[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]Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too
[03:46.000]Peter Daly, Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar
[03:50.000]Though many died I can but name a few
[03:55.000]Danny Boyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly
[04:00.000]Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls
[04:05.000]Jack Nalty, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy
[04:11.000]Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill
[04:16.000]Viva la Quinta Brigada
[04:20.000]"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight
[04:25.000]"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside
[04:30.000]Let us all remember them tonight
