The lyrics

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 Country and the King.
This is what our forefathers fought for.
For God, for Country and the King.
And this we will fight for as well.

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

By cost or by gain,
Acquired it must be -
Returning the King of Spain
To the court of Madrid. (repeat)

For God, for Country and the King.
This is what our forefathers fought for.
For God, for Country and the King.
And this we will fight for as well.

Over the years, several versions of "Oriamendi" have been in use. From 1936 to 1939, the line in the fourth verse - "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"). In this context, "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 of symbolic importance to Carlists.

Original Lyrics

Gora Jainko maite maitea
zagun denon jabe.
Gora España ta Euskalerria
ta bidezko errege.
Maite degu Euskalerria,
maite bere Fuero zarrak,
asmo ontara jarriz daude
beti Karlista indarrak.
Gora Jaungoiko illezkor!!!
Gora euskalduna,
audo ondo Españia-ko
errege bera duna!!!
