i honestly dont know why the words "civil war" is brought into this, sounds rather unionist if you ask me.
It was a war song, sung by ICA (irish citizens army) while on patrols.. now im sure it was sung on many other occasions but the war in ireland in the early 1900's was with the invading british, and the native irish... and later on after half of ireland was granted independence, there was a small civil war between powers deciding if they were to take N.I or not, this lead to some deaths.
Thanks so much for the translation!! I first sang this song many years ago in college, and just today I was speaking to a lovely Irish woman visiting my town for the summer, she's from Kerry, and we sang "Oro" together, it was great. But she said that in Ireland Irish is dying out, because very few people speak it on a daily basis. I hope that's not true!
mate, i'm still in the school system, it's not taught as a language first (which is the way it should be taught) it's taught as a subject, shoving poetry and old irish literature down our throats while most of us can barely string a sentence together. i had to take it upon myself to learn irish, but our culture has become so stupidly unpatriotic, once our language goes then fuck it hang a union jack above the GPO cos then we might as well be brits. tír gan teanga, tír gan anam.
For what it's worth I have a piece of sheet music in front of me with the Clancey Brothers adaptation of the song.
At the head of the page is the following
'written by Patrick Pearse , one of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion of 1916, "oro, Welcome Home" was an invitation to all Irishmen in Europe who were fighting forhteh British Empire and the freedom of small nations to come home and tackle the ancient foe on their own little island"
it was sung by the soldiers during the civil war as a marching song. duirling and jadl16..history of the song is
In the early 20th century it received new verses by the nationalist poet Padraig Pearse and was often sung by IRA members and sympathisers, during the Easter Rising. It was also sung as a fast march during the Irish War of Independence.
Since 1916 it has also been known under various other titles, notably Dord na bhFiann (Call of the Fighters) or An Dord Féinne.
Wow. That is my idea of THE perfect male voice. Imagine having the talent just to pick something up, as it looks like he is doing, and sing it like that--and in Gaelic, too. Beautifully done.
Nice voice. You can get better pronounciation of the words from some other sites, but as far as the ignoramuses who comment on your video...you can delete them as fast as they come in. The world doesn't need rudeness rewarded after all. :)
no im just used to textin. ar u one of dose wierd 40 year old men who plays playstion and has no girlfriend or friends and spend most of your time on the internet???
do you have anything better to be doing than correcting people on their grammar? GET A FUCKING LIFE!
No. I'm 26 and have plenty of friends, and have indeed gotten laid. But Generally when someone makes fun of someone else, you hear a little bit about themselves.
No it's called TxtSpk. It's Really sad because you have a full size keyboard there yet you neglect to use it properly. And I believe the term you want is Grammar Nazi. As for myself travelling around the country when I get a chance, My Irish Pronunciation will be different to that of someone who is used to a particular dialect.
Sinéad has such a very special voice... and she sang for the film, which was done wonderfully. I found the Clancy Brothers' w/ Tommy Mackem's (classic) version of Oro Se do Bheatha Bhaile quite stirring. They also have an English one - w/ completely different lyrics. Thanks for your suggestion I give a listen :).
That's reasonable, as I assume from the vid, you're at work.... I love music, all sorts, but my heart is first and foremost with Irish folk (I call it "soul" music). If you play, bring a tin whistle next time, to entertain yer co-workers - quite portable. Hard to sing tho' :). Keep up the good work!
yes I am indeed aware of this fact, but it was popularized by the civil war as a marching song by the men going out to war. ell me what you know about Irish History. I see you are United States Marine Corp. As a test, explain what happened in Éire in 1798
Is that you(the poster)? very well sang. One of the better singers of that I have heard. I wish I could afford a verbal tutor at the moment for Gaelic.
This persons problem is that (s)he is english and Jealous of our rich musical heritage. I would hazard a guess that the person is a member of the British Nazi Party (BNP) who gets horny thinking about margaret thatcher. They won't even show themselves on youtube, that is the cowardice that this person exuberates.
It's actually an old Scottish Jacobite song sung during the Rebellions in the 1700s. But that's fine, the Irish and Scots are family and blood anyway :)
I'm currently arranging an Irish Language CD to be released at a later date with the co-operation of an Englishman (it's OK though he's only British by birth) and a few others, watch this space for samples
that was actually brilliant lol... lovely to see people keeping the language going well done m8y can any1 tell me the name of the song it is in the wond that shakes the barley i know it simply as ''o rosian a fa o will ya'' lol which ovc is not what it is called lol
Hi, in the Irish Republic there has been a hugh revivial in the irish Language , it is now recognised as an official European Language by the EU, it has an As Gealige tv station and irish is getting stronger each day. Unfortunately history as in North Amercia with Native Languages has eroded the daily use of irish outside of the gealtacht areas, however if your unaware it is taught in schools in Ireland. So please do your homework before telling the irish people what they know already.
your not pronounsing de words of de song right boyo, and it's not from the Irish Civil War, the song was from the major Irish Revolution for freedom from England. It was written in like 1910, basically it's calling all the Irish vets that fought every where around the world, especially in America during the American Civil War to come back and fight for Ireland
Go ahead, but don't plan on staying more than a year. The BOI Service desk is not as fun anymore from what I hear from my ex-colleagues. (I work in a different high profile IT company now)

