    "A las Barricadas" ("To the Barricades") was one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Spanish Civil War. "A las Barricadas" is sung to the tune of "Whirlwinds of Danger" ("Warszawianka"), composed by Józef Pławiński. The lyrics written by Valeriano Orobón Fernández in 1936 were partly based on the original Polish lyrics by Wacław Święcicki.

    "The Confederation" referred to in the final stanza is the anarcho-syndicalist CNT (Spanish: Confederación Nacional del Trabajo — "National Confederation of Labor"), which at the time was the largest labour union, the main anarchist organisation in Spain, and from 1936 to 1939 were a major force opposing Francisco Franco's military coup against the Spanish Republic.

    Lyrics

    Spanish Catalan English translation

    Negras tormentas agitan los aires
    nubes oscuras nos impiden ver.
    Aunque nos espere el dolor y la muerte
    contra el enemigo nos llama el deber.

    El bien más preciado es la libertad
    hay que defenderla con fe y con valor.

    Alza la bandera revolucionaria
    que del triunfo sin cesar nos lleva en pos.
    Alza la bandera revolucionaria
    que del triunfo sin cesar nos lleva en pos.

    En pie el pueblo obrero, a la batalla
    hay que derrocar a la reacción.

    ¡A las barricadas! ¡A las barricadas!
    por el triunfo de la Confederación.
    ¡A las barricadas! ¡A las barricadas!
    por el triunfo de la Confederación.

    Negres tempestes agiten els aires
    núvols sinistres enceguen l'esguard.
    Encara que ens esperi la mort més cruenta
    contra l'adversari havem de lluitar.

    L'única riquesa és la llibertat
    i cal defensar-la amb coratge i fe.

    Alta la bandera revolucionària
    que sens repòs ens mena al triomf del nostre anhel.
    Alta la bandera revolucionària
    que sens repòs ens mena al triomf del nostre anhel.

    Dempeus tot el poble, tots a la lluita
    esfondrem amb fúria la reacció!

    A les barricades! A les barricades!
    Per la victòria de la Confederació.
    A les barricades! A les barricades!
    Per la victòria de la Confederació.

    Black storms shake the air
    Dark clouds blind us
    Even if pain and death awaits us
    Duty calls us against the enemy

    The most precious good is freedom
    We must defend it with faith and courage

    Raise the revolutionary flag
    Which carries us ceaselessly towards triumph
    Raise the revolutionary flag
    Which carries us ceaselessly towards triumph

    Get up, working people, to the battle
    have to topple the reaction

    To the Barricades! To the Barricades!
    For the triumph of the Confederation
    To the Barricades! To the Barricades!
    For the triumph of the Confederation
