  • I agree with the irb back then but the IRA we have now is a disgrace

  • gkhadz, your right...aber ich bin ein deutscher....And I sing the songs of my history. Mein grossvater var einen Irishman.

  • well all of us Celts need to bring our own languages back and start speaking them in our everyday lives. Yes the English decimated our cultures, but they didn't kill them, what's killing them is laziness of their people. who are we to call ourselves Celts if fuck all of us speak the Celtic languages? we have our own languages, why do we speak someone elses' and not our own? tabhair ár dteangacha ar ais!

  • the end part gives me chills

  • Humm Alot of Plastic Paddys here bitching about who owns what when there ancestors dropped there flags and ran to America and now 160 to 70 years later they think they have a right to pretend they are Irish and bitch about the trobbles and cause hate.

  • @thebritish25 says the guy who can spell trouble

  • @ShinoNero Oh no oh no * Shaking in utter disbelief and fear*

    I hit B twice instead of putting a U oh my god and then I failed to realise that I made a mistake what ever will I do it is a mother fucking tragedy.

    Get a life you sad sad man.

  • @thebritish25 dropped there flags or forced to become refugees? shut the fuck up fair play to them just cause nobody proud to be descended by brits

  • @DurtDurty  Oh so you have lived in the North then have you ?

  • yeah you brits did do alot of bad shit to many more countrys than just Ireland and you guys still cant admit it and yes it is a cool song about my great grandfather standing up to his death to your great grandfather and maybe we whould unite if we had are whole country damn limey's still cant see the damage they have done!

  • Really sorry for talking about the music and not, yknow, politics - but are we sure this is the Young Dubliners? It doesn't sound like Keith Roberts...

  • heard a strike on Bosty is imminent. London will Pay. DC double. New Model Rising for a New Republican Army!!!!!!! These Brits today are Roman Refuse, blended with the POison Ivy League stateside.

  • heard a strike on Bosty is imminent. London will Pay. DC double. New Model Rising for a New Republican Army!!!!!!!

  • My favorite redemption of this song

  • omsct Well they would, wouldnt they? It is a matter of geography. Had the Germans invaded Great Britain in 1940 do you think they would not have also invaded Ireland? After all, neutrality didnt do the Dutch and the Danes much good.

  • EnDiHjobi you really are full of shit. ''I identify with the anger felt towards the English..''bla bla bloody bla' What utter crap and pretentious college boy yankee crap. Tell you what, speak another language then! Your ancestors indeed. I suppose I am meant to hate the Normans in that case. Just go out and get a life and stop wanking in your bedroom - American twat! We fucking hate your kind in England.

  • @pogmathon100 Pretty funny that most of the invasions of Ireland came from people that had conquered, tried to conquer, or at least invaded England first - Romans, Vikings, Normans, William of Orange etc. Then there are the foreign dynasties - Tudors, Stuarts, Germans, all of whom ruined Ireland. Then there was the Welsh PM who partitioned Ireland. Come to think of it... when was the last time England had an English monarch?

  • Quite a neat one EnDiHjobi in evading any responsibility for anything. jaysus de fuckin' Brits are to blame for all our ills.....oh but wait....we were the underdogs in America...we are always de fuckin' underdogs. Tell you what mate...grow up!

  • Oh and rileyrahmaullah, next time you start spouting 'freedom' consider the measured response of the British to atrocities such as the Birmingham pub bombings. people who did this were 'freedom fighters' until the same thing happened to you lot on 9/11, and the suddenly there is a war on terror and every muslim in sight is put in an orange jumpsuit and tortured. Why dont you go and bury your head at 'Wounded Knee'. You lot raped your way across America - savages!

  • @pogmathon100

    Wow, your ignorance knows no bounds, does it? The Irish were lower than dirt at the time in America's history you make reference. Most of the respected Americans were of Germanic heritage. The Irish were considered degenerates by design and regarded as the source of disease. They were even blamed for many diseases including Typhoid Fever, exacerbated by the fact that an outbreak started with one woman (Irish) named Mary.

