Abstract
The Nova Canço Catalana is mainly associated with the artist type of the cantautor, but professional composers and lyricists have also to be taken into account to describe this movement. The articles presents the most prolific and important lyricist of the Nova Canço era, Josep Maria Andreu (1920-2014), who – apart from literary poems – between the 1960’s and the 1990’s wrote the lyrics for 114 original Catalan songs and adapted some 281 foreign song texts to Catalan. Special attention is given to his most successful song, “Se’n va anar”, which he wrote in 1963. An appendix to the article contains an exhaustive list of Andreu’s original work and adaptations.
