Overall Meaning

Dr. Calypso's song "Brigadistes Internacionals" is about the International Brigades, a group of volunteers who fought for the Second Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939. The lyrics admit that the song is not a mere tale or dream, nor is it entirely true. This alludes to the complexities of the history surrounding the Brigades and the Civil War, including the political climate of the time and the propaganda on both sides.


Throughout the song, references are made to the volunteers and the sacrifices they made to support the Republic. The lyrics speak of the Brigadistes as "allies in a fraternal cause," and praises their bravery and commitment to fighting for democracy. The song also acknowledges the pain and struggle endured by those left behind by the volunteers, lamenting the loss of husbands, brothers, and sons.
