lirik lagu the dubliners - va la quinta brigada
around the time i saw the light of morning
a comradeship of heroes was laid
from every corner of the world came sailing
the fifteenth 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
chorus:
viva la quinta brigada;
no pasaran, the pledge that made them fight
adelante was 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
and 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
he fought and died beneath the spanish sun
chorus
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 call came from maynooth, “support the facists;”
the men of cloth had failed yet again
when the bishops blessed the blueshirts in dun laoghaire
as they sailed beneath the swastika to spain
chorus
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
chorus x2
