"I lost her to a student chap with skin as black as coal. When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul". It's so sad, he is lamenting the loss of what was Dublin as the Multi-KULT kills it as with the rest of Ireland and all of Europe as the ZOG insists on importing millions of Negros and Mohammedans into our beloved continent. STOP THE GENOCIDE! EUROPE FOR EUROPEANS!
@AbeRaghad Glad you enjoy some real good Irish folk signing. R.I.P. to Ronnie(Signing) and the main man Luke Kelly. As well as all the rest who have drank, sang or played a Guitar to any of these tunes. Fair play to you my friend...
My da is from inner city Dublin..he lived in the rare auld times and hes a dying breed. Flats he grew up in, the tenaments they were called, have all been knocked down to make way for office and government buildings. Ireland has changed alot and thats what this song is about.. the times when you could leave your front door opened and not fear of anything gettin robbed.. a real sense of community! are the women still selling fruit and veg on Moore street? or have immigrants taken over?
@XxLadyAssassinxX People tend to look at these "rare auld times" through rose tinted glasses. Sure, it may very well have been culturally richer but it certainly wasn't a nice place to live. Poverty was rife and people in the tenements lived in appalling conditions. Yes, Dublin has changed but it hasn't always been for the worse. And I would like to add that there has NEVER been a time when you could leave your door open in inner city Dublin without getting robbed and that is the truth.
@colinbergin1 Well im not lookin through any rose tinted glasses my da cherishes the memories of his ma cookin the 15 strong family dinner in a pot over the fire.Sure he grew up in poverty, he saw lads he went to school die of TB, he never had a decent pair of shoes, he laughs about his sleepin conditions he always says he had to sleep with his brothers feet practically in his mouth! Dublin is changing for the worse.. And there was a time you could leave the front door open..
looking at these comments i think people outside side ireland mix the dubliners with up with the wolfe tones there both trad dubliners music is about ireland and the people of ireland .the wolfe tones music is about bein anti british and the struggles and war/troubles for freedom , people shouldn confuse them aweful sin/shame if they do
i love this song i used to have great times in dublin with my grandparents we went there first on our way to co mayo i loved the church near oconnell street great people
hi i deticate this song to my dublin friend Frank Murphy such a nice guy was he i miss him so much for him tonight i shed a tear as mick galvin song says tear for dublin and for ronnie as well rip both and phil his mate glad dublin won all ireland in his memory a mayo man god bless frank i miss you x pb manchester
@zwedishreggae Flogging Molly wished they were The Pogues, who wished they were The Dubliners. The Dubliners wished they were the Dubliners, and sometimes, wishes come true.
I'm from Brazil, but when Ronnie sings, i almost can see a Dublin from the past and it looks a amazing city with amazing people. Never met you Ronnie, but i hope meet you in heaven!
@GinaLouiseMacDonald i agree the perfect micture of hardwork,smarts, and respect... and they only made 1 problem.... generation I (for Idiots) god we are a sad bunch...
THE PULL OF IRISH MUSIC IS STRONG,IT OFTEN TELL,S US WHAT WENT WRONG ,IN TALES OF STRUGGLE TO BE FREE,AND THE LONG FOUGHT FOR LIBERTY,SO IF THE TUNE SOUNDS STRANGLEY SAD ,ITS TELLIN US WHEN TIMES WERE BAD,THIS GETS RESPECT AND TAKE A BOW ,IT JUST MADE US WHAT WE ARE NOW ,,,TIOCAIGH AR LA .....
Come join us in the “Celtic FC Supporters” private league code 191503-60215 @ Barclays Fantasy Premier League, we need the bhoys.. (great prize by the way).
everything changes......I'm a proud Englishman with a protestant Irishwoman as a great grandmother. My slight concern about this beautiful song is that its somewhat rascist.......our rare old times may well be when we were one human family....
@whitesocklad .......why is it racist? racist is an incredibly overused term.
Being a proud englishman and saying:
"our rare old times may well be when we were one human family", kind of contradicts itself as english is a complete mess of an identity, the true briton culture is now banished to the crags of wales and cornish even though most of you english peasants are of the same celtic stock :D (but brainwashed other wise) - I have a genetics degree from York btw
@Apemanwithcalculator Let me translate. Racist= what our jewish media labels anyone who expresses any desire to see the native inhabitants of Europe continue existing.
@ksleblanc1 Are ye daft? What do Jews or the media have to do with this great song? Take politics elsewhere, asshole, some people are trying to just enjoy the song and not start fights, join the people here for the music or take yourself elsewhere.
@whitesocklad dont raise the fact shes protestant in Irlenad because they will think you are very ignorant......one of Irelands greatest freedom fighters was a protestant - Wolfe tone
@whitesocklad lmao, oh you certainly are english! Sadly, the Irish have become just as effete. If you haven't looked recently, the euro birthrate is 1.4. Replacement rate is 2.1. The native races of Europe are dying and your main concern,,,,what an embarrassment you are. Enjoy the next set of race riots in England. you deserve them.
@whitesocklad My grandfather was from an older generation, and I think that's one layer of this song that really stands out. If you're viewing this song as racist, I'm not at all understanding where that opinion is coming from. This song is about nostalgia and pining for vanished youth and familiarity. It is about the human condition, about humanity and the love of ones birthplace. I'm 23, and sometimes I look back on my hometown and how it's changed since I was a child, and I am disappointed.
Those of you around Lubbock, Texas, who used to hang out with the Irish musicians and the group Roan Inish (I played with them for a couple of years)--this song ought to bring a tear to your eye when it reminds you of English Dave. I miss him and always will.
Yes Ireland is part of Europe. The part where it has become too expensive to live or even visit,a country screwed by greed. The perpetrators allowed to continue as if they have done nothing wrong,bankers,politicians,property developers with no shame.We managed without Europe once before and the euro is about struggle even more. European imperialists out, give Ireland back to the natives,whoever they are?
@xPoppedCherry its was people coming up through iberia and europe who founded ireland.many moons ago..maybe the good irish should show the corrupt european states how to be
