| [00:19.000] |
Ten years before I saw the light of morning |
| [00:24.000] |
A comradeship of heroes was laid |
| [00:29.000] |
From every corner of the world came sailing |
| [00:34.000] |
The Fifth International Brigade |
| [00:39.000] |
They came to stand beside the Spanish people |
| [00:43.000] |
To try and stem the rising fascist tide |
| [00:48.000] |
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy |
| [00:53.000] |
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side |
| [00:58.000] |
Even the olives were bleeding |
| [01:03.000] |
As the battle for Madrid it thundered on |
| [01:08.000] |
Truth and love against the force of evil |
| [01:14.000] |
Brotherhood against the fascist clan |
| [01:19.000] |
Viva la Quinta Brigada |
| [01:24.000] |
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight |
| [01:28.000] |
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside |
| [01:33.000] |
Let us all remember them tonight |
| [01:38.000] |
Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor |
| [01:42.000] |
Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came |
| [01:47.000] |
From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother |
| [01:52.000] |
Side by side they fought and died in Spain |
| [01:57.000] |
Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba |
| [02:02.000] |
With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun |
| [02:08.000] |
From Dublin to the Villa del Rio |
| [02:13.000] |
Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun |
| [02:17.000] |
Viva la Quinta Brigada |
| [02:22.000] |
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight |
| [02:27.000] |
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside |
| [02:32.000] |
Let us all remember them tonight |
| [02:37.000] |
Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco |
| [02:42.000] |
Joined Hitler and Mussolini too |
| [02:46.000] |
Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers |
| [02:51.000] |
Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew |
| [02:56.000] |
The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis" |
| [03:02.000] |
The men of cloth failed again |
| [03:06.000] |
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire |
| [03:11.000] |
As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain |
| [03:16.000] |
Viva la Quinta Brigada |
| [03:21.000] |
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight |
| [03:27.000] |
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside |
| [03:31.000] |
Let us all remember them tonight |
| [03:36.000] |
This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan |
| [03:41.000] |

Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill |

Let us all remember them tonight |
