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". | JARAMA VALLEY There’s a valley in Spain called Jarama It’s a place that we all know so well It is there that we gave of our manhood And most of our brave comrades fell We are proud of the British Battalion And the stand for Madrid that they made For they fought like true sons of the soil As part of the 15th Brigade With the rest of the International Column In the stand for the freedom of Spain We swore in that Valley of Jarama That fascism never will reign There’s a valley in Spain called Jarama It’s a place that we all know so well It is there that we gave of our manhood And most of our brave comrades fell Now we’ve left that dark valley of sorrow And its memory we ne’er shall forget So before we continue this reunion Let us stand to our glorious dead |
