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.
It was composed by José Juan Santesteban to celebrate the Liberal victory. When the Carlists eventually won, they appropriated the melody. [1]
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 [2] 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 [3] 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.
Marcha de Oriamendi Por Dios, por la Patria y el Rey Lucharemos todos juntos Cueste lo que cueste Por Dios, por la Patria y el Rey |
"God, Fatherland, King" (sometimes "God, Fatherland, Fuero, King") is the Carlist motto.
Montejurra (Basque Jurramendi) is another battle of symbolic importance to Carlists.

The decree merged two existing political groupings, the Falangists and the Carlists, into a new party - the Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista. As all other parties were declared dissolved at the same time, the FET became the only legal party in Nationalist Spain. It was defined in the decree as a link between state and society and was intended to form the basis for an eventual totalitarian regime. The head of state – Franco himself – was proclaimed party leader, to be assisted by the Junta Política and Consejo Nacional. A set of decrees which followed shortly after appointed members to the new executive.
