Christy Moore - Viva la Quinta Brigada. Live at Barrowland Glasgow
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2011
- Around the time I saw the light of morning
A comradeship of heroes was laid
From every corner of the world came sailing
The Fifty 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 Killarney 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 Dick O'Neill.
(Chorus repeated)
You, people of Ireland, will never been forget. Your blood is in our soul. I´m from Spain
Thank you sir.
@Poison Chang don't know what does it means 'div', sorry
God bless dá Spanish 🇮🇪
God bless you mo cara

Im a grandson of a Yugoslav Partisan. There were many Yugoslavs in the Spanish civil war. Viva International Brigades! ☭
Yes and the great leader. TITO was fighting at the front, viva the brotherhood ✊
I’m from Ireland living in California, that was a war that would have been a proud battle scar. Fighting for the poor workers in Spain against the fascists
From a grandson of an antifascist fighter in the Aragon front (wounded twice), all I can say is 'Smrt fašizmu, sloboda narodu!'. Glory to the Yugoslav partisans and to all partisans from all over the planet.
Но Пасаран!
Gracias ❤️ NO PASARÁN !
About 650 men came from Sweden. A third of them died. International solidarity in its purest form. Never forget them!
It was the first battle of ww2
Respect. It was part of our history lessons at school in Ireland.
What does it mean?
@@marcgarrigosmane166no it wasn't.
The spanish civil war...
Just before WW2.
My grandad was there🙏🏽🍀he got wounded in Cordoba n got shipped home to Ireland where he was promptly locked up🙈
I'm from a wee mining town east of Edinburgh and 8 volunteers left their jobs down the pit to fight fascism. All returned home.✊✊✊
God bless them
Fighting against the rising fascist times
I'm from Spain and this song made me cry. Thank you from the heart. Camaradas, no pasarán!

Bolloxs you soros muppet
Hahahaha
Independent Republican Scotland. 26+6=1. FTQ.
Ffs, im just an average Spaniard living in a shithole in Madrid, but this bastard's brought me to tears. No wonder he's a true HERO nowadays, bringing to life the memory and hearts of all the brave souls who perished in the name of JUSTICE and LOVE, foreseing a BETTER WORLD for ALL of OUR CHILDREN.
THANK YOU CHRISTY MOORE!!!.
God bless you brother.
Glasgow has a statue for the 100 ood figthers from this city but it is ignored and abused.
Check out his song called Ordinary Man, I think you'll like it
The ordinariss of evil is embodied in Franco. What he did to the Spanish people and their new democracy was a fore taste of the next 12 years across the world.
Well said
We in Ireland love the Spanish
A great country. Viva Espana
My father's cousin tried to assasinate Franco.,got 20 years in jail his name was Stuart Christie. A Scotsman ,From blantyre.
That is certainly something to be proud of
can confirm, also have a link
Fair play to the man... a hero in my book.
Proudly stand against The far right wing
Could you pick up his legacy and try with Abascal? We need help again
A big hug for everyone who love this song. ¡Viva La República!
Terry Oneill dont u know lots of irish people went to help the national side because they saw it as a religous crusade??
Yes idiot, the song points that out.

Eternal thanks to the brave Irish who fought in our Civil War against fascism ... you will always be in our hearts , along with the thousands of volunteers who fought for a better world ... Long live the International Brigades ! Viva la República!
Alberto Amarilla Pérez viva comrade
Coño, hubo unos 700 que vinieron para luchar con Franco. No te pases, amigo.
Don’t forget the Scots, English and Welsh. Heroes to a man.
Lots fought for fascism too
Love the Spanish.from O'Neill
As a Spaniard, thanks to all those who fought to defend democracy against fascism, today and always we will not give up
Communists aren't really into democracy are they?
Democracy sucks tbh
My grandpa (may heaven keep his soul) was a Catalan Republican who fought against Franco's troops for 17 months in a fecking trench with water up to the knee, then he was captured and put in a concentracion camp. He managed to escape and walked back home, more than 1.000 km through forests and mountains. He told me how he fought alongside Canadian, American and Irish folks. Thank yous for your service, for fighting side by side with me 19 year old grandad, trying to keep the fascists away from my land. Forever grateful to those brave people. Cheers from a Catalan Republican who loves Éire and its folk. Visca Catalunya lliure! Tiocfaidh ár lá! Gora Euskal Herria!
Paio, I'd love to hear his story. Maybe when I'm on holidays in Girona, which I do every year.
@@roryobrien4401 That'd be great, sure! Girona is my hometown, so that would be easy to arrange. Cheerio!
I'm 55 now but when I was 19 I knew some old boys who had been over fighting Franco.There is a monument in Glasgow to them.
Your grandad is a hero.
@@GerryBolger Thank you very much, he was a hero at least to me, and I loved him so much. He got a medal from the Republican Government during war for "bravery in time of need", for securing the supplies during an airstrike, but when the fascists got in power they stripped him of it.
A song and a performance that I cannot hear without chills. From a Spanish woman eternally grateful to the brave and generous volunteers of the International Brigades, especially the Irish. ¡Viva la Quince Brigada! ¡Adelante, compañeros! NO PASARÁN✊🏼
NO PASARÁN✊🏼
THEY LOST.
@@smithwhite7199 THEY LOST. That's why Spain is a democracy today and not a communist state.

