"To The Barricades" (A Las Barricadas) 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 Warszawianka 1905. The lyrics were written by Valeriano Orobón Fernández in 1936.

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

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 llevará al pueblo a la emancipación
 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.

Black storms shake the sky
Dark clouds blind us
Although death and pain await us
Against the enemy we must go

The most precious good
is freedom
And we have to defend it
With courage and faith

Raise the revolutionary flag
Moving us forward with unstoppable triumph (original: carrying the people to emancipation)
Working people march onwards to the battle
We have to smash the reaction (aries)

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