Oriamendi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oriamendi (Marcha de Oriamendi) is the anthem of the Carlist movement. The name of the anthem stems from a battle which took place in 1837 during the First Carlist War.

Marcha de Oriamendi

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. (bis)

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

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

March of Oriamendi

For God, for the Fatherland and for the King
Our fathers fought.
For God, for the Fatherland and for the King
We shall fight as well.

We shall all fight together,
All together in union
Defending the flag
Of Holy Tradition.(repeat)

By hook or by crook,
it has to be accomplished -
The return of the King of Spain
To the court of Madrid. (repeat)

For God, for the Fatherland and for the King
Our fathers fought.
For God, for the Fatherland and for the King
We will fight as well.

Over the years, several versions of "Oriamendi" have been in use. From 1936 till 1939, the stanza "venga el Rey de España a la corte de Madrid" was replaced by "que los boinas rojas entren en Madrid" ("the red berets shall conquer Madrid"). "los boinas rojas" means the "requetés" or Carlist soldiers. The red berets are part of the Carlist uniform.

"God, Fatherland, King" (sometimes "God, Fatherland, Custom Law, King") is the Carlist motto.

Montejurra (Basque Jurramendi) is another battle theatre that became symbolic to Carlists.