  • I am sorry AmericanRebel4191. You are talking utter bollocks. If you want an example of a colonial power decimating a native one look to the Begian Congo. If you want an example of a colonial power trying to make it part of the metropolitan power look to France. The British simply did not colonise in this way. Look at India. So for God's sake next time you open your mouth make sure you dont spout shit. Oh, and what did the Yanks do to the native indians? Wanker!

  • My ancestors came from Ireland. I herd it is a beautiful country. I would love to go and visit one day. It's sad that the true Heros' like Vercingetorix don't get the credit that is due to them. many blessings to all of you over in Ireland.

  • I love this fucking song!!!

  • Vive la Ireland!! Hoorah!

  • "As back through the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore,

    For I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more

    But to and fro in my dreams I go and I kneel and pray for you,

    For slavery fled, O glorious dead, when you fell in the foggy dew".

    Gives me goose bumps. Fuckin Class

  • on top of the fact that there are a lot of ethnic irish in america there is also the political ties that we have with kicking your asses and gaining our freedom. suck it limeys

  • Ирландия Я ТЕБЯ ЛЮБЛЮ

  • What is this band called?

  • stupid brits

  • fuck britain

  • @xX3PIDEMICXx27 No, YOU fuck Britain!

  • everyone seems to have forgotten the classic movie The Informer w/Victor Mclaglen which covers the same territory as the movies listed.

  • Mega - you can't simply be THAT ignorant, can you? If you are truly unaware of the history between the f'n Crown and the Irish, I suggest you try reading almost any of the 1,000's of books in print. If you MUST be feed by Hollywood, try either

    - In The Name of the Father

    - The Wind That Shakes the Barley

    See how the Irish have been treated like dogs. jeeze.

  • I've seen Jews, blacks, Indians, and Latinos disrespected by the Europeans and whites, whether England, France, or Great Britain, I admit i didn't pay that much attention to the Irish community, but I figure if no Irish man or women wanna tell me what was Ireland like? then I don't see any point to know more about this, I can watch the movies. I just don't have any Irish friend to talk about this issue.

  • No wonder you don't have any Irish friends. Calling the treatment of the Irish by the British Crown "Disrespect" would be, at best an insult to their ancestors. You are, indeed truly ignorant of the history. Oh well.

  • I like this song, you don't need to be irish to talk about this British and Ireland conflict, people don't talk about politics, because it leads to arguments, like right now, you think it is my fault that they don't teach Irish history in my high school.

  • @MegaSoldier64

    You could make an attempt at self education, instead of being spoon fed.

  • @MegaSoldier64 "you think it is my fault that they don't teach Irish history in my high school. " WHAT who gives two shits what yankee shitheads make of the Ireland - Britain conflict. STFU or GTFO.

  • Everybody's been fucked over at some point in history, chico.

  • @u2bScrnName I hardly think The Wind That Shakes the Barley is "Hollywood", given that it was an independently produced Irish film. The very opposite, in fact! I think your exhibiting a certain petty media-snobbery there.

  • @Traitorfish - you missed my point entirely, I used Hollywood as a euphemism for wide release movies (which Wind certainly was) used by too many people as their only or primary source of information.

  • eirigi abu

  • irish blood

    irish soul

    fck the british ! !

  • Comment removed

  • if the issue with the British is intense, why doesn't a movie company make a movie about this?

  • apparently they are, starts shootin in april and gary oldman is in it

  • they already did make a movie about this era, it's titled michael collins

  • they have many of them umm michael collins the devils own off the top of my head i mean really that and in american culture any gurrelia army is considered terrorists whcih in a sense i suppose the ira could be called that but one mans terrorists is another mans patriot

  • They've made several, it just so happens. Michael Collins, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Bloody Sunday,  Some Mother's Son...but, to my knowledge, there aren't many-if any-films depicting the modern political climate in Northern Ireland, save a few films that feature the IRA as villains or side characters :l

  • summary of all 418 comments:

  • A Great Song.

    Baile Ath Cliath Abu!

  • im a irish american I bleed green.

  • free the occupied 6 counties

  • tiocfaidh àr là mo chara!

