Title: Spanish Legion military music Post by: Solideo on 30 August 2009, 18:17:52 Hi, after sometime I have decided to participate in this forum trying to have some fun and learning new things.
First of all I have to apologize for my English, it´s so limited so sometimes perhaps I don´t get the inner meanings of the posts or cannot explain myself in a correct way to make my posting some kind of comprehensive post. I am specialized in Spanish Legion, so I think I will post about it´s military music in this field (marches) , although if administrator thinks it would be located in any other place I will understand perfectly because I don´t manage this ok yet. I am introducing some trumpets I like, first of all is from an old movie, very short and as you can see it´s in Sahara times. The legionary uses a “siroquera” for covering from dust and sun. Rest are inner shows for legionaries and families or for public before any parade. Corneta La Legion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PurYlrGXCNw#normal) Legión Española, el mejor cornetín de su historia. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIDXG0ootHs#normal) la legion en zaragoza solo de cornetin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v85gI6ya58&feature=related#normal) Next songs, thanks all, hope you like Title: Re: Spanish Legion military music Post by: Rattler on 30 August 2009, 23:08:41 Solideo, great stuff! The 2nd really is so soft and detailed, didnt know you could do it with the cornetín (we have 2 in the village, but no mouth pieces, so you know what to bring... :) should ou ever visit, that is... :).
Any chance you could find a list (accoustically preferred, but notes will also do, we can then transfrom them at least into sound) of the Legion´s Horn signals and their meaning?

The 2nd really is so soft and detailed, didnt know you could do it with the cornetín (we have 2 in the village, but now mouth pieces, so you know what to bring... :) should ou ever visit, that is... :). Any chance you could find a list (accoustically preferred, but notes will also do, we can then transfrom them at least into sound) of the Legion´s Horn signals and their meaning? Rattler Hi Rattler, I will try to complain you, there was a page with all the spanish horn signal and meaning but doesn´t work. Spanish Legion is based in Infantry, so signals are the same. Here is a link http://www.unamu.org/ (http://www.unamu.org/) whre inside military music (música militar) you can find some of the most famous Spanish military songs, including Legion´s. Anyway I will put the Legion songs I find with it´s videos. I don´t surrender, I will try to find those horny )LOL) signals. El Novio de la muerte (Grooms of Death). Really a love story, a man who lost his beloved woman and decided not having other love than his flag and joined the Legion to find death and meet her as soon as possible. A legend for us La Legion (Spain)- Novio de la Muerte - Subtitulada (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zaVLWih8vg#normal) La cancion del legionario (Legionary song). Our hymn. This is recorded in IV Bandera del 2º Tercio Duque de Alba, one of the Banderas I was, although in my period we were more than 100% more men. This Bandera is placed in what´s called "A Position" García Aldave in Ceuta and this was the first official quarter Legion had in history. Actually almost empty just used for special acts and occupied by standard army section of Legion services. (what a pity and terrible pain in my heart) Before song is prayed one of our "spirits" from our creed (12). "La bandera de la legión" (Legion´s flag). It´s a curiosity the creed has changed in these years with different points of view among legionaries. In my time we said "La bandera de la legion es la mas gloriosa porque esta teñida con la sangre de sus legionarios" (Legion´s flag is the most glorious because it´s tinted with its legionaries blood). Actually it´s said "La bandera de la legion será la mas gloriosa porque la teñiran la sangre de sus legionarios" (Legion flag will be the most glorious becaus it will be tinted with its legionaries blood) Some legionaries think the use of future in creed is a lost of respect to the more than 10.000 legionaries dead in past times. Some think it must not be so, but that new use of the future means we will still dying for our flag forever. Just a comment for giving some more than music to post. Canción del Legionario. (Legión Española) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdkgLJ_EAo4&feature=PlayList&p=7E2C953B485D0094&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=4#normal) Title: Re: Spanish Legion military music Post by: Rattler on 31 August 2009, 16:20:55 Hi Rattler, I will try to complain you, -snip- Wrong address: Complaints to Koen please :whistle: ...there was a page with all the spanish horn signal and meaning but doesn´t work. Spanish Legion is based in Infantry, so signals are the same.-snip- I don´t surrender, I will try to find those horny (LOL) signals. That´s the spirit! :champ: Just out of curiosity, are they the same as for Marine Infantry (Infantes)? If so, they are probably the same than the US signals, because Spanish Marines were modelled exactly (down to uniform and equipment) along the US Marines Corps. Rattler Title: Re: Spanish Legion military music Post by: Koen on 31 August 2009, 19:56:11 great stuff guys...this gives us an insight on stuff that is difficult to find...
keep going! :salute: Title: Re: Spanish Legion military music Post by: Solideo on 31 August 2009, 20:18:56 Just out of curiosity, are they the same as for Marine Infantry (Infantes)? If so, they are probably the same than the US signals, because Spanish Marines were modelled exactly (down to uniform and equipment) along the US Marines Corps. Rattler Spanish marine infantry is the older in the world. They were founded in 1537. Actually as most special units they try to look like USMC because of their operative actions. More info (in spanish) where you can see uniformity, vehicles, etc. They belong to navy not army.

