¡Ay Carmela! is one of the most famous songs of the Spanish Republican troops during the Spanish Civil War. Many versions of the song developed, and it isn't possible to pinpoint a single author. The song was adapted from a 19th-century folk song, El Paso del Ebro, which commemorated the routing of Napoleonic troops across the river Ebro in 1807.
The sentence 'Luchamos contra los moros' (We fight against the Moors) refers to the Regulares, the Moroccan units who fought alongside the Nationalists.