I am a proud scouser, many citizens of Liverpool fought with the international brigades(probably mistaken for Irish)We still fight against the right wingers politics in London. Thanks Christy, this song is all that needs to be said.
75% allegedly of liverpool population is of irish decent an no reference to football, red army
Liverpool’s the heart of the Irish English forced to leave the homeland bc the poteen famine!
My name sake told me growing up uncle patsy and every story he told me he had a tear in his eye an every man he cough with no religion against fascist an good men from England Scotland Ireland Wales an around the world fought for that cause an you be proud because I am God bless freedom
Right on Philip 💪
The only prob is the left are starting to resemble the right.
Thanx to our irish and scottish brothers from Galiza and respect for all the antifascist all over the world and specially for all the spaniards antifascist during spanish civil war.
I've just discovered this amazing song with these wonderful lyrics. Thank you the Irish and the Scots! We the Republican Spaniards will always admire the ones who fought for liberty within the International Brigades!

From Spain you should know better that it is QUINCE BRIGADA not the quinta. :)
But yes, viva la Quince Brigada AND the Quinto one too!
Creo que había 9 brigadas nacionales y cinco internacionales, por lo que podría referir a la quinta brigada internacional o la XIV. Pero no estoy seguro!

Julio Clementson era la 15 brigada
My mums brother hitch hiked to Spain to fight he was from north of England. At the end he managed to escape to
France and got home to UK. He lost his life on D Day. I’ve inherited his diaries and am in the process of donating them to the Imperial War Museum❤
God bless him for all he did. We must bow take up their stand against the facist waves all over the world .
make sure you get deeds of ownership before donating them.
Bendiciones un honor gracias
Great story 🇨🇮🍀
Your mom's brother is a real hero.
My grandfather's brother fought in Spain in 1937. He died in 1942 defending Stalingrad.

My German grandfather trotted off to fight with the Republicans in the battle for Madrid in '36. He survived and was locked up in KZ Boergermoor on his return. He was 52 at the time. He lived to tell the tale until death eventually caught up with him at 87.
Great grandfather, honor
That is a wonderful legacy you have.
Mid thirties when national socialism was taking hold in Germany... crazy time
It sure was a crazy time. And the sad part is, the world learned nothing from the catastrophy and slaughter and are doing our best to repeat it on a worldwide scale.

@@donnchadhm14 The International Brigades during the Spanish Civil war where working with and under control of the NKVD , a brutal group who where basicly murdering people .

