquí.
Now we are around here.
Molt bé.
Very well.
No ens hi entrarem.
We won't get involved in it.
Sí, home.
Yes, man.
Ens diu que la Dolors i en Llorenç ja són a dins,
He tells us that Dolors and Llorenç are already inside.
i hi entrem.
and we go in.
Només d'entrar, en Quim els regala el seu llibre,
As soon as he enters, Quim gifts them his book.
i els explica què hi poden trobar a dins.
and explains to them what they can find inside.
Però ja dic, la part de davant sí que no us la mireu,
But I already say, don't look at the front part.
perquè és un rotllo.
because it's a drag.
Això és pels lingüistes i no hi entendreu res.
This is for linguists and you won't understand anything.
Però a partir d'aquí, a partir d'aquí us agradarà, ja ho veureu.
But from here on, from here you'll like it, you'll see.
Llavors explica cada paraula, què vol dir,
Then explain each word, what it means.
com se diu,
how do you say,
que a vegades s'escriu d'una manera, però es diu d'una altra.
that sometimes it is written one way, but it is said another.
Exacte.
Exactly.
Per exemple, la Gutzil es diu Gutzil.
For example, Gutzil is called Gutzil.
El can Agustí es diu Gustí.
The dog Agustí is called Gustí.
I bueno,
And well,
això passa en moltes paraules.
this happens in many words.
Llavors aquí ja diu com s'escriu,
Then here it says how it's written,
que seria Agustí,
what would Agustí be,
però com es diu?
but how do you say it?
Gustí.
Gust.
La mateixa paraula vindrà 10 vegades
The same word will come 10 times.
i no te la direm moltes vegades.
And we won't tell you many times.
La mateixa, diferent.
The same, different.
Això també pot ser.
This could also be.
Tal com te ve el moment, no la deixes, no, no ho sé.
As the moment comes to you, don't let it go, no, I don't know.
Com raja, no?
Like a fountain, right?
Tal com raja, sí.
As it flows, yes.
I és tal com raja que volem sentir-los parlar,
And it is just as we want to hear them speak,
com ho farien entre ells, fora de micros.
how they would do it among themselves, out of microphones.
No volem que estiguin més pendents de com diuen les paraules,
We do not want them to be more concerned with how the words are said,
que de dir-les.
What to say about them.
Per tant, agafem el consell d'en Quim
Therefore, we take Quim's advice.
i comencem a parlar d'altres coses que no són de llengua.
And we start to talk about other things that are not language-related.
Comencem pel principi.
Let's start from the beginning.
Aquí, ara som a Can Agustí de Riu.
Here, we are now at Can Agustí de Riu.
Vau néixer aquí o, em sembla que no, molt a prop d'aquí?
Did you born here or, I think not, very close to here?
Doncs no, nosaltres vam néixer,
Well no, we were born,
jo vaig néixer a Massa de Talaixà,
I was born in Massa de Talaixà,
allà a tocar a l'Iglésia,
there close to the Church,
no us veu diguis tant,
don't let him/her tell you so much,
i vaig venir cap aquí, que ja tenia 30 anys,
I came here when I was already 30 years old.
i tota la vida,
and all the life,
i llavors vaig anar una mica a col·legi, poc,
And then I went to school a little, not much,
vaig anar a Montogut,
I went to Montogut,
als 10 o 14 anys, 4 anys, vull dir que de poc.
at 10 or 14 years old, 4 years, I mean not much.
I com ho feies llavors?
And how did you do it back then?
Sí, bé, em baixava el meu pare,
Yes, well, my father was coming down.
em venia a acompanyar el dilluns al dematí,

a Sedernes, i allà venia a l'autocar,

so yes, and we lived there.
Tota la setmana, no?
All week, right?
Tots els de Can Masó,
Everyone from Can Masó,
i anàvem tots d'una colla cap a Montogut.
And we all went as a group to Montogut.
Era una colla de germans, no?
It was a bunch of siblings, wasn’t it?
8 eren ells.
There were eight of them.
Llavors que vinguessin a col·legi
Then they would come to school.
n'hi havia 3 o 4 més.
there were 3 or 4 more.
Llavors devien haver de quedar a treballar a casa.
Then they must have had to stay home to work.
Els dos grans ja havien plegat,
The two big ones had already finished.
i dos de petits encara havien de néixer.
and two of the little ones still had to be born.
Imagina't, quan jo vaig plegar,
Imagine, when I quit,
llavors varen néixer els dos petits.
then the two little ones were born.
Imagina't.
Imagine.