@celt293 Im from the north but united ireland all the way get Britain and all the selfish politicts out let paisly and mcguiness go fight over somethin shitty like whales lol let us be one country!!!!
the rare aul times back a good few years about 40 u there were 210 pence in a pound u could get 5 pints and get into a dance and get the girl u were with a mineral for about a pound
To get back to the rare old times,we must get rid of the social welfare mentality.It has got worse now with africans,east europeans and muslims with their hand out give me attitude.Celts wake up and kick this shit out,We never begged we fought.
@celt293 Fuck you man! you didnt fight shit, you couldnt fight sleep! It's your mentality causing all the bullshit..... God gave us the garden, lets take it back.
@iNarbage It's a descriptive. If it's wrong to call someone 'black as coal' it's wrong to describe a person of Asiatic descent as having 'almond eyes', or it's non-PC to call a caucasian person 'white'. I'm not white, I'm beige. Should I expect to be called that? No, I'll probably be called white. It's not as if he insulted the guy in the song. Could have said something far worse than a descriptive of how dark the man's skin was.
@GOLDSPLATTER32 my friend i wast on the hill but i can assure you i was blasting this out sunday and monday had to call it time out mondy night just could not drink anymore ill never forget this game
ah i remember going to Dublin every year (mum and dad are Irish and we use to go every year on holiday to see grandparents) loved going to Moore street to see the ladies selling thier fruit happy memories of a great Country. I will return one day before i die for sure.
Sean Dempsey would be pretty disgusted with Dublin today.£5 A pint not many coopers would have anticipated that.A country that is broke and dependant on handouts from Europe. The perpetrators (bankers and property developers) have distanced themselves the politicians have changed shirts to blue and something else.And now we PAY for it.God save Ireland and god help the irish working class.
I remember Dublin City in the rare old times... proud IRA fighters are much more better than this crap, what is happen today - time for the next easter rising!
@xPoppedCherry €5 a pint, which before euro to pound exchange rate was ridicolous and every Dub was making stupid amounts of money was fine, rare aul times even ! I go home a couple of times a year, My dad is from Belfast and I was born in Dublin, I live in Scotland and he lives in heaven, going to Dublin totally skints me! but at my fathers funeral in Belfast the Dubs were all fuckin loaded cos of exchange rate so I guess its swings and roonaboots. we will rise again.Tiocfaidh ár lá
@xPoppedCherry i love your country i love your culture but why the fuck should we prop u up when we are srtuggling too !! would you do it for us ? would you fuck you hate hate us !! maybe with rights but dont come begging to us when u need it and diss us when u dont !! learn it the euro dont work !!! the pound does !! why do u let your policy be dictated to by brussels !! why should we bail u out ? would u do it for us ? u know the answer !! no !! so fuck you !!
RIP RONNIE LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN !!!! WHO ARE THE 26 FOOLS THAT DISLIKE THIS !!! HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME YOU PRICKS !!!!! LOVE U RONNIE WILL ALWAYS MISS U BROTHER WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE THE CRAIC WITH YOU !!! ONE WORD *** LEGEND ***
When I was stationed at the USAF Base near Omaha, NE, used to go to the "Dubliner Pub." 1 night, these gents were playing; approached them during a break to ask about songs they played by Stan Rogers. Ronnie greeted me; "Would you happen to be a Burke?" I answered that my dad's mom was a Burke. He said, "You have the Look about you." We had a nice chat about Stan Rogers afterwards.
Cliches aside, it does NOT get any better than that.
@Ullarsskald1989 A co-worker of mine visited Ireland several years ago. He visited the town of his ancestors, from _many_ generations ago and found relatives who could _easily_ pass for his family.
It's amazing how a country, just 2/3 the size of my home state, Pennsylvania, attracts so much devotion and love and attention.
I've been listening to this video for years. enough is enough; I must ask. Is this recording available on any album or compilation? Or does anyone have an mp3/audio format version??
@metalllmulisha If your using mozilla firefox you can download a youtube downloader addon, which converts the audio mp3 and then you can put it on your ipod, or whatever.
match the man if you can. he is a big part of ireland as everyboby knows, enybody that are not irish, wishes to be. i know that. my dad taught me that.hail! hail! for freedom
he knows the irish cos he is. a grawshus man. always looks like he needs a sleep. aye he knows. thanksthe irish sometimes write poetry. maest of the time they think poetry. that is why eveyboby wants to be irish
Just listen to the rich depth of Ronnie's voice. He loved Dublin just as any real Irish person who has visited the wonderful city does. The Rare Old Times are still existent in Dublin.
Hi Ronnie, tell Luke and Kieran I was asking for them. Barney and John, are still on planet Earth. Mam (Vi) turned 88yrs yesterday...still givin' out stink...Luke; I'm still writing them 'silly' romantic songs. See you someday PG...Thanks, pete xxx
p.s. heard Uncle Phil departed this planet. If you see him up there, tell him he owes me a few pints...Bless you lads...
My Gran aunt used to say there was nothing good about the old days. They were hard. She should know, raising her brothers and sisters from the age of 14. Parents both dead of TB. Drogheda in the 20s, lovely stuff. So let s not get too romantic about the rare oul times.
@Andulsi Its a song about the moral decay of modernity, The lyrics display the dichotomy of circumstances experienced by our ancestors. They were tough times, but they were times that showed that the power of love and family unity can overcome the needless consumerism that we are so obsessed with these days.
@okellydokelly Oh so I'm a bigot for arguing a point and saying what many others would also think ? I bet if you had your way you'd flood this country with even more migrants and give them all benefits whilst your own people are treated like crap, the rest of Ireland has not seen as big a growth of foreign communities as Dublin but it will happen if we keep going the way were going with our polish signs in the welfare offices telling them what they can get while Irish people are laughed at.
I love Ronnie Drew. He and luke was, and is "the Dubliners".

