Viva La Quinta Brigada (Ay, Carmela)

Long live the fifth brigade
Rumba, the rumba, the rumba, the
That will cover us with glories
Ay, Carmela, ay, Carmela

We fight against the Moors
Rumba, the rumba, the rumba, the
Mercenaries and fascists
Ay, Carmela, ay, Carmela

The army of the Ebro
Rumba, the rumba, the rumba, the
The other night crossed the river
Ay, Carmela, ay, Carmela

And to the invading forces
Rumba, the rumba, the rumba, the
Gave them a good beating
Ay, Carmela, ay, Carmela

On the fronts of Granada
Rumba, the rumba, the rumba, the
We don't have Mondays
Ay, Carmela, ay, Carmela

Nor do we have Tuesdays
Rumba, the rumba, the rumba, the
With tanks and grenades
Ay, Carmela, ay, Carmela