Good on you, nice voice. I see no reason for anyone to have mentioned mispronunciations or the like. It's about the music and the meaning after all, isn't it? It is for me. So much unwarranted assessment over a lovely oul' song. Pronunciations, origin, exact date of when it was authored, ffs. Fec* the amadans , sing on and enjoy says simple little oul' me.
wow the coments on this "song" are all over,, so il play the pissing game my name is kearns im roman catholic and clearly of irish decent but im a canadian and proud of it i drive a leo 2 for the loard strathcona horse royal canadian . havent lost much weight since i joined but i was not fat, well that was a nice story but has NOTHING to do with SONG ... GOOD song boy!!
The cat eating the cabbage is an idomatic American expression. You have worn out "obviously". Try another adjective. Since I'm part Irish, the music is in me. It is goood to hear that you're a musician. The World neeeds more.
I don't need a pup telling me how the cat ate the caggbage. I'm 63 years old. Insure, I doubt it. I raised three children and two nephews. It was the M-14 that gave me my future.
Go to a pub and drink? What the hell for, I done that and talked to the face on the bar room floor. I've lived in Puerto Rico, Okinawa; Japan, Malasiya, Hong Kong, Mexico and Canada. Go see the World? Not much.
emmm ,you obviously have no experience with animals, Cats don't eat cabbage, but I don't know what you americans are like, What with it being so backward and all.
I was rasied on a farm. What are YOU going to tell about animals. The World hates America. WE are on the "hit parade": i.e. December 7th and 9/11. History doesn't linger long in this century or any other.
Ok, So you obviously know nothing about cats, cats don't eat cabbage, if you think cats eat cabbage then a) you are suffering from some kind of mind condition b) you are lying about being raised on a farm or c) you knew at one point but have forgotten about animals
Backward as you are lacking in the field of technology. Like I said, I am actually Irish, Living in Ireland, So I can't get to the southern border quite that easily.
The best weight reduction is the United States Marine Corps. When I arrived at MCRD San Doego, a D.I. yelled at me, "don't go near the water boy, you'll be mistaken for the Great White, Moby Dick and harpooned !".
They carved 36 lbs. of fat off me. I dropped my 38 waist and put on a 32 waist. Now that's dieting ! I would do it again.
We all can do that .. Join the marines and get a bullet up your spine in the anbar province in Iraq and you go from whatever weight to 0 in a couple of weeks .. the desert will do that to ya :S
The reality is WAS very fat, do you usually confuse the past and the present?, I would've left a comment instead of a private message, but you seem so insecure that you don't allow commenting on your channel. You need to see the world, starting with the pub, maybe you can get over your insecurites.
Lose some weight fatty. You couldnt march in a company with that amount of fat, so why sing marching songs when the only marching you will be doing is between the couch in front of the tv and the fridge.
It's funny to see how some americans or english who are anti-Irish rant about 'prods vs micks' when most of the forefathers of the republican or nationalists movements were indeed Irish middle class Protestants. This tune predates the IRA and the republican movements.
You dill. The actual 'tune' itself may predate current republican movements - since it's an old Scotch Gaelic Jacobite song - it certainly doesn't predate modern republicanism. Why? Because it was written or updated by PADRAIG PEARSE, yes one of the leaders of 16 and a fucking father of modern republicanism.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well said. Now the next rant that needs correcting is anything about the English in Ireland. It was the bloody Normans who carved up Ireland and us Saxons, Vikings, Angles and Celts take exception to being lumped with that conquering trash. Of course, the Irish weren't pure blood themselves were they? They've also got a dash of Viking, Dubliners, Iberians et al. Hey, maybe were all pretty much inter-mixed when all's said and done!
you denounce prod paramilitary and I'll denounce the 'ra. tit for tat...each side has killed so don't go playing the martyr. Three sides have contributed...don't go playing off the the brit or prod side...micks welcomed the brits in the 60's as protectors and saviors...much to the mick mistake.
My Irish blood is much diluted - 150 years in Canada will do that to your blood - I wasn't searching IRA sites, just happen to love the melody of this very old song. My grandparents sang the melody and I did not know the meaning of the words. There are too many generations of grief among my ancestors for me to wish to be political. However, I like the songs of my fathers, however misbegotten their visions.
I appreciate your kind words. I am respectful of all of the points of view in the matter, since I am not close enough to the important issues to understand all of the subtleties.
I am not without opinions - I just don't try to offer opinions in matters beyond my "ken" -(Scottish grandmother, also).
Yes, but the civil war happened due to differences in who owned the 6 counties and was kind of extension to the war of independence. All that happened was the guerrilla forces became 2 separate sides and fought against each other. (I think this is what happened)

So much unwarranted assessment over a lovely oul' song. Pronunciations, origin, exact date of when it was authored, ffs. Fec* the amadans , sing on and enjoy says simple little oul' me.

