A Las Barricadas (To The Barricades) - EPIC Spanish Instrumental Song

"A las Barricadas" ("To the Barricades") was one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Spanish Civil War. "A las Barricadas" is sung to the tune of the famous Polish revolutionary song "Whirlwinds of Danger" ("Warszawianka"), composed by Józef Pławiński.

The lyrics written by Valeriano Orobón Fernández in 1936 were partly based on the original Polish lyrics by Wacław Święcicki. "The Confederation" referred to in the final stanza is the anarcho-syndicalist CNT (Spanish: Confederación Nacional del Trabajo - "National Confederation of Labor"), which at the time was the largest labour union, the main anarchist organisation in Spain, and from 1936 to 1939 were a major force opposing Francisco Franco's military coup against the Spanish Republic.
Its Russian version with altered lyrics, the "Varshavianka" (Варшавянка), once experienced considerable popularity in the USSR. Gleb Krzhizhanovsky is usually reported as the author of the Russian version and the moment of writing the text is thought to be 1897, when Krzhizhanovsky was imprisoned by Tsarist forces. The song was also popular among American and British labor organizers, particularly after a version was sung by the famed American vocalist Paul Robeson.

Finally someone adressed that "A las Barricadas" is sung to the tune of "Warszawianka" not "Varshavianka", thank you mate

[@wildrafiki575]

What’s the difference between the two? I’ve looked it up but I can’t find the original name

[@animejat]

@@wildrafiki575 "Varshavianka" I assume is a (terrible) "phonetic" spelling of Warszawianka

[@steel_blizzard]

​@@animejatthe varshavianka is the russian version of the warszawianka similar lyrics different tune

[@karkinos-apo-to-vouno]

​@@animejatVarshavianka is just a transcription of more popular russian version, which has different lyrics (Hostile whirlwinds blow over us...).

Im Spanish, from Catalonia, thank you for publishing this.
This is very necessary in modern times where we are at the border of a new civil war or a military coup.
Elections gonna be made early and fascists probably will rule together with the reactionaries.
I hope someday we get our freedom and become a Republic again.

Si creus que Vox és feixista no vulguis saber què anirà després. Podem i Vox són els partits muletes del PSOE i PP respectivament. Vox d' aquí 5 anys estarà com Podem ara. Saps perquè? Perquè la gent quan tria entre la còpia i l'original, es qued amb el segon cas.

Вихри враждебные веют над нами,
Тёмные силы нас злобно гнетут.
В бой роковой мы вступили с врагами,
Нас ещё судьбы безвестные ждут.
Но мы подымем гордо и смело
Знамя борьбы за рабочее дело,
Знамя великой борьбы всех народов
За лучший мир, за святую свободу.
Припев:
На бой кровавый,
Святой и правый
Марш, марш вперёд,
Рабочий народ.
Мрёт в наши дни с голодухи рабочий,
Станем ли, братья, мы дольше молчать?
Наших сподвижников юные очи
Может ли вид эшафота пугать?
В битве великой не сгинут бесследно
Павшие с честью во имя идей.
Их имена с нашей песней победной
Станут священны мильонам людей.
Припев
Нам ненавистны тиранов короны,
Цепи народа-страдальца мы чтим.
Кровью народной залитые троны
Кровью мы наших врагов обагрим!
Месть беспощадная всем супостатам!
Всем паразитам трудящихся масс!
Мщенье и смерть всем царям-плутократам!
Близок победы торжественный час.
Припев
