Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem Oro Se do Bheatha Bhaile

[thewindthatshakesbar]

Religion should never be a reason to fight... only freedom!

[queasymodo]

Thank you.

[jonluck77]

@AmonCahan Im protestant and i feel the same way



[sandinmyears1]

I just watched "The Wind that Shake the Barley" about the Irish Revolution and Civil war. This was the underlying song throughout the movie.

[djR1chard]

@AmonCahan its not about that anymore mate. ireland is dead in my eyes not cause of the violence its cause we dont stand up for the ordinary people anymore. no jobs no life 440000 unemployed and the banks get 80 billion of our and our nieces and nephews money explain that .fook ireland what a kip its become.sorry but thats the way i feel

[TheGlitcherGamer]

@AmonCahan

well said i would fight alongside u any time

[PETERSNOTGAY08]

1798 was lead by protestants and our first president was a protestant and the gaelic league was founded by protestants some of the best things donre in irish history were done by protestants i dont understand why religion is the problem now

[BlockedParty]

@PETERSNOTGAY08

Because when the forces of the crown arrived they were protestant, as time went on they started plantation and Irish men became loyal to the crown. The came the jacobites who were led by the catholic pretender. catholics joined and wanted to removed England and their loyalists. Now hundreds of years later we live in a country that is full of vile because of religion. Blame England.

[PETERSNOTGAY08]

@BlockedParty it was randolph churchill father of winston churchill that started the trouble between catholics and protestants in 1912 to stop home rule from coming in here and to topple the liberal government in england and it is him to is to blame for the hatred in heart of protestants in the north. before that they were all friends sure protestants built st marys church in belfast one of the first catholic churches built in belfast and it was protestants that raised the money to build it.

[theh3mpourium113]

his religion thing is bollocks some of irelands greatest patriots were prodys such as robert emmet the only reason religion was brought in to this wdefine the particular people who were being discriminated against oglaigh na heirrean

[ninelivecat]

Drunken Sailor was based on this interesting

[xiiNCarmodyiix]

Cmon da irish

[tony10396861]

Brilliant version

[superpoweredrapist]

It's quite worrying that there still seems to be massive militant nationalist feeling, I hoped we had put those dark days behind us. There are few things worth killing for and if you're not being oppressed then what country you belong to isn't one of them

[mattyowen2009]

R.i.p all of my Catholic Brothers who have been viciously slaughtered by the british, may they look down on us and one day be proud that we will defeat the british and the WHOLE of ireland will belong to us and the orange state will be no more ... UP THE RAA .... Tiocfaidh ár lá! <3

[kerronoluain]

But why is there a cultural war? ?

Because the Orange State still exists. Untill it is dismantled politically then cultural issues will be vetoed by Unionists

[gorillahead100]

This was actually a Jacobite song and ended up being a popular tune with the exiled highlanders in Nova Scotia.

[EireAontaighe]

@AmonCahan Your comment made my day. Most encouraging, my thanks...

[djleesus09]

@AmonCahan respect man i hate people who bring religon in to it , its either nationalist or unionist the media brought religon in to it and belfast didnt help with the sectarian divide peacewalls set up by the brits

[redfishblue87]

What a song!!!

[hobartquins]

Fucking hell what a song!

[CrAzYcUsIoNS]

Great song based on the pirate, Gráinne Ní Mháille

[batbitca]

can't wait to say that to my brother when he finally gets home after all these months, like he always does me when I get home after a long time away... Oro se do bheatha bhaile. (and I can finally say it right!)

[Dilla2k9]

i luv dis song nd i am proud 2 be irish "Oro se do bheath ar bhaile"

[golddragnet]

this is an excellent version

[itsjustmacker]

Great upload, nice to here the mother tongue

[jamesverne]

if u liked this try 'an puc ar buile' by seamus ennis

[hadders81]

i've not heard this since primary school.!! thanks for posting!

[belyub]

gaesatae

[paddycoolZ1]

go raibh maith agat, love this song. so inspiring

[richiejervis]

Learned myself this when i was 15 :)

[Glgebhrste]

There is an animated version on my page with sing-along irish subtitles for anyone interested in learning the song.

