More Republican songs from the Spanish civil war than you can shake a stick at, with lyrics and MP3s:

The most famous would be "A las barricadas", "Ay Carmela" (which has a movie made with it as a theme) and, of course, the International.

That said, our Civil war gave us all dead relatives on each front and convinced us that a) war is horrible, and b) the good guys don't always win, even if half of them would just uphold a different brand of dictatorship. We did not regain democracy in the battlefront but on the streets, and with terrorist group ETA announcing yesterday a permanent ceasefire, it seems that diplomacy and lawfully upholding human rights sometimes beats open confrontation.

(Didn't I celebrate? Yay for the end of terrorism in Spain, at least the Basque kind of it)
