Marcha de Oriamendi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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
Lucharon nuestros padres.
Por Dios, por la patria y el Rey
Lucharemos nosotros también.

Lucharemos todos juntos
Todos juntos en unión
Defendiendo la bandera
De la Santa Tradición. (to)

Cueste lo que cueste
Se ha de conseguir
Venga el rey de España
A la corte de Madrid. (to)

Por Dios, por la patria y el Rey
Lucharon nuestros padres.
Por Dios, por la patria y el Rey
Lucharemos nosotros también.

For God, the homeland and the king
fought our fathers have,
for God, the homeland and the king
struggles we.

We fight all united,
all united and in unity
In defense of the banner of
the sacred tradition. (to repeat)

No matter what the cost,
we have to achieve it - Let
the King of Spain come
to the court in Madrid. (to repeat)

For God, the homeland and the king
fought our fathers have,
for God, the homeland and the king
struggles we.

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 .
