This article consists of both a hermeneutic and an ethnological interpretation of the ‘Coplas del Comandante Moreno’, a popular ballad about certain events that took place in Galicia during the Spanish Civil War. By understanding the ballad as a case of collective memory, I answer the questions of why it was important for the people to keep it alive, how it reflects the way in which the community saw itself, and what values it transmits. These answers address the social functions carried out by the ballad. I focus specifically on one of them related to its role as collective memory, which I call ‘poetic justice’
