March of Oriamendi (Spanish: Marcha de 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.
History
It was composed by José Juan Santesteban to celebrate the Liberal victory.
When the Carlists eventually won, they appropriated the melody.
The original lyrics were in Basque. The lyrics in Spanish were written in 1908 by Ignacio Baleztena Ascárate as Marcha Jaimista ("Jamesist March"). 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.
The Decree 226/1937 of the Burgos Junta recognizes as cantos nacionales Oriamendi and the anthems of Falange Española (Cara al Sol) and the Spanish Legion (Novio de la muerte) ordering that they should be listened to standing in homage to the Fatherland and the fallen.
A decree from 1942 reinstates the songs and orders that, in official events, the playing of the anthem and the songs must be saluted with a "national salute" (Roman salute), or a military salute if the event is exclusively military.
Lyrics
"God, Fatherland, King" (sometimes "God, Fatherland, Fuero, King") is the Carlist motto.
Montejurra (Basque Jurramendi) is another battle of symbolic importance to Carlists.