Rattler Title: Re: Spanish Legion military music Post by: Rattler on 5 September 2009, 22:40:25 El Novio de la muerte (Grooms of Death). Really a love story, a man who lost his beloved woman and decided not having other love than his flag and joined the Legion to find death and meet her as soon as possible. A legend for us La Legion (Spain)- Novio de la Muerte - Subtitulada ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zaVLWih8vg#normal[/url]) I will take the translations bit by bit, please correct where I am erring (as I took some liberties, tried rather to capture the spirit than the word...): Quote None of the Third knew Who was the legionary so bold and reckless who joined the Legion. No one knew his history, but the Legion assumed that it was a great pain that gnawed like a wolf, at his heart. If anyone asked with pain, and rudely, he would answer: I am a man whom destiny hurt with a fierce paw; I am the groom of death who will compromise himself together in strong bound with such loyal company. When the fire would be roughest and the fight would be fiercest defending his flag the legionnaire would advance. And without fearing the thrust of the excalted enemy he knew how to die as a brave man and giving example to the next ones in line. And sprinkling with his blood the burning earth, the legionaire murmured in a voice full of pain: I am a man whom destiny wounded with a fierce paw; I am the groom of death who will compromise himself together in strong bound with such loyal company. When they finally collected him (from the field), on his chest they found A letter and a portrait of a divine woman. And that letter said: "... if one day God should call you, a place for me I claim, and I will immediately go searching for you". And in the last kiss that he sent her, he devoted his last farewell. "To go at your side, my most loyal companion (his girl, R.), I became the groom of death, I struck with the strong bond and your lost love became my *Flag*!"

La legión canta "pobrecitos marinos infelices" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J8td3b6s44#normal) Rattler Title: Re: Spanish Legion military music Post by: Solideo on 6 September 2009, 11:32:36 Solideo, what is the story behind this one ("poor, unhappy Marines")? La legión canta "pobrecitos marinos infelices" ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J8td3b6s44#normal[/url]) Rattler It is "pobrecitos MARIDOS Infelices" not marinos. So Poor unhappy husbands. Spanish lyrics Pobrecitos maridos infelices, que tenéis la testuz como un carnero, viviréis contentos y felices, alistados al Tercio de Extranjeros. Son tres pesetas, bien comido y bien bebido, tendrás fama de león, aunque seas un cabrito en la Legión. Comida sana y abundante, la que dan en el Tercio de Extranjeros, cocinada por cuatro o seis mangantes, a los cuales llamamos los rancheros. Una sopita, un cocidito y la cabeza de un besuguito y un vasito de vino peleón, ese es el menú de la Legión. Yo no sé qué se han creído en el Tercio de Extranjeros, que nos tienen comparados con peones camineros, jo jo jo porón pon pon Desde que se inventó el pico y la pala, con el pico y la pala nos están dando la lata. Éste que está presente tres picos rompió y al día siguiente pasó al pelotón, y ese otro que en su pueblo, se las daba de sereno, con el hambre que pasaba se alistó al Tercio de Extranjeros, jo jo jo porón pon pon A los cuatro días cabo interino lo hicieron, le vino la propuesta firmada por los rancheros, le quitan los galones por ser un mangante, y al día siguiente le hacen machacante. Se ha portado bien en las operaciones, todas las medallas y todos los galones los lleva colgado de los cojones. Acabo de recibir... chin pum (bis) noticias frescas de mi país (bis) Se está poniendo España en tan malas condiciones que se está desarrollando el gremio de maricones. Como siga así la cosa con tan poco disimulo se va a hacer pequeño el mundo para ir a tomar por culo. ¡Cómprate una gabardina, cabrón! Translation is your work, I run out of time and English nowledges aswell, sorry.
