En casa del dimoni — Lyrics
En casa del dimoni, tiroram (bis)
Jo tinc un burro ram tiroram
Jo tinc un ram tiroram ram ram.
Jo tinc un burro.
I per por a cremarme, tiroram (bis)
No vaig a durlo ram tiroram
No vaig a ram tiroram ram ram.
No vaig a durlo.

About En casa del dimoni
This lively Catalan folk song, En casa del dimoni, is arranged for SATB choir. The music opens with a direct, spirited declamation before weaving imitative passages and playful exchanges between the voices. The text tells a humorous story of a donkey, and the fear of being burned at the devil's house, which prevents the singer from going to fetch it. The subsequent verses substitute a plough for the donkey, offering further comic relief. The SATB arrangement provides opportunities for rich harmonies and dynamic contrasts, making it an engaging choice for a secular concert programme.