I go home a couple of times a year, My dad is from Belfast and I was born in Dublin, I live in Scotland and he lives in heaven, going to Dublin totally skints me! but at my fathers funeral in Belfast the Dubs were all fuckin loaded cos of exchange rate so I guess its swings and roonaboots. we will rise again.Tiocfaidh ár lá

When I was stationed at the USAF Base near Omaha, NE, used to go to the "Dubliner Pub." 1 night, these gents were playing; approached them during a break to ask about songs they played by Stan Rogers. Ronnie greeted me; "Would you happen to be a Burke?" I answered that my dad's mom was a Burke. He said, "You have the Look about you." We had a nice chat about Stan Rogers afterwards.
Cliches aside, it does NOT get any better than that.

@Ullarsskald1989 A co-worker of mine visited Ireland several years ago. He visited the town of his ancestors, from _many_ generations ago and found relatives who could _easily_ pass for his family.
It's amazing how a country, just 2/3 the size of my home state, Pennsylvania, attracts so much devotion and love and attention.

@metalllmulisha If your using mozilla firefox you can download a youtube downloader addon, which converts the audio mp3 and then you can put it on your ipod, or whatever.

My Gran aunt used to say there was nothing good about the old days. They were hard. She should know, raising her brothers and sisters from the age of 14. Parents both dead of TB. Drogheda in the 20s, lovely stuff. So let s not get too romantic about the rare oul times.

@Andulsi Its a song about the moral decay of modernity, The lyrics display the dichotomy of circumstances experienced by our ancestors. They were tough times, but they were times that showed that the power of love and family unity can overcome the needless consumerism that we are so obsessed with these days.

@okellydokelly Oh so I'm a bigot for arguing a point and saying what many others would also think ? I bet if you had your way you'd flood this country with even more migrants and give them all benefits whilst your own people are treated like crap, the rest of Ireland has not seen as big a growth of foreign communities as Dublin but it will happen if we keep going the way were going with our polish signs in the welfare offices telling them what they can get while Irish people are laughed at.
