Christy Moore - Viva La Quince Brigada

Christy Moore wrote the song about the Irishmen who went to Spain to fight against Franco and the fascists during the Spanish Civil War. It has been sung by many singers and groups since.The tune dates back to the Napoleonic Wars according to Christy Moore in his book "One Voice", written in 1983 whilst he was in Spain and inspired by Mick O'Riordan's book "the Connolly Column". A website detailing the involvement of the Irish in the Spanish Civil War: http://www.geocities.com/Irela... La Quince BrigadaChristy MooreTen years before I saw lhe light of morningA comradeship of heroes was laid.From every corner of the world came sailingThe Fifteenth Inlernational Brigade.They came to stand beside the Spanish people.To try and stem the rising Fascist tideFranco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.Even the olives were bleedingAs the battle for Madrid it thundered on.Truth and love against the force af evil,Brotherhood against the Fascist clan.Chorus:Vive La Quince Brigada!"No Paseran" the pledge that made them fight."Adelante" was the cry around the hillside.Let us all remember them tonight.Bob Hillard was a Church of Ireland pastor;From Killarney across the Pyrenees ho came.From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother.Side by side they fought and died in Spain.Tommy Woods, aged seventeen, died in Cordoba.With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun.From Dublin to the Villa del RioWhere he fought and died beneath the Spanish sun.ChorusMany Irishmen heard the call of Franco.Joined Hitler and Mussolini too.Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapersHelped O'Duffy to enlist his crew.The word came from Maynooth: 'Support the Fascists.'The men of cloth failed yet againWhen the bishops blessed the blueshirts in Dun LaoghaireAs they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain.ChorusThis 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 Doyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly.Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls.Jack Nally, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy,Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill.Chorus
