Them's potentially fightin' words, ciarili. Catalonian words to songs are usually in Catalàn, the language of Catalonia, while "Spanish" usually refers to Castellano, the language of Castile. Catalàn tends to have more words ending in consonants, more ll's, etc. The most famous Catalàn carol, I think, is the one beginning "Lo [or El] desembre congelat". (I've always thought the "El" was a Castilian corruption.) The Franco government spent a lot of taxpayers' money trying to force the Catalonians to stop speaking Catalàn, even moving Castilian-speakers in en masse à la Communist Tibet, but it didn't work. They still speak Catalàn, more now than twenty years ago.
