I love Wir sind des Geyers Schwarze Haufen which was originally a German march that celebrated Florian Geyer's peasant rebellion against tyranny.

Too bad it was ruined by Nazi autists adopting it.

Geyer's black-clad gang are we, heia oho,
And we will wipe out tyranny, heia oho.

Pikemen ho! Forward go!
On the cloister roof let the red cock crow!
Pikemen ho! Forward go!
On the cloister roof let the red cock crow!

Our Lord in Heaven, to you we pray, Kyrieleis,
That we those Papish priests might slay, Kyrieleis.

CHORUS

When Adam delved, and Eve span, Kyrieleis,
Who was then the gentleman? Kyrieleis.

CHORUS.

No more Bishop, Monk, or Lord, heia oho,
We'll live our lives by Holy Word, heia oho.

CHORUS.

Florian Geyer leads us on, outlawed and banned,
A peasant's boot for his pennon, but his armour is grand.

CHORUS

He brought to Weinberg fire and smoke, heia oho,
We gave to many their death stroke, heia oho.

CHORUS

The nobles' daughters, mark them well, heia oho,
We'll send to the very depths of Hell, heia oho.

CHORUS

Beaten, we sneak home by night, heia oho,
Our sons will wage a better fight, heia oho.

CHORUS

Vive la Internationale!

And from my own country, I love the San Lorenzo March, which is the official march of the Argentine Army and it's considered one of the most beautiful military marches in the world.

So much so that it was exchanged with several countries, and as a result it was played during the coronations of George V and Elizabeth II of the UK, during the takeover of Paris by the Nazis, and again by the American army during the Liberation of Paris to "cleanse" the song.

It is also played during the Change of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.

Lyrics:

Phoebus rises, and now his rays
light up the historic convent.
Behind its walls, the muffled sounds
of steeds and steel can be heard.
They are the hosts being prepared
by San Martín to fight in San Lorenzo.
Then the clarion stridently sounded
and the voice of the great chief
ordered the charge.

The enemy advances
at redoubled path,
To the wind deployed
their red banner.
To the wind deployed
their red banner.
And our grenadiers
allied with glory
write down in history
their best page.
Write down in history
their best page.

Cabral, heroic soldier,
was covered in glory
and as price for that victory
he gave up his life, becoming immortal.
And there his boldness saved
the raising freedom
of half a continent.
Honour, honour to great Cabral!

(interlude and repeat last 4 lines)

That video is trash though, sorry.

Here is a better plain instrumental version.