  • Haha. I know this may seem heartless, but what on earth is the point of your petty squabbling? You're all part of Earth whether you're Irish or American and you definietly bleed the same damn color, so why not just give it up and LOVE?

    I hope you can understand that and not think me a bitch.

    Peave and Love!

  • @bareda2 as much as i loath myself for it, I just can't be a pacifist and petty squabbles mean much to me.

    I hope you can understand that and not think me a bitch.

  • okay mikemcdll you need a fuckin lesson son, sinn fein was formed in america by irish immigrants, further more the only reason de valera wasnt executed is because he had american citizenship how dare you try to discredit irish americans mosdt of whom feel the same you do about the british bastards

  • shit i'm american i'm not even irish

    and i support sinn fein

    back off on the anti yank stuff

    where the hell do you think all the armalites came from!?

  • @totenkoppf And, of course, there's us poor Irish-Britons who are stuck in the middle and just don't know what to think. :P

  • @Traitorfish Lol Irish Britons.............. hate that bro.

  • I can see the point of your irish allegance from the lovely island of green. But being born in the States growing up with the Irish grit and songs . It has led me to this profession predominately filled of those that have irish blood running in them, Fire Department. So after a bad day at work when I turn to my fav. Irish pub. I pull up a chair sing these songs and have a glass of stout. It is in honor of my heritage. Just dont come to Boston and say that you just might not make it back!

  • But is it wrong to be proud of our irish heritage? I may not have been born on the emerald isle but i still feel pride when i hear this song...

  • updaracfc ur damn rite, fuckin yanks thinkin there irish pisses me off!!!!

  • third generation Irish immigrant. My great grand father came from Ireland around 1900

  • ders stil a few ;) very few b it tho

  • " ... at those fearless men but few ..." Hope they still exist ...

  • The best version of Foggy Dew I've ever heard !

    How they died at Pearse's side ...

    Witersch kämpfe ..

  • Your Irish if you were born in the Island of Ireland, North or South, your American if you were born in America, simple.

  • what if you were conceived in ireland and your parents moved before you are born. its a good question right?

  • @UPDARACFC soooo Eamon De Valera was American and not Irish?

  • Here the real chords (imo) most websites show crappy chords:

    As down(Am) the glen (F) one Easter (G) morn (Em) to a city (Am) fair(G) rode I (Am)

    There Armed (Am) lines (F) of marching (G) men (Em) in squadrons (Am) passed (G) me by (Am)

    No pipe (C) did hum, no battle (G) drum (Em) did sound (Am) its loud (G) tattoo (Am)

    But the Angelus (Am) Bell (F) o'er the Liffey's (G) swell (Em) rang out(Am) through the foggy (G) dew (Am)

  • ok im sorry but all you amaricans who are so upsest about being irish amarican. good for you but if your great grandad wasent from ireland. it means that your most likly more amarican then irish.

  • lol Man if they were not born on the island they are not Irish not even if their parents are lol and if they have passports that don't have the harp on em they can fuck off.

  • GO IRELAND!!!

  • I am only part Irish American (about 3/4), but this song brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it.

  • SAOIRSE DO EIREANN!

  • ''Éirinn go Brách" agus ''Póg mo thóin!" (_!_)

  • An incredibly beautiful version of that marvellous ol' Up the 'Ra song ! We adore it ... Tiocfaidh àr là !

  • I agree with the pro-gaelic argument, face it, the English attempted to decimate the cultures of every nation they've ever conquered.

  • @AmericanRebel4191

    I don't advocate violence, especially not in this era where Ireland is now only a commonwealth in name only, but I definitely identify with the anger felt towards the English for persecuting my ancestors the way they did.

  • @EnDiHjobi I'm English. My ancestors were Irish Catholics.

    Figure *that* one out, misplaced nationalism boy! :p

  • @AmericanRebel4191 That isn't actually true. When British soldiers served in India in the 1700s/ 1800s, many adapted to Indian culture and customs. If you want to see what suppression of culture looks like you need to look at the Japanese Empire - in Korea people who spoke Korean were spyed on. Even in elementary schools. They tried to eradicate the Korean identity. In the British Empire they used the cultures to play certain ones off of others - exposing differences in their cultures.

