Marcha de Oriamendi
The Marcha de Oriamendi ("March of Oriamendi") is the hymn of the Carlist movement in Spain . The song is named after a battle of the First Carlist War, which took place on March 16, 1837 near a mountain of the same name near San Sebastián and ended with a victory of the absolutist Carlist over the liberal Cristinos. According to legend, the Carlist invaded the Cristine camp and, as spoils of war, carried away weapons and uniforms as well as the score of the military march composed by an English musician, with which the victory of the Cristinos was to be celebrated.
The words of the text, which eventually became the Carlist hymn, come from Ignazio Balleztena, the melody from S. Cervantes.
Por Dios, por la patria y el Rey Lucharemos todos juntos Cueste lo que cueste Por Dios, por la patria y el Rey |
For God, the homeland and the king We fight all united, No matter what the cost, For God, the homeland and the king |
Different versions of the “March of Oriamendi” have been sung over the years. From 1936 to 1939, for example, instead of " venga el rey de España a la corte de Madrid " - " que los boinas rojas entren en Madrid " ("that the red hats move into Madrid ").
The Marcha de Oriamendi was part of the Triple Himno , a medley of - in this order - the Marcha de Oriamendi, the Falangist party anthem Cara al Sol and the national anthem Marcha Real , which used to sound at the end of the broadcast in the time of Franquism .
