lirik lagu christy moore - vive la quinte brigada
ten years before i saw the light of morning
a comradeship of heroes was laid
from every corner of the world came sailing
the fifth international brigade
they came to stand beside the spanish people
to try and stem the rising fascist tide
franco’s allies were the powerful and wealthy
frank ryan’s men came from the other side
even the olives were bleeding
as the battle for madrid it thundered on
truth and love against the force of evil
brotherhood against the fascist clan
viva la quinta brigada
“no pasaran”, the pledge that made them fight
“adelante” is the cry around the hillside
let us all remember them tonight
bob hilliard was a church of ireland pastor
form k!llarney across the pyrenees he came
from derry came a brave young christian brother
side by side they fought and died in spain
tommy woods age seventeen died in cordoba
with na fianna he learned to hold his gun
from dublin to the villa del rio
where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun
viva la quinta brigada
“no pasaran”, the pledge that made them fight
“adelante” is the cry around the hillside
let us all remember them tonight
many irishmen heard the call of franco
joined hitler and mussolini too
propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers
helped o’duffy to enlist his crew
the word came from maynooth, “support the n-z-s”
the men of cloth failed again
when the bishops blessed the blueshirts in dun laoghaire
as they sailed beneath the swastika to spain
viva la quinta brigada
“no pasaran”, the pledge that made them fight
“adelante” is the cry around the hillside
let us all remember them tonight
this song is a tribute to frank ryan
kit conway and dinny coady too
peter daly, charlie regan and hugh bonar
though many died i can but name a few
danny boyle, blaser-brown and charlie donnelly
liam tumilson and jim straney from the falls
jack nalty, tommy patton and frank conroy
jim foley, tony fox and d-ck o’neill
viva la quinta brigada
“no pasaran”, the pledge that made them fight
“adelante” is the cry around the hillside
let us all remember them tonight
