Respect to all those who fought and fight for freedom. Long live Ireland 🇮🇪, Greece 🇬🇷 and all those beautiful, ancient and small nations we fortunately have in Europe.
Not even the powerful Colonial Britain could suppress the relentlessness of the Irish struggles for freedom, no matter how long they ruled over them, there were always the renowned fighting Irish; generation to generation. They're unlike any nation in this way, and it's admirable.
Luke Kelly sings this with such heart. The grief is there, the pride and the anguish. In the old days, the bard who sang of heroic deeds was also esteemed as a hero. That's Luke Kelly.
Makes you feel proud to be Irish, as these brave men and women laid down their lives so we could be free, but we're not free yet as six county's are still in English hands.

It’s like a black spot on your face and to get rid of it is to fight. Ireland has no terrorises and hand over the weapons etc. When SF come into government in the south it’s time for talks and what’s said might be great but if they renege on the peace process it’s back to the provos. They need to live in a 32 county country. We are a peaceful people but the six counties need to be free soon. Ireland unfree will never be at peace ;Patrick Pearce. 26 +6=1 Dáithí Ó Dublin Éire.
Used to hear this song all the time when I was nine years old. It's one of my all time favorite Irish folk songs. When I was 22 years old I actually figured out how to play this song on the piano beginner level and strictly by ear and from recollection. Had only heard it on the key of A and figured it out on the key of E.
The battle might have failed but it sparked the flame. The flame to fight the British no matter what to achieve the goal they wanted the goal for independence
1798 The minstrel boy to the war is gone, In the ranks of death you'll find him; His father's sword he has girded on, And his wild harp slung behind him; "Land of Song!" said the warrior bard, "Though all the world betrays thee, One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, One faithful harp shall praise thee!" The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain Could not bring that proud soul under; The harp he loved ne'er spoke again, For he tore its chords asunder; And said "No chains shall sully thee, Thou soul of love and bravery! Thy songs were made for the pure and free They shall never sound in slavery!"
+Symbolic1 The first clips are from Rebel Heart an RTE production from a few years ago only available on VHS Video cassette. Then there are clips from 'Young Indiana Jones', 'Rebel Heart' and 'Michael Collins'.
Anytime I sing this song, I choose to say "Britannia's sons with their long range guns" because for better or worse, those who fought against Ireland's freedom were sons and were human beings. Human beings are capable of being "Huns" regardless of where they're from. Sad that it came to fighting, but necessary.
Of corse it was all about the 1916 Easter rising as it say those who dies at Easter Time and how we raised the Irish flag and then it names Pearce & cathail brugh Irish leaders learn your history before u comment lads fs.. Up the RA
Only country that fought 800 years for independence, then hand it to the church and then to the E. U., Ireland never got a free independent Republic. 22 August 1922 is when a true Irish Republic died.
An Drúcht Geal Ceo ‘Gabháil síos a’ gleann dom i measc na gcrann Go dtí an chathair aoibhinn shuairc Bhí na slóite teann fána mílte lann A’ teacht aníos gan ghruaim Ní raibh crónán caoin as béalaibh píob Ná drumaí a’ tógáil gleo Ach an clog go binn a’ cur fáilte bhinn Roimh an aingeal sa drúcht geal ceo.

Phill mé aníos fán ghleann arís Is mo chroí bocht lán de bhrón Is mé scartha chóich’ le plúr na laoch Nach bhfeicfinn arís níos mó. Is i lár na hóich’ sea bhímse ag guí Le bhur gcónaí bheith sa ghlóir Nó ruaig sibh na tráill, a fheara Fáil Nuair a thit sibh sa drúcht geal ceo.
+la dodgers 4 life It was written after 1916 but it is about the Easter Rising. The song tells the listener that it was better to fight and die for Ireland rather than to fight and die against the Turks in the Great War.
+la dodgers 4 life that's BS. 'Right proudly high over Dublin town they hung out a flag of war'. 'From the plains of Royal Meath, strong men came hurrying to, while Britania's huns with their long range guns sailed up through the foggy dew. It references the Irish who died at Gallipoli but in saying that 'it was better to die 'neath an Irish sky' with Patrick Pearse and Cathal Brugha. Finally it's dedicated to 'those who died at Easter time' 'so that freedom's light might shine' Whatever gave you the idea it wasn't about the Easter Rising?
+IRISHRASTAPUS what are you talking about? The song clearly says that they should have fought for Ireland, not at Suvla bay etc. You may prefer another version but that's what the song is about.
RIP all who died to make ireland, or at least part of it free... may they're souls rest in peace forever.

The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;
"Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
"Though all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he loved ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!"

An Drúcht Geal Ceo
‘Gabháil síos a’ gleann dom i measc na gcrann
Go dtí an chathair aoibhinn shuairc
Bhí na slóite teann fána mílte lann
A’ teacht aníos gan ghruaim
Ní raibh crónán caoin as béalaibh píob
Ná drumaí a’ tógáil gleo
Ach an clog go binn a’ cur fáilte bhinn
Roimh an aingeal sa drúcht geal ceo.
Chroch siad in airde a mbrat go hard
Os cionn Chaisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath
Níor ní leo bás ‘fháil ag Sud-El-Bar
Agus Éire ina ndiaidh i bpian.
Is ó lár na Mí sea ghluais an scaoth
De laochra líofa beo
Agus slóite Gall a’ bailiú ’nall
A gcuid gunnaí sa drúcht geal ceo.
Ar shiúl mar chadhain, mo chreach is mo léan
Tá na céadta curadh cruaidh
Tá a gcnámha sínte ag Suvla an tsín
Nó fá chósta na mara thuaidh
Dá bhfaigheadh siad bás sa bhaile ar láimh
Leis an Phiarsach tá inniu sa ghlóir
Bheadh a n-uaigh faoin tsliabh i measc na bhFiann
Mar a dtiteann an drúcht geal ceo.
Siad plúr na laoch a thit faraor
I mbriseadh cruaidh na Cásc’
Agus d’fhág siad sinn go cráite tinn
Ag éagaoin fána mbás
Is bhí súile an tsaoil a’ breathnú an ghnímh
A rinne clanna Gael sa ghleo
Na leoin a d’éag le solas gléigeal
Na saoirse sa drúcht geal ceo.
Phill mé aníos fán ghleann arís
Is mo chroí bocht lán de bhrón
Is mé scartha chóich’ le plúr na laoch
Nach bhfeicfinn arís níos mó.
Is i lár na hóich’ sea bhímse ag guí
Le bhur gcónaí bheith sa ghlóir
Nó ruaig sibh na tráill, a fheara Fáil
