Era conocida la canción popular del barrio:
It was known in the suburb for its song:
Ara plou, ara neva,
ara cau pedra,
pedra rodona, xim-xam, xim-xam
pedra rodona, xim-xam, xim-xam
visca la gresca del "torin".
Si el "torin" no va bé, posa-hi pega,
posa-hi pega
si el "torin" no va bé,
posa-hi pega sabater
Now it rains, now it snows,
Now stones fall,
Rounded stone, piedra redonda,
Rounded stone, xim-xam, xim-xam
Long live the party of Torín.
If Torín doesn´t do well, put glue
Put glue
If Torín doesn´t do well,
Put glue shoemaker
