JARAMA VALLEY 1. Alex McDade's original version 1. La versione originale di Alex McDade 1. La version originale d'Alex McDade 1. Alex McDaden alkuperäinen versio Alex McDade. There’s a valley in Spain called Jarama, That's a place that we all know so well, for 'tis there that we wasted our manhood, And most of our old age as well. From this valley they tell us we're leaving But don't hasten to bid us adieu For e'en though we make our departure We'll be back in an hour or two Oh, we're proud of our British Battalion, And the marathon record it's made, Please do us this one little favour And take this last word to Brigade: "You will never be happy with strangers, They would not understand you as we, So remember the Jarama Valley And the old men who wait patiently".

EL VALLE DEL JARAMA Fue en España en el valle del Jarama lugar que nunca podré olvidar pues allí cayeron camaradas jóvenes que fueron a luchar. Nuestro batallón era el Lincoln luchando por defender Madrid con el pueblo hermanados peleamos los de la Quince Brigada allí. Lejos ya de ese valle de lágrimas su recuerdo nadie borrará Y así antes de despedirnos recordemos quien murió allá.
