Lyrics to music from the Spanish Civil War
Jarama Valley
(Sung to the tune of Red River Valley)
There's a valley in Spain called Jarama
It's a place that we all love so well
It was there that we gave of our manhood
Where so many of our brave comrades fell.
We are proud of the Lincoln Battalion
And the fight for Madrid that it made
There we fought like true sons of the people
As part of the Fifteenth Brigade
Now we're far from that valley of sorrow
But its memory we ne'er will forget
So before we conclude this reunion
Let us stand to our glorious dead
Viva La Quince Brigada
(Long Live the Fifteenth Brigade)
Viva la quince brigada
Rumbala, rumbala, rumbala, rum
(repeat)
Que se ha cubierta de Gloria
Ay Manuela, ay Manuela
(repeat)
Luchamos contra los moros
Rumbala, rumbala, rumbala, rum
(repeat)
Mercenarios y fascistas
Ay Manuela, ay Manuela
(repeat)
Solo es nuestro deseo
Rumbala, rumbala, rumbala, rum
(repeat)
Acabar con el fascismo
Ay Manuela, ay Manuela
(repeat)
En el frente de Jarama
Rumbala, rumbala, rumbala, rum
(repeat)
No tenemos ni aviones