Una casa molt gran, però molt malament.
A very big house, but in very bad shape.
Vam tenir uns cinc germans i vam néixer tots allà.
We had about five siblings and we were all born there.
A més, quedem dos.
Moreover, we are just two.
Els dos valents.

Acaba per anar a venir a veure un parell de fills.
He ends up coming to see a couple of kids.
Els cabres sí, però també dos.
The goats yes, but also two.
Sí, sí, no, que anem a rapar, ja n'aprenen ràpid.
Yes, yes, no, we are going to shave, they learn quickly.
Sí.
Yes.
Sí, bueno.
Yes, well.
Segur que us heu fixat com la Dolors diu uella.
You must have noticed how Dolors says uella.
És així, també, com la recull el llibre del parlar de la Garrotxa.
It is also in this way that the book on the speech of Garrotxa collects it.
Aprofitant que ja hem acabat de berenar, o sopar,
Taking advantage of the fact that we have already finished having a snack or dinner,
i que en Joan ja ha arribat, fullegem una mica el llibre.
And since Joan has already arrived, let's browse through the book a bit.
A veure si saben què volen dir algunes de les seves paraules.
Let's see if they know what some of their words mean.
Una garlopa, sabeu què és?
A garlopa, do you know what it is?
Una garlopa? Una garlopa.
A plane? A plane.
Són això, eh? Sí.
It's this, right? Yes.
Si hi ha una pista, és una eina.
If there is a clue, it is a tool.
És la de vostè.
It is yours.
La veus?
Do you see her?
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha de sentir alguna cosa d'aquesta.
He must feel something about this.
Una garlopa és això, com se diu, un ribot.
A plane is this, as it is called, a plane tool.
Exacte.
Exactly.
Això, em sembla com un ribot.
This seems to me like a plane.
És com un ribot.
It's like a plane.
Deines d'aquest tipus. Sí, aquí n'hi ha moltes deines.
Tools of this type. Yes, there are many tools here.
Moltes deines.
Many tools.
Jo crec que aquí n'hi ha moltes.
I think there are many here.
Clar, ara, ni en Jordi ni ningú ja sap què fan,
Of course, now neither Jordi nor anyone knows what they're doing.
perquè ja no es fan servir, ja ningú és algú d'allò,
because they are no longer used, no one is someone from that anymore,
doncs clar, això mateix que dèiem ara.
So of course, that's exactly what we were just saying.
Clar, no té res a veure amb el que se'n fa.
Of course, it has nothing to do with what is done with it.
Que és un bitllot i que...
What is a bitllot and that...
I un perdulari? Una persona.
And a wanderer? A person.
És una persona que només hi haia de fiable.
She is a person who is only reliable.
Un perdulari és que estan aviciats a algú.
A wanderer is someone who is addicted to someone.
Sí, sí.
Yes, yes.
Sigui...
Be...
És un aviciat d'alguna cosa.
He is addicted to something.
Sí, aviciat, sigui de beure, sigui de droga, sigui de moltes coses.
Yes, be it drink, be it drugs, be it many things.
És un perdulari.
He is a wayfarer.
Està perdut.
He is lost.
Sí.
Yes.
Sí, sí, sí.
Yes, yes, yes.
Aquí també hi ha la paraula bresquer.
Here too is the word bresquer.
Bresquer?
Bresquer?
Bresquer.
Bresquer.
El foc.
The fire.
No, bresquer no.
No, not a breather.
No.
No.
Ens diuen rascals.
They call us rascals.
Ah.
Ah.
És el mateix.
It's the same.
Ah, d'acord.
Ah, okay.
Els rascals de foc.
The fire rascal.
Sí.
Yes.
Ens diuen rascals.
They call us rascals.
Sí.
Yes.
Ja caliu.
You are already here.
Jo vull dir que aquestes mateixes paraules es diuen d'una altra forma.
I mean that these same words are said in another way.
Sí, sí.
Yes, yes.
I no...
And I no...
Ha canviat.
It has changed.
Exacte.
Exact.
El dia mateix els vaig dir...
The same day I told them...
Havien posat dos socs aquí baix, grossos.
They had placed two large piles here below.
Vaig dir, aneu a buscar aquells cetis i poseu-los aquí fora.
I said, go get those bags and put them outside here.
Cetis.
Cetus.
Se'n riuen, en aquest cas, del seu gendre, en Jordi, que no sabia què volia dir cetis.
They are making fun of their son-in-law, Jordi, who didn't know what cetis meant.
Òbviament, jo no els confesso que tampoc he sentit mai aquesta paraula.
Obviously, I do not confess to them that I have also never heard this word.
Sí, un mau hermano.
Yes, a bad brother.
Ei, aquest és un mau hermano.
Hey, this is a bad brother.
Què vol dir?
What does it mean?
Són un duet.
