Looking for Spain's national Anthem "La Marcha Granadera". Currently it is a song without words, which were removed during the Franco regime. I would like any or all editions of the lyrics to it especially the now "banned" earlier franco version.

Here are the versions according to web sources:

"King Alfonso XIII had lyrics written by the theatrical author Luis Marquina, but it didn't work out.

During the second republic 1931-1939 a different anthem, by Rafael del Riego, was in use.

During his dictatorship Franco had writer José María Pemán pen lyrics in agreement with the political policies of the time. They began: "Glory to Spain, raise your arms, children of Spain . . . ." These verses, although sung for a time in the schools, were abandoned when Franco's dictatorship left its Fascist past to try to come closer to United States and Europe. "
