LA VALLE DEL JARAMA

C'è una valle in Ispagna chiamata Jarama,
È un posto che tutti noi ben conosciamo,
È la che abbiamo dato un po' della nostra età adulta,
E tanti nostri arditi compagni sono caduti.

Siamo fieri del Battaglione Britannico
E della resistenza per Madrid che hanno fatto,
Perché si sono battuti come veri figli del paese
Come parte della Quindicesima Brigata.

Con il resto della colonna internazionale
Nella resistenza per la libertà della Spagna
Abbiamo giurato nella valle del Jarama
Che il fascismo mai regnerà.

Ora che abbiamo lasciato quell'oscura valle di dolore
E i suoi ricordi di rimpianto,
Prima di continuare questo raduno
Alziamoci in onore dei nostri gloriosi morti.
JARAMA VALLEY

There's a valley in Spain called Jarama
it's a place that we all know so well
it was there that we fought against the fascists
we saw a peaceful valley turn to hell.

From this valley they say we are going
but don't hasten to bid us adieu
even though we lost the battle at Jarama
we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through.

We were men of the Lincoln battalion
we're proud of the fight that we made
we know that you people of the valley
will remember our Lincoln brigade.

From this valley they say we are going
but don't hasten to bid us adieu
even though we lost the battle at Jarama
we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through.

You will never find peace with these fascists
you will never find friends such as we
so remember that valley of Jarama
and the people that'll set that valley free.

From this valley they say that we're going
Don't hasten to bid us adieu
even though we lost the battle at Jarama
we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through.

All this world is like this valley called Jarama
so green and so bright and so fair
no fascists can dwell in our valley
nor breathe in our new freedom's air.

From this valley they say that we're going
Do not hasten to bid us adieu
even though we lost the battle at Jarama
we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through.
