Viva la Quinte Brigada - Christy Moore

[00:00.74]Viva La Quinte Brigada - Christy Moore
[00:15.21]Ten years before I saw the light of morning
[00:20.1]A comradeship of heroes was laid
[00:25.01]From every corner of the world came sailing
[00:29.59]The Fifth International Brigade
[00:34.92]They came to stand beside the Spanish people
[00:39.64]To try and stem the rising fascist tide
[00:44.65]Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy
[00:49.6]Frank Ryan's men came from the other side
[00:55.03]Even the olives were bleeding
[00:59.54]As the battle for Madrid it thundered on
[01:04.46]Truth and love against the force of evil
[01:09.479996]Brotherhood against the fascist clan
[01:14.87]Viva la Quinta Brigada
[01:19.2]"No Pasaran" the pledge that made them fight
[01:24.08]"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside
[01:29.21]Let us all remember them tonight
[01:34.259995]Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor
[01:39.1]Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came
[01:44.06]From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother
[01:49.07]Side by side they fought and died in Spain
[01:53.89]Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba
[01:58.84]With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun
[02:03.69]From Dublin to the Villa del Rio
[02:08.83]Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun
[02:13.79]Viva la Quinta Brigada
[02:18.4]No Pasaran the pledge that made them fight
[02:23.68]Adelante is the cry around the hillside
[02:28.61]Let us all remember them tonight
[02:33.63]Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco
[02:38.44]Joined Hitler and Mussolini too
[02:43.3]Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers
[02:48.3]Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew
[02:53.56]The word came from Maynooth "support the Nazis"
[02:58.45999]The men of cloth failed again
[03:03.06]When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire
[03:08.1]As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain
[03:13.46]Viva la Quinta Brigada
[03:17.87]No Pasaran the pledge that made them fight
[03:22.97]Adelante is the cry around the hillside
[03:28.19]Let us all remember them tonight
[03:33.05]This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan
[03:37.73]Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too
[03:42.7]Peter Daly Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar
[03:47.81]Though many died I can but name a few
[03:52.70999]Danny Boyle Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly
[03:57.61]Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls
[04:02.37]Jack Nalty Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy
[04:07.47]Jim Foley Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill
[04:12.55]Viva la Quinta Brigada
[04:17.36]No Pasaran the pledge that made them fight
[04:22.31]Adelante is the cry around the hillside
[04:27.37]Let us all remember them tonight
[04:32.36]Viva la Quinta Brigada
[04:37.59]Viva la Quinta Brigada
