This song is entitled 'Mandela' and written by Danny Hannon who lives in the Bronx, NY. One of the people (maybe 'the' first) he gave it to & who recorded it with her band Morning Star' was Mary Courtney of Co. Kerry, now living in the Bronx. She sings it better than anyone I have ever heard. She always credits Danny Hannon, and tells everyone to visit him on MetroNorth where he works as a conductor!

Fabulous song and great singer. Cant understand though how there are so many blatant historical innacuracies contained in the lyrics. For instance, Kevin Barry did not die in a cell as this version of the song states...he was hanged. Similarly Roger Casement was not shot in London...he too was hanged. The proper lyrics as written by Dan Hannon and performed by Pádraig Mór can be heard here on youtube. (Under the songs proper name...Mandela.)
a thought the song was called mandella ? lol not sure bt, amazin song.
"ireland unfree shall never be at peace".
i've gt the terry o'niel version on the shebeen and friends - jackets green album, shebeens an arsehole lol some voice bit, wis wae um fur the kilmarnock game, 3-0 (h5)! he got me talkin tae pat bonner, eh wis in saoirse when it they wur stull playin, hes gt an amazing voice aswell, av got a signed cd cover of robert kerr, the one tht died of cancer, pure shame. God rest.
beautiful song. first heard it sung by harry in celts well santa ponsa..totally choked me.always does wen a hear it. going over to belfast next week for parade..cant wait..god bless.
NO SURRENDER means we are proud of our protestant heritage , we are proud of our association with great britain and the monarchy , NO SURRENDER means we will never accept a united ireland and we are prepared to die fighting this , NO SURRENDER means we will never foresake the blue skies of ulster for the grey skies if the republic , NO SURRENDER means whilst there is 100 of us left we will fight to remain part of the UK ........NO SURRENDER
Hail to Irish freedom,,,,crawl before you walk...walk before you run...suffer before you know pain...imprisoned before you know freedom..Up the IRA and to all freedom fighters where ever they may be...Erin go bragh.
Unfortunately quite a few of the songs words were changed from Dan Hannon's original lyrics, for whatever reason, when this song was first recorded. For instance, in the verse written above the correct lyrics are...
For his country & his people still wore APARTHEIDS chains.
u are sum man alan, sum job on the video, the lads are thrilled with it.. we are heading to play in Achill island saturday, great spot down there boy..u should tip down for the nite or if u cant we will arrange another time better, looking forward 2 an olde sit down sessiun.. u are a LEGEND ha

rebel hearts are actually legends
they sing this song as if they reaally mean it
they bring a great legend like Nelson Mandela who was put down dragged to prison and way worse and stil stood up for his people and there rights
just like many of ireland great patroits who fought and died for ireland and its freedom great song

I went to see a legend just the other night
At the Yankee Stadium, underneath the lights.
I heard a man speaking after years and years in jail.
His name it was Mandela and he came to tell his tale.
The crowd they cheered him loudly, ah, but then the silence fell
As he spoke about the hard years in a South African cell.
And though he was free, his heart was feelin' the pain,
For his country and his people were still a part of that shame.