They are a duet.
Un que bé i no t'agrada gaire i és que te'l segeix el mau hermano.
One that is good and you don't like very much is that your bad brother follows you.
I tant.
Me too.
En trenquen menyes.
They break it down.
Sí, una altra cosa.
Yes, another thing.
Que xarra molt i diu mentides, de més.
He talks a lot and tells more lies.
I tant viu el moll com el foll.
Both the dock and the fool are very much alive.
Però el foll es va tipar i el moll es va morir de gana.
But the fool got tired and the bouncy died of hunger.
No sé si ho viu.
I don't know if he/she experiences it.
No va sentir de gana, aquest no.
He didn't feel hungry, not at all.
No.
No.
No hi va sentir de gana.
He/She didn't feel hungry.
Aquesta és de llà dels prems.
This is from the press.
Ah sí?
Oh really?
Diu, tenir traios de boubell.
He says, having traits of a fool.
Ah sí?
Oh really?
Això sí que els deia.
This is what I was telling them.
Això els deia.
This is what I told them.
Mira, caic en traios de boubell.
Look, I fall into the boubell trap.
Nosaltres ja ho vam tenir tots.
We already had it all.
Totes les masses.
All the masses.
Com mal.
As bad.
O picant.
Oh spicy.
Tot és bo.
Everything is good.
I que fa una tarda.
And what an afternoon it is.
Vull dir que a mi m'agrada molt.
I mean that I really like it.
I que fa una tarda.
And what a lovely afternoon it is.
com molt
with very much
o picant, no sé com ho diuen
or spicy, I don't know how they say it.
famós
famous
ja ho heu dit
you have already said it
sempre t'has de veure emmascarat
you always have to see yourself masked
amb la pila
with the battery
crec que et toca
I think it's your turn.
crec que et porta
I think it brings you.
arribar i moure't
arrive and move yourself
bona nit totes les pusses al teu llit
Good night all the fleas in your bed.
també
also
el pat de xinxes és el teu coixí
the bed of bugs is your pillow
digui encara, saps què diu?
Say again, do you know what it says?
i on?
And where?
diu, bona nit totes les pusses al teu llit
It says, good night all the fleas in your bed.
i a vegades s'hi afegeix
and sometimes it is added to it
i la més petita com un cabrit
and the smallest like a goat
i tu has dit que hi afegies tu
And you said that you would add it.
a sota el teu coixí
under your pillow
no, diu, bona nit totes les pusses
no, she says, good night all the fleas
al teu llit, el pat de xinxes
in your bed, the bed of fleas
a sota el teu coixí
under your pillow
t'ho afegirem
we will add it for you
alguna frase
any sentence
algunes frases fetes que han anat sortint a la conversa
some idioms that have come up in the conversation
i que en Quim no tenia controlades
and that Quim didn't have them under control
les ha anat apuntant en un paper
she has been noting them down on a piece of paper
deia a l'entrevista que li fèiem l'altre dia
he said in the interview we did the other day
que ara ja sí que no hi hauria cap més versió del llibre
that now there definitely wouldn't be any more versions of the book
qui sap si amb unes quantes visites més a Can Gusti
who knows if with a few more visits to Can Gusti
s'ho repensa
reconsiders it
i és que si no són escrites
and it's just that if they're not written
totes aquestes expressions
all these expressions
tenen el perill que es perdin
they run the risk of getting lost
que no les digui ningú mai més
that no one should ever tell them again
mirem per la finestra de la cuina
let's look out the kitchen window
des d'on es pot veure, de clar
from where it can be seen, clearly
l'església de Telaixà
the church of Telaixà
i ens adonem que ha fosquejat de mala manera
and we realize that it has gotten dark in a bad way
parlant i parlant
talking and talking
les bruques del rellotge han corregut sense adonar-nos-en
The hands of the clock have moved without us noticing.
no tenim gana per sopar
we are not hungry for dinner
però hem d'anar tirant cap avall
but we have to keep going downward
tanquem micros i ho deixem aquí
let's turn off the microphones and leave it here.
amb la promesa d'una reveure
with the promise of a see you again
ens veiem a la pròxima
see you next time
moltes gràcies
thank you very much

we have met them

later they believed it was worth it
de comptar amb la meva veu
to count on my voice

I am Òscar Cabana.
i llavors, en David Planella
and then, David Planella
