Spanish term or phrase: a por ellos, oé
Hi colleagues,

It's for the Spanish-English pair.

In the context of the leaving of the Guardia Civil forces towards Catalonia and some people saying goodbye and singing "a por ellos", referring to the Catalan people.

Thanks!

Reference information:
Para que te sirva de referencia, el "A por ellos" fue una canción que usó la selección española de fútbol para un mundial. Después se siguió usando para competiciones deportivas. Y luego se usó al "despedir" a la guardia civil que fue a Cataluña para el referéndum del 1 de octubre. Aquí te dejo para tu referencia en enlace del vídeo del "A por ellos, oé" original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_KDXhCFaTs

@Maria Asis - me acabo de dar cuenta que el comentario este mío es totalmente irrelevante para ti - ¡en algún momento me he inventado la persona que hacía esta pregunta era británica! :-)