  • @AmericanRebel4191 silly yank, and the americans planted roses everywhere they went didnt they? fuckin small minded hypocrite, you do know that all nationalists/ republicans north & south despise america, bet youre another o'brien who is a member of the ira 2nd youtube batallion, caps lock company. Yes, my ancestors did some unforgivable things, but if ireland was united the r.o.i. (more so now than ever) could not sustain the north. cool song as well, RULE BRITANNIA

  • @AmericanRebel4191 including yours i take it?

  • @shittyfagg well only if you mean native tribes by that

  • @3tangle3 nah i meant the boston tea party thingy.

  • @AmericanRebel4191 inclusing us welsh....please look into that...we are Englands oldest colony

  • Speaking as a very liberal minded brit i have respect for what the IRA did back in 1916 and the early 1920s. but after Ireland gained its independace from Britain it turned into a group of Chatholic fundamentalists who just wanted to kill prodistants. They also gave information to the Nazis in WW2.

  • you mean catholics and protestants? also the IRA were reformed in 1969 because of the reform of the UVF in 1966 the IRA were defenders of there people put it tis way how would you like it if you battled for years for freedom and you were told you may only have 3/4 of your country back... you obviously have to be educated on the PIRA.

  • Why do Irish nationalists always type in Irish?

    My Dad was in a bus in Dublin about 20 years back, and some kids came on and started speaking in Irish. Then some old lady says "What are ya speaking that goddamn foreign language for? Can't you just speak English like normal Christian people?"

  • because it lets the brits know theytried and failed t wipe out the gealic language.

    she's an embarressment but you do get a quick mouthed wanker around now and again.

  • And what percentage of the Irish populace actually speak fluent Gaelic?

  • Had to do the math myself, but it works out to be around 12.46%.

  • So it doesn't make sense to post stuff in a language that most don't understand. Or make up slogans in said language when no-one understands them at first, just to sound patriotic.

  • Speaking english is normal 4 u because its ur countrys language, but thanks 2 ur royal family, the ones that invaded & occupied a lot of other countries in the past including mine, wouldn't let us speak our own language & forced everyone 2 speak english! & since when is Irish a foreign language in its own fuckin' country? That old lady obviously got her wires crossed didn't she!!! (Slan agus pog mo hon!)

  • It's not really the first language for most people, which makes it foreign.

    By the way, I don't want people to think I hate Ireland here or anything.

  • Well it is 4 the Republic of Ireland, thanks 2 ur majestys government most people in Ireland can't even speak their native language & i'm glad that their putting more money into schools 2 get the children speaking it fluently (well they said they were but since when can u ever trust a politican!)

  • How many of them will speak it as a first language? Not many.

    I'm all for them learning to speak it, but I think that writing slogans in a language most don't understand is a bit arrogant. When they do learn, then yeah, make up the slogans in whatever language is spoken.

  • Ok firstly them little slogans ur going on about, most Irish people understand them, slogans like ''Tiocfaidh àr là'', that sort of stuff yeh? Its full sentences they wouldn't understand & ye they might not speak it as a first language cos when every child is born & growing up, they grasp their first bit of english or whatever language from hearing their parents talk, so if the child was hearing Irish from the parents & school, they would speak it as their first language

  • Look at @AmericanRebel4191's comment!!!

  • I got the 12% stat from American Rebel's comment.

    And what I mean is, if they weren't slogans, would most people understand them when they heard them?

  • Anyone that could speak Irish yeh, if u went to Conamara in Ireland they only speak Irish & fair play to them 4 keeping it that way! You'd be fucking shot if u spoke any english down there including meself & i'm from Dublin, born & brought up here! But i'll come back 2 what i always say if cromwell never invaded over 800 years ago, we'd all be speaking our native language, god i wish i paid more attention in school in Irish class instead of joking around messing recking the teachers heads!

  • Maybe you should've paid attention to history, too, given that you seem to have placed Cromwell in the Norman Invasion of Ireland, which occurred more than four hundred years before he was born.

  • Do u know what i think i'll start taking night classes on learning the Irish language fluently, sick of speaking this foreign language!!!

