You are probably thinking of "Ode to Joy"; Beethoven's ninth symphony (the Choral). It is normally sung in German, but the English version is: BARITONE
Oh friends, not these tones!
Let us raise our voices in more
pleasing and more joyful sounds!
ODE TO JOY (Friedrich Schiller)
BARITONE, QUARTET, AND CHORUS
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.
Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing.
May he who has had the fortune
To gain a true friend
And he who has won a noble wife
Join in our jubilation!
Yes, even if he calls but one soul
His own in all the world.
But he who has failed in this
Must steal away alone and in tears.
All the world's creatures
Draw joy from nature's breast;
Both the good and the evil
Follow her rose-strewn path.
She gave us kisses and wine
And a friend loyal unto death;
She gave lust for life to the lowliest,
And the Cherub stands before God.
TENOR SOLO AND CHORUS
Joyously, as his suns speed
Through Heaven's glorious order,
Hasten, Brothers, on your way,
Exulting as a knight in victory.
CHORUS
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.
Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.

It appears that the lyrics were written by neither. Henry Burleigh adapted Dvorak's composition into the song, but William Arms Fisher wrote the lyrics. Actually, Dvorak incorporated the tune of the Negro spiritual "Goin' Home" into his New World Symphony. "Goin' Home" existed before Dvorak wrote his symphony. Dvorak lived in the US for a few years, and found himself very drawn to this melody, so he used it.

With which cathedral is the medieval composer Perotin associated with?
Quite possibly Notre Dame.
Yes, it would have been Notre Dame in Paris, although the building the cathedral was barely 20 years into the construction and it wouldn't be finished for another century. The first mention we have of Perotin is in "Anonymous IV" which was an English music student's notebook from ca.1280. Consequently there is no contemporary mention of Perotin during his lifetime, if he existed. Today, we use "Perotin" to personify the 2nd generation of Notre Dame composers - a period of amazing strides in 3- and 4-part polyphony.

What are the words for Beethoven's Ninth Symphony sung in a you tube called som sabadell?
"Som sabadell" means "We are Sabadell." Sabadell is a bank. The words are a commercial for the bank, set to the music of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." It's just like the airline commercial that uses Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue for its advertisements. "Som Sabadell" is an ad campaign, and the whole flash mob in that YouTube video was a publicity stunt for the bank.