[paddycoolZ1]

wow superb, thank you will check it out

[szczurekprzepyszny]

I'm Pole who learn English as I live at England, but this song (Sinead O'connor as well) causes that I fell regret I don't live at Ireland. But I'll visit it in future. I WILL!

Tomorrow I'll ask about "good morning" in Irish - Ghaeilge?, and today about Gráinne O'Malley.

I dont remember when I heard over ten times one song. AWESOME.

[DwnAszPunk]

The idioms of other languages are so weird to my 1 language mind.

[xcaper66]

I'd sing along but I don't know the words

[christoir246]

Ireland is free,free N Ireland

[belgenvlaming]

Sé do bheatha a bhean ba léanmhar B'é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibhinn Do dhúiche bhreá i seilbh méirleach Is tú díolta leis na Ghallaibh. Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile Oglaigh armtha léi mar gharda Gaeil iad féin 's ní Gaill ná Spáinnigh; 'S cuirfid siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh. A bhuí le Rí na bhfeart go bhfeiceam Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain Gráinne Mhaol agus míle gaiscíoch Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh.

[fried771]

A cara: go raibh maith agat.

[tom55114]

@belgenvlaming Liam Clancy voice is as pure as a mountain stream its listening to him or watching hurling that makes me proud to be Irish and gratefull too

[scholar17]

Ta iontach e sin!

[Tanglefist]

Great song. Everything about it is perfect. The Dubliner's version is really good as well, but I think this one is slightly better.

[ninicfc]

Tá an ceol sé go hainteach!!!!

[heavenlybastard]

walkied barefoot for 6 hours strate signing this song to keep me going,..reminds me of the of godo oul days,..:D

[Tanglefist]

That's awesome. Where were you? What'd happened to your shoes?

[golddragnet]

@heavenlybastard Why???

[morrobay1990]

Thanks to you, darrin42, for posting this. I love this version, too.

[swedishhighball]

English translation Oh-ro You're welcome home, I'd rather you to a hundred milking cows, Oh-ro You're welcome home... Now that summer's coming! Young Charles, son of King James It's a great distress your exile from Ireland Without thread of shoe on you, socks or shirt Overthrown by the foreigners Chorus Alas that I do not see If I were alive afterwards only for a week Young Charles and one thousand warriors Banishing all the foreigners ,

[aitsurself]

Grainne Mhaol is coming over the sea,

Armed warriors along with her as guard,

They are Irishmen, not English or Spanish,

And they will rout the foreigners

Óró! You are welcome home!

Óró! You are welcome home!

Óró! You are welcome home!

Now that summer is coming

thats the full translation! wat are u on about??

[Dibbs2010]

tnx man :) bt change the english part to frenchmen :)

[kieran34567]

a truly moving song gives me goosebumps fair play

[morrink]

this is so beautiful, even though Im not irish Im a swedish catholic, im proud over my celtic catholic brothers and sisters for having so wonderful culture.

Support Irish independence.

Ave Maria.

[finipops]

I love this song,It's class and by far the best version! Cheers!

[budman159]

Whats atm?

[SPACON08]

most likely atm = at the minute

[mugmugmug11]

at the moment?

[meggasimonn]

automatic telling machine lol

[hobartquins]

Great song pity about the dumb fucker comments

[ikeelyouall1641]

Gaeil iad is ni Gaill,nà Spainnigh,

Is cuirfhidh siad ruaig ar Ghaillaibh,

[michigansharky330]

ohhmercy, can you think of a more intelligent word to use than shitty? It just sounds so hateful and ignorant.

[Frankieireland]

no it's actually very beautiful and powerful. shitty isn't an intelligent word. and the ignorance lies with you my friend.

[wo5q]

And war isn't hateful and ignorant? Especially one of this nature? Think 'shitty" is mild applied to this conflict.

[ErnstBecker]

Which war? I dare say that some had to be fought. Yes, War is hateful and ignorant; however, History repeats itself time and time again and again. Some wars had to be fought.

[Frankieireland]

The only war left in Ireland is a cultural one, no one has to die in order to promote irish culture, language, tradition and history. The good fir agreement secured that right. "Not simply free but gaelic as well, not simply gaelic but free as well." true now more than ever.

[satyrix1]

Very well said my friend !

[darrin42]

Here here

[logan1776]

if the good friday agreement resolved everything than why are there more Irish Republican Political prisoners today than in the 1980's?