  • You mean slogans like "carpe diem" or "e pluribus unum" or "Erin Go Bragh" : I

  • "Foreign" doesn't mean "minority". It means, well, "foreign". One may as well suggest that Shakespearian English is a "foreign language" to the English.

  • I am both Irish and English and I support the efforts of the IRA In 1916!

    Erin Go Bragh!

  • LONG LIVE IRELAND!

  • Great version of a great song Hail Hail East Yorkshire Celtic supporter

  • im on the IRA's side

  • You support people who killed thousands for a cause that Northern Ireland VOTED AGAINST and didn't want.

    There were terrorists on the Loyalist side, but more on the IRA.

  • yes, and k

  • hear what your saying bald rick but in all honesty if it werent for the bombs off the ira we would still be harrassed by forces off the crown and thats the cold hard truth ..i love the peace and couldnt and wouldnt harm a flybut those men and women went a long way to grant us our freedom .. i hate the word terrorist because ii think the british army was the biggest terrorists in the north .. lets just call the ira freedom fighters!!

  • @tommyhot100 one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist is another mans martyr

  • IRA

  • Comment removed

  • I like the rythm and sound of this song... can anyone recommend me similar tunes?

  • Same band (Young Dubliners) - "Follow me up to Carlow". Else, there's no such ones, but "Erin Go Brath" by Wolfetones sounds great too

  • Google "Pandora," click the first link and type Foggy Dew in. I'll pick out similar tunes for you.

  • Some of the more upbeat Flogging Molly ones are worth a look- "Drunken Lullabies", "Within A Mile of Home" and "What's Left of the Flag" are good places to start. Some of the more traditional Dropkick Murphys stuff like "Johnny I hardly Knew Ye" or "Flannigans Ball" might work, too, but they're a fair bit more to the punk side of things.

  • You might like The Mighty Ploughboys...they do a version of this song and other old Irish songs.

  • The lady is countez markevitch or however its spelled

  • hail the IRA

  • what is the name of this band?

  • have you found out the name of this band , mate

  • It is the Young Dubliners.

  • yeah, it's the young dubliners

  • who is the lady at 1:43?

  • countess markeviecz

  • it's not a woman

  • I meant 1:50 sorry.

  • Just came back from Dubin. It's such a fantastic city.

  • this war was absed on the irish wanting thier land back! one line says its better to di under and irish sky, becuase they could rather die in thier war then in prison! the brit just need to leave us alone!!!!!!!!!

  • no they say better to day underneath an irish sky (fighting the english) than at suvla (fighting for the english)

  • those pictures of the easter rising on the builings are in belfast city

  • Les paroles envoient très sec ... (vous aurez compris pour qui ...), mais c'est une superbe irish song .

  • DUBLIN IRISH FESTIVAL HOO-AAH!!

  • Marc, go get a life!

  • The troubles NEVER began with a fight between the catholics and prots... it was used as an excuse to invade Ireland... Theres are prots who are with the IRA...Nothing against the prots! DOWN WITH THE ORANGE SCUM!

  • i am a catholic u idoit

  • u started the war killing innocent catholics just shut up n get out simples

  • The brits should face it, they're surrounded. Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, and Brittany. They should stand down, give back Ulster, and end this for good.

    Eireann go Brath!

  • Forgot Cumbria.

  • You do remember that Ulster voted against a United Ireland? I don't particularly care what happens, just so long as it is what they actually vote for.

  • I tend to agree.

  • Ulster never voted on a united ireland. If they did we'd have one as the 9 counties in Ulster have an overall republican majority. 6 counties are with the brits 3 with the republic.

  • Fine, then, Northern Ireland did. Even Catholics in NI are generally against it - they want to be united, yes, but the UK is more secure financially.

  • There was one vote the border poll which was boycotted by catholics and nationlists. The SDLP, Sinn Fien, I.R.A all called on them not to vote and the majority didnt so its widely recogisend that vote meant nothing. In the gfa argeement its there that a referendum on unity can be called at any time so im sure we will have a proper vote whitin the next decade even though we shouldnt have to have any vote as the majority of irish people never wanted partition but were bullied into it by the brits
