The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA) is an educational non-profit dedicated to promoting social activism and the defense of human rights. ALBA’s work is inspired by the brave American volunteers of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade who fought and died fighting fascism in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). ALBA’s programs include teacher institutes, exhibitions, publications, cultural programs and an annual award for human rights activism, given in partnership with the Puffin Foundation. Drawing on the ALBA collections in New York University’s Tamiment Library, ALBA works to preserve the legacy of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade as an inspiration for present and future generations.

Lyrics
Far and wide as the eye can wander,Heath and bog are everywhere,Not a bird sings out to cheer us,Oaks are standing, gaunt and bare.
[Chorus:]We are the peat bog soldiers.We’re marching with our spades,To the bog.
Up and down the guards are pacing,No one, no one can go through.Flight would mean a sure death facing,Guns and barbed wire greet our view.
But for us there is no complain-ing,Winter will in time be past.One day we shall cry rejoicing,“Homeland dear, you’re mine
at last!”
[Final Chorus:]Then will the peat bog soldiers,March no more with spades,To the bog.
Pet Bog Soldiers
Spaniens Himmel breitet seine SterneÜber unsre Schützengräben ausUnd der Morge grüßt schon aus der FerneBald geht es zu neuem Kampf hinausDie Heimat ist weitDoch wir sind bereitWir kämpfen und siegenFür dich, Freiheit!
Dem Faschisten werden wir nicht weichenSchickt er auch die Kugeln hageldichtMit uns stehn Kameraden ohnegleichen
Und ein Rückwärts gibt es für uns nichtDie Heimat ist weitDoch wir sind bereitWir kämpfen und siegenFür dich, Freiheit!
Rührt die Trommel, fällt die Bajonette!Vorwärts, marsch! Der Sieg ist unser Lohn!Mit der Freiheitsfahne brecht die Kette!Auf zum Kampf, das Thäl-mann-BataillonDie Heimat ist weitDoch wir sind bereitWir kämpfen und sterben
Für dch, Freiheit!We’ll not yield a foot to Fran-co’s fascists,Even though the bullets fall like sleet.With us stand those peerless men, our comrades,And for us there can be no retreat. Chorus.
Beat the drums and get the bayonets ready.Forward march! For vict’ry’s our reward.With the scarlet banner smash the shacklesInto battle with Thaelmann’s mighty sword. Chorus
Freiheit
There’s a valley in Spain called Jaramait’s a place that we all know so wellwhere we all learned the true cost of freedomand so many of our brave comrades fell.
We are proud of the Lincoln Battalionand the fight for Madrid that it made
there they fought like true sons of the peopleas part of the Fifteenth Bri-gade.
Now we’re far from that valley of sorrowbut its memory we’ll never forgetso before we conclude this reunionlet us honor our glorious dead.
There´s a valley in Spain called Jarama…
Jarama Valley

Lyrics
Los moros que trajo Francoen Madrid quieren entrar.Los moros que trajo Francoen Madrid quieren entrar. Mientras quede un milicianolos moros no pasarán.Mientras quede un milicianolos moros no pasarán.Si me quieres escribirya sabes mi paradero.Si me quieres escribirya sabes mi paradero.Tercera Brigada Mixta,primera línea de fuego.
Tercera Brigada Mixta,primera línea de fuego.Aunque me tiren el puentey también la pasarela.Aunque me tiren el puentey también la pasarelame verás pasar el Ebro,en un barquito de velame verás pasar el Ebro,en un barquito de vela.Diez mil veces que los tiren,diez mil veces los haremos.Diez mil veces que los tiren,diez mil veces los haremos.
Tenemos cabeza duralos del Cuerpo de Ingenieros.Tenemos cabeza duralos del Cuerpo de Ingenieros.En el Ebro se han hundidolas banderas italianas.En el Ebro se han hundidolas banderas italianas y en los puentes sólo ondeanlas que son republicanasy en los puentes sólo ondeanlas que son republicanas.
Si Me Quieres Escribir
El dieciocho de julio en el patio de un convento el pueblo madrileño fundó el Quinto Regimiento. Venga jaleo, jaleo suena la ametralladora y Franco se va a paseo y Franco se va a paseo.
Con Lister y Campesino, con Galán y con Modesto, con el comandante Carlos,
no hay miliciano con miedo. Venga jaleo, jaleo…
Son los cuatro batallones que Madrid están defendiendo; se va lo mejor de España, la flor más roja del pueblo.
Con el Quinto, Quinto, Quintocon el Quinto Regimiento, madre, yo me voy al frente porque quiero entrar en fuego.
Venga Jaleo (Quinto Regimiento)