[Cstrife234]

@Frankieireland Yeah, well bring back Lugh and the glory of the pagan Celts.

[kingdes32]

@Frankieireland  fuck off

[Frankieireland]

@kingdes32 des, calm down, tóg og bog é. it's not good for you to get so angry. good boy.

[OhhMercy]

Alot better than Sinéad O' Connor's shitty version.

[bondie45]

Weres darraphelagn gone to ??? anyone know??

[M0e9h8]

In reply to those slightly further down the page, I'd just like to ask whether someone's religion, or for that matter, nationality is overly important? It shouldn't be. The Catholic Church is flawed, the Church of Ireland is flawed. There are faults on both the Irish and English sides. But its history, ok? Now can we please enjoy this excellent song in peace, and overlook its nationalist lyrics? (I appreciate that Pearse did write it before the rising, but that was 90 years ago!)

[KittyStarlight]

To piperscraft: Hear, hear!!!!! ^_^

(Lots of Irish and part-Irish guys gave their lives defending my country too [America].)

=^___^=

[chrometanned]

I think this is the first I have heard the Clancy's sing in Irish. Sinead did a great cover of this song...

[chiburui6]

It's the influx of a middle eastern religion the same as is going on today.

Catholic, Protestant, Jew or Muslim.

That's the problem with many countries today.

It's that and nothing more that seperates the people.

[vmightypanda]

i wish people would stop calling ireland a catholic state. its not. the catholic church doesnt own the country

[NakedTripper]

i couldnt agree more. some of irelands greatest heroes were protestant. tone, emmit, mitchell, o'brien-smyth, douglas hyde, parnell, the list goes on. calling it a catholic state isnt gonna make uniting ireland any easier.

[LUKEJAMESBARRETT]

still has its hands strangeling the country

[JoanneChristie]

I am JUST FINE THANKS FOR ASKING!

[BretWinters]

"please dont insult us by tryin to learn our language" You are a tit! What kind of elitist shit is that?

[zelda1996]

this is off of there live in carnigie hall album am I right?

[Germanator93]

ive watched the film- alarmingly. Its an endless vicious circle of violence. Brutal IRA and brutal Tans.

[sensibleken]

agreed. i liked the way it showed the brutality on all sides. a nice change

[UTDIRELAND]

There is a whole World in this song !!!

[Maureen57]

Did they say Grainuaile in there somewhere?

[JadePenbrooke]

It's Grainne Mhaol (GRAN-ya WALE), or Bald Grace, another name for Grace O'Mally.

[Maureen57]

I've never heard it before but it is great. What are they saying?

[Denzel1916]

It doesn matter if we're Normans, celts, vikings. It doesn even matter what our religion. Republicans aren all catholic. And loyalists aren all protestant. What we fight for is a united Island under our own socialist rule we're we can fairly decide our own matters. Without interference from Foreign goverments. Why should northern irishmen have to follow rules and decissions which have been voted for by people who dont live on this island. We need a united eire.

[Germanator93]

right.

[viajustice]

the IRA are fighting for money now to be honest

[viajustice]

love this song :) fav irish song i cant say anything i am still here in ireland lol :p in cork city my great grand father was a head of a colum in west cork for the IRA when the IRA were fighting for a reason

[SRArepublican3]

my great grand father was in a colum in ballincollig area,but he wasnt the head of it,nearley got caught with guns before,a few yards at the back of ware my house is.

[orckiller91]

this was live in NYC in about 58' I think

[MeatyPortion]

Great song. I get goosebumps when I hear it.

[ozvalerino23]

This song was rewritten by Pearse as a summons to Irishmen living abroad to return to Ireland and drive out the British prosecutors.

[UE63]

I Say this song represents the man who longs for his country and for the ones who fight for freedom, Tiocfaidh Ar La! By a Celtic Scotsman

[UE63]

I Say this song represents the man who longs for his country and for the ones who fight for freedom, Tiocfaidh Ar La! By a Celtic Scotsman

[brianhourigan]

Incorrect. Firstly Padraig Pearse was executed in 1916 so I don't know where you are getting the 1920's figure from. Secondly the song is an old Irish jacobite song which was sung by Irish Jacobite soldiers during the 1690-1691 williamite wars in Ireland. Fact. Padraig Pearse did however, add lyrics to it prior to his execution in 1916.

