José República
Skalariak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
3ª brigada mixta, primera linea de fuego
Si me quieres escribir ya sabes mi paradero
3ª brigada mixta, primera linea de fuego...
Anda jaleo, jaleo... jaleo, jaleo
Silva la locomotora ya empieza el tiroteo
Anda jaleo, jaleo... jaleo, jaleo
Silva la ametralladora...
Eran los años treinta y vivia jose republica
Cuando el frente popular obtuvo victoria
Eran los años de la esperanza ke nos robaron
De tierra sin guerra.
Eh! un charco de sangre!
Eh! un hombre en el suelo
Huele asesinato ya hay duelo
Alguien... ha muerto
Eran los años treinta y vivia jose republica
Cuando alfonxo XIII huyo de la democracia
Eran los años de libertad como bandera
De la asamblea popular
Eh! un charco de sangre!
Eh! un hombre en el suelo
Huele asesinato ya hay duelo
Alguien... ha muerto
Llegaron los tiempo de los exiliados: Llego la guerra
De olas de hambre, de fusilados
Y el pueblo huerfano con dignidad
Nunca dejo de caminar NI DEJARÁ
Eh! un charco de sangre...
Eh! un hombre en el suelo...
Huele asesinato ya hay duelo
Jose República ha muerto...
Jose República ha muerto...
Dadle vida, que reviva...
The lyrics of Skalariak's song "José República" speak about the struggles and hardships faced by the people during the Spanish Civil War. The first paragraph directs a message to the listeners that if they want to write to the singer, they can find him on the front line of the 3rd Mixed Brigade. The lines are repeated while a locomotive and machine guns are heard, alluding to the savagery of the war. The chorus "Anda jaleo, jaleo..." is a popular phrase typical of a Spanish celebration, but here it is used ironically to express the essence of war - chaos.
The second verse of the song recounts the period of hope that existed after the Popular Front's victory, which promised peace and change. However, it was a short-lived period because soon the bloodshed began again, and people saw the realization of their dreams slipping away. The phrase "un charco de sangre" (a puddle of blood) repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the magnitude of the violence.
The final section of the lyrics speaks of the exile and hunger that people faced after the war. The phrase "llego la guerra" (the war arrived) reflects the helplessness of people when they were confronted with the horrors of the war. The song ends on a mournful note with the repeated lines "Jose República ha muerto..." (Jose Republic has died...), calling to revive the spirit that once fought for justice and democracy.
