TCen years beforeG I saw the light Cof morning
A Ccomradeship of heroes was Flaid
From Fevery corner of the world came Gsailing
The GFifth FInternational CBrigade
They came to stand beside the Spanish people
To try and stem the rising fascist tide
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side
Even the olives were bleeding
As the battle for Madrid it thundered on
Truth and love against the force of evil
Brotherhood against the fascist clan
CHORUS
CViva la Quinta FBrigada
F"No Pasaran&qGuot;, the pledge that Cmade them fight
C"Adelante&quoC/Bt; is the cry aAmround the hillside
FLet us all Gremember them Ctonight
