Marcha de Oriamendi (English: March of Oriamendi), is the anthem of the Carlist movement. The name of the anthem stems from the Battle of Oriamendi which took place in 1837 during the First Carlist War.
The original lyrics were in Basque. The lyrics in Spanish were written in 1908 by Ignacio Baleztena Ascárate as "Marcha Jaimista". 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): "los boinas rojas" means the requetés, or Carlist soldiers. The red berets are part of the Carlist uniform.
"God, Fatherland, King" (sometimes "God, Fatherland, Fuero, King") is the Carlist motto.
Montejurra (Basque Jurramendi) is another battle of symbolic importance to Carlists.
Lyrics:
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.
Cueste lo que cueste
Se ha de conseguir
Que los boinas Rojas
Entren en Madrid.
Por Dios, por la Patria y el Rey
Lucharon nuestros padres.
Por Dios, por la Patria y el Rey
Lucharemos nosotros también.
