The hymn of Aran Valley

The anthem

Aqueres montanhes
que tant nautes son,
m'empèishen de véder
mèns amors a o son.

Nautes se son nautes
ja s'abaisharàn
es mies amoretes
que s'aproparàn.

Montanhes araneses
a on es pastors
es hònts regalades
tròben, e jordons.

Se cantes perqué cantes
cantes pas per jo
cantes per ma hilha
que non ei près de jo

Montanhes coronades
tot er an de nhèu,
tan nautes e bères
que vos pune eth cèu.

Montanhes araneses
pientades de rius,
de totes grandeses
vos adorne Diu.

Nòsti amors veiguéretz
com rosèr florir,
volem com es pares,
guardant-vos morir.


Festa de les falles d'Erill la Vall

The closing of the failures has been a tradition since ancient times deeply rooted in the villages of Aran Val.

The failures are resionsos trunks that are prepared several days in advance to be ready on the day of descent. We have also completed the "lighthouse", which involves planting a pine tree in a high place and visible from the village, where bonfires are lit before the fall.
In the Boi Valley there are two types of faults: the "rantiners" are of one piece! And "failures" are the most common pieces of pine Teia and stick to a stick of ash.

The descent starts from a high place on the mountain, guided by more or Fadri any of the gang, the guide line of fire down the mountain until you reach the village square where music is received with the sound of bells. With the failure is consumed half a bonfire and the party begins.