The cat eating the cabbage is an idomatic American expression. You have worn out "obviously". Try another adjective. Since I'm part Irish, the music is in me. It is goood to hear that you're a musician. The World neeeds more.

Her Sigmud Fruad, aka: spannerotoole:
I don't need a pup telling me how the cat ate the caggbage. I'm 63 years old. Insure, I doubt it. I raised three children and two nephews. It was the M-14 that gave me my future.
Go to a pub and drink? What the hell for, I done that and talked to the face on the bar room floor. I've lived in Puerto Rico, Okinawa; Japan, Malasiya, Hong Kong, Mexico and Canada. Go see the World? Not much.

emmm ,you obviously have no experience with animals, Cats don't eat cabbage, but I don't know what you americans are like, What with it being so backward and all.
spannerotoole 4 years ago
I was rasied on a farm. What are YOU going to tell about animals. The World hates America. WE are on the "hit parade": i.e. December 7th and 9/11. History doesn't linger long in this century or any other.
ErnstBecker 4 years ago
Ok, So you obviously know nothing about cats, cats don't eat cabbage, if you think cats eat cabbage then a) you are suffering from some kind of mind condition b) you are lying about being raised on a farm or c) you knew at one point but have forgotten about animals

Backward? That will be the day. Come and see the Southern Border and watch the hordes of humanity enter this Nation without inspection.
ErnstBecker 4 years ago
Backward as you are lacking in the field of technology. Like I said, I am actually Irish, Living in Ireland, So I can't get to the southern border quite that easily.

why is everyone knocking on this guy for being fat? what does this have to do with the irish song? Good Job man. It takes balls to sing like that.

The best weight reduction is the United States Marine Corps. When I arrived at MCRD San Doego, a D.I. yelled at me, "don't go near the water boy, you'll be mistaken for the Great White, Moby Dick and harpooned !".
They carved 36 lbs. of fat off me. I dropped my 38 waist and put on a 32 waist. Now that's dieting ! I would do it again.

Good luck with your weight loss endeavours. (You are very fat)
PercivalofCamelot 4 years ago
The reality is WAS very fat, do you usually confuse the past and the present?, I would've left a comment instead of a private message, but you seem so insecure that you don't allow commenting on your channel. You need to see the world, starting with the pub, maybe you can get over your insecurites.
spannerotoole 4 years ago
Lose some weight fatty. You couldnt march in a company with that amount of fat, so why sing marching songs when the only marching you will be doing is between the couch in front of the tv and the fridge.
PercivalofCamelot 4 years ago
It's funny to see how some americans or english who are anti-Irish rant about 'prods vs micks' when most of the forefathers of the republican or nationalists movements were indeed Irish middle class Protestants. This tune predates the IRA and the republican movements.
brianhourigan 4 years ago
You dill. The actual 'tune' itself may predate current republican movements - since it's an old Scotch Gaelic Jacobite song - it certainly doesn't predate modern republicanism. Why? Because it was written or updated by PADRAIG PEARSE, yes one of the leaders of 16 and a fucking father of modern republicanism.
roddyjojo 3 years ago
Not to mention it was used as a marching song by the IRA during the Black and Tans war - as seen in films like 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley'.

Well said. Now the next rant that needs correcting is anything about the English in Ireland. It was the bloody Normans who carved up Ireland and us Saxons, Vikings, Angles and Celts take exception to being lumped with that conquering trash. Of course, the Irish weren't pure blood themselves were they? They've also got a dash of Viking, Dubliners, Iberians et al. Hey, maybe were all pretty much inter-mixed when all's said and done!

you denounce prod paramilitary and I'll denounce the 'ra. tit for tat...each side has killed so don't go playing the martyr. Three sides have contributed...don't go playing off the the brit or prod side...micks welcomed the brits in the 60's as protectors and saviors...much to the mick mistake.

Hi, friend ;
My Irish blood is much diluted - 150 years in Canada will do that to your blood - I wasn't searching IRA sites, just happen to love the melody of this very old song. My grandparents sang the melody and I did not know the meaning of the words. There are too many generations of grief among my ancestors for me to wish to be political. However, I like the songs of my fathers, however misbegotten their visions.
Best regards,
Mary

I appreciate your kind words. I am respectful of all of the points of view in the matter, since I am not close enough to the important issues to understand all of the subtleties.
I am not without opinions - I just don't try to offer opinions in matters beyond my "ken" -(Scottish grandmother, also).

it was sung more during the war of independence than the civil war
bohemiansfc07 4 years ago
Yes, but the civil war happened due to differences in who owned the 6 counties and was kind of extension to the war of independence. All that happened was the guerrilla forces became 2 separate sides and fought against each other. (I think this is what happened)

Read the above statement. I denounce any group who promotes terrorism.
I denounce Armies who invade countries because this is also an act of terrorism.
Innocent people still die either way.
Who cares what the motives were, the fact is that the persons life is still lost.