Geeez read a book people
im from spain..., i'm criying right now.. thanks all of you.
Viva la quinta brigada, viva la Republica.
_So am I and I'm Irish..._
As a Mexican, thanks Ireland. Deep thanks, for helping us back on the days during our war against the US... anyways, different times. Cheers !
yo if you have not heard David Rovics - The St. Patrick Battalion, check it out!
@@DrugLagoon good song. Thanks Ireland
@@DrugLagoon I will do brother, I will do !. I saw the Kilkenny's here in Germany, awesome concert and I almost cried with a song that reminds me of my mother :')
The mexicans are irish with a sun tan 😎 we have so much in common 🇲🇽💪🇮🇪
There is a whole album about this episode of Irish history, called San Patricio by The Chieftains. A mix of traditional Irish and Mexican music about the Irish who fought alongside Mexicans during the US/Mexican war. It's a great piece of music too!
As a Republican, I feel proud and very grateful to all these people who gave their lives to fight against the fascism of a dictator like Franco, you will always be in our hearts, Long live the Fifth Brigade, Thank you Christy Moore for this beautiful song.
Now we have facists in the US. Thanks to Mr. Trump.
Scottish crowd here.. . And still to this day we are fighting against fascism and for our independence
The day will come, Saor Alba.
If not in 5 or 10 years, eventually, even if it takes 100 years. We will be free again to rule our own affairs without interference from another countries majority voter base and establishment.
Do not forget the people who joined the International Brigade did so out of principle, they resisted pressure from the church and elsewhere. We should all acknowledge that and raise a glass to them wherever they came from
I get the shivers every time I hear this song respect to every one that fights against the forces of evil..🇮🇪
One if the best songs ever made
I hope you feel the same about Irish people supporting the fascists in ukraine? God bless Russia 🇷🇺 respect from socialist Liverpool
The republicans murdered priests. They were just as evil.
God Bless you all, such a great tribute, The Liverpool Irish love you all Y.N.W.A
Spain was always worth fighting for. A wonderful country with a rich culture and history that gave Europe so much.
Thanks Rob!!! Really appreciated
Very fitting that he sang this in Glasgow as there was many many Scottish volunteers joined the International Brigade in their fight against evil 🙏🏼🏴🇮🇪
My old grandpa joined fifth Brigade, 16 yrs old. Spanish distrusted them, hardly ever fed them and gave them all the shit objectives. But Irish and Scottish volunteers died not for a country but for a common cause of freedom against evil and for equality for every free man... 🇨🇮🦄🏴🍀
Even that it was in the Barras, an Irish Enclave in the city . Beautiful song
Which side was it that murdered over 5000 priests and nuns? Fight against evil? LOL.
Christy knows his stuff❤
Greetings from ireland,
I have endless respect for the struggles of Irish Republicans who fought for independence just as the Spanish and Catalan people fought for freedom from Fascism. This is an incredible song so rich and full of raw history.
with the help of the irish
what it doesnt say is how much of a mess the republicans were in due ro the NKVD interferance.
sound
Per capita Scotland contributed most to the international brigades.
As long as I know, Catalan people are Spanish people too. Sadly for the Republic's fate, Catalonia fought its own Civil War between fascists, republicans and left-revolutionaries until 1937... And Barcelona didn't try to resist as Madrid did for three years, even with the european conflict so near which, as president Negrín said, will force France and the UK to join the fight in Spain. Anyway, all our gratitude to the people who came from all over the world just to help and fight against fascism on this lost nook. Maybe one of the greatest solidarity fact, it will never be a defeact while some of us will still be remembering them.
Absolutely love this song...im a British citizen living in Ireland...a proud and beautiful country and christy Moore embodies Irish pride and patriotism and all that should make Irish people proud !
James Ryle Plenty of Brits fought in Spain they passed thru my Grandmother’s house for a meal then were taken to the Cross Channel ferries in Southampton
Edward Reed Lots of brave idealistic British men fought for the Spanish republic, hope they are never forgotten. Be very proud of them, pity men of that stature are few and far between today.I salute them and my people who went.
@@jimhealy8790 .... I'll always remember my Grandfather (who fought in N. Africa and Italy) teaching me the phrase 'no pasaran' when i was a kid. As a Scot that now lives in Dublin, this song speaks to both the love of my adopted country and the men who fought the fascists, more than i can say.
Really?
Go home
From Spain, eternally grateful to all those brave and just Irish men and women who fought in my country for the justice, democracy and freedom, Viva la Republica! Viva la Quinta Brigada! Viva Irlanda! No Pasaran!!

I can't even imagine how hard it must be to go to war to defend your country, knowing that you will probably die. But even less I can imagine how someone can go to fight and die for another country that is not theirs. Glory and eternal thanks to those Irish who fought and died for Spain and democracy
They fought for an ideal. They had noble spirits.
They were our people.
They came from all over the world not just Ireland and they fought for international freedom and democracy everywhere
I cry everytime I listen to this
It is a lovely and very moving song.
I have to say I also cry and I play this song often because it is so important to remember the men and women who fought the Facists. How brave were they to travel to Spain and take up arms against the criminal Franco.
There was 30.000 man in the international brigade,fighting side by side with the Spanish people,i always remember them😢
Gracias a todos los brigadistas internacionales , gracias por vuestro sacrificio y por vuestras vidas.El pueblo español jamás os olvidará. NO PASARAN!

Beautiful
Visca catalunya, gora euskadi, nice name by the way
I Remember about 20year ago in the Toolbooth bar, Glasgow a man named Gerry Mcgregor was singing this song. And randomly a Spanish family walked in (tourists obviously) and I watched them as they absorbed what we where all singing. It was a beautiful moment and a big surprise for them!
Big Gerry was some chanter. Sorely missed 🏴🇮🇪
Always in our hearts. Thank you! Respect from Spain
¡NO PASARÁN!
Huge respect and gratefulness from Bosnian and Yugoslavian. Our brave fathers understood the danger and evil of fascism and give their lives to stop it together in Spain in International brigades. Sacrifice that is unimaginable in today's world. Big respect to Irish nation and their free spirit. Slava to all anti-fascist in the world. Viva la Quinta Brigada!
I am an English Republican and this song always moves me. When these brave heroes made their way to Spain they did not do it on a cheap Ryanair flight. It took an enormous amount of courage and physical effort to get there in the first place. Then to fight not for a country but for an ideal against the evil of fascism
Viva la Quinta brigada. Nunca Os Olvidamos. NO PASARAN
Magníficas palabras, lucharon por la libertad, en su más amplio sentido, contra la reacción, el nacionalismo y el fascismo.
