Thanks to cnd and Phillip for the lyrics. I have just emailed Rory McLeod to ask for confirmation that these are accurate and to ask for further information about the song . When I get a reply I will post lyrics and information on the Mudcat Songs in English About the Spanish Civil War Permathread

Oops, I meant to address my post to Geoff, not Rory. My mistake!

Rory, the lyrics have surfaced: https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=167730#4051732

I was uncertain of two lines which were subsequently aided by Phillip.

In case you also missed my message on that thread, I've linked it here and I'll also re-iterate my opinion that the best place to get info about the song is from the singer himself: http://www.rorymcleod.com/

I haven't tried to contact Rory, but since you seem rather passionate about this song and songs of the Spanish Civil War in general, I think you'd be in a much better position to learn from him than I.
