Context:
By Chicho Sanchez Ferlosio. The „Solidarios“ was one of the armed groups operating from the illegal underground. Only its members Buenaventura Durruti, Fransisco Ascaso and Juan García Oliver are mentioned in the song. The group was part of the anarcho-syndicalist union „Confederación Nacional del Trabajo“ (CNT), which was the largest union in Spain with about 2 million members until it was banned in 1939 and played a central role in the struggle against the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco.
Original
Historia de tres amigos de la dulce libertad
si se hicieron anarquistas no fue por casualidad
Buenaventura Durruti, Ascaso y Garcia Oliver
llamados los solidarios que desprecian el poder
Buscados y perseguidos por el campo y la ciudad
si acabaron en la carcel no fue por casualidad
Buenaventura Durruti, Ascaso y Garcia Oliver
tres hojas de trebol negro contra el viento del poder
Siguiendo con su costumbre de burlar la autoridad
si cruzaron la frontera no fue por casualida
Buenaventura Durruti, Ascaso y Garcia Oliver
la sombra negra del pueblo contra el brillo del poder
Despues de una temporada se volvieron para aca
si temblaron los burgueses no fue por casualidad
Buenaventura Durruti, Ascaso y Garcia Oliver
tres balas negras de plomo que apuntan al poder (2X)

three black cloverleafs against the wind of power
Following their custom of kidding the authority
If they crossed the border, it wasn’t by chance

the black shadow of the people against the glow of the power
After a season they came back here
If the bourgeois trembled, it was not by chance
Buenaventura Durruti, Ascaso and Garcia Oliver
three black lead bullets pointing to the power