Also Grainne Mhaol or Grace O'Malley was a real person. So I don't know where you came up with that statement

[viajustice]

this man speak's the truth pearse was excuted in 1916 after the GPO hold up and he was on of the people that singed the proclimation of independce and he did add the lyrics and then it got popular after hes death was used as a IRA training song my grand-father told me cause he was in the war in 1916 and civil war after that cork was one of the worest places in ireland during the times

[Hoguisabadass]

Bollix to anyone who decides to use this song as some sorta republican rallying cry.This is a song about returning home, A longing for the land of your birth. It is as relevant to a foreigner as it is to me, a proud irishman.

[simbagg1]

Tiocfaidh Ar La!

[paulgallagher13]

Polish lads in Ireland are nice people.

Africans and Muslims however need to be send back to where they came from as soon as possible

[soupdragon78]

We have immigrated in waves all around the world for centuries, the Irish diaspora is untold in number. Couldn't we return the favour and be good hosts for once.

[morrink]

Catholics around the world! Stay strong and true for Ireland!

Best regards from a swedish catholic.

[77redchevy]

i am still here. irish catholic

[NakedTripper]

ugh. i was raised catholic, and the experience has left me with few good things to say about the Church. uber-conservative, hateful, misogynist,and deceitful(abuse scandals). what has the church done for ireland anyway? if the magdalene laundry fascism? the church never struck a blow for irish freedom, with the exception of a few priests in 1798. besides the way to a united ireland lies in a post-christian future.

[uuultras]

Anyone knows if exist a version in italian of the film Wind that shakes the Barley ?

Answer me please

[OldGenoan]

Yes, and the title is translated as "Il vento che accarezza l'erba". It is issued as a double dvd: one for the movie and one for a documentary by Toby Reisz, "Carry on Ken"; plus a little book with some excerpts from the script and some lyrics from the Irish war of independence and traditional: for instance, The Foggy Dew, Down by the Glenside etc. All for euros 17,90.

[PatriotsGame]

----------------IRISH PATRIOTS---------------

1 in 7 people in Ireland are non-nationals. 400,000 legal immigrants and at least 200,000 illegal!

The only organisation that whants to put a limit on immigrants is the Immigration Control Platform (I.C.P)

Look at the massive problems othere European countries are having because they are an insight to the future of Ireland!

Race or colour,s not an issue its how long our culture will last?

Please support the I.C.P

[richmond450]

Race or colour not an issue?? What a stupid and cowardly comment. So you would be satisfied with an Ireland with a black and brown majority, so long as they drink Guinness and root for the home football team? If so, then you're one sick puppy. We will never accomplish anything until we are honest enough to admit that race is important and that we, as White people, want to continue to exist.

[PatriotsGame]

sorry misunderstanding! i want ireland to be majority pure ethnic irish forever! I was just trying to make the point that i dont hate any one because of their colour!

[NakedTripper]

just to remind you we irish are a mixed race. Normans, celts, vikings, a little saxon, but mostly pre-indo europeans who have been hanging out since the stone age. or so the DNA would say.

[AreYouExperiencedJH]

The Vikings were almost all driven out. The Norman lords settled, but there weren't very many (most chose to settle in England.) The vast majority of Irish people are actually Celtic, although there has been a arge amount of immigration recently.

[NakedTripper]

no. the vikings continued to breed with the irish in the very towns they founded(dublin, limerick, etc...after clontarf the towns were more or less absorbed by gaelic culture. as for the normans, some quintessential irish names are actually norman in origin including burke,shields, and any fitz-name. these people became "more irish than the irish" and were completely gaeliscised by the 15th century.

[morrink]

I agree! The non-european imigration wave is not just a threat to Ireland but to the whole Westernworld civilisation. That got nothing to do with racism but identity and roots. Stop all massive "refuge" invasion to Moder Europe, claim your roots and stay true to your culture.

[gollywan]

So should we kick out all the illegal Irish in America? Would that make you feel better?

[richmond450]

I'd rather have 20 million illegal Irish, Polish and English immigrants in America any day of the week than what we have now. Race does matter. We are a White nation and want to continue to be so.

[1982mrben]

Good point.

The Irish have historically been forced all around the world due to British imperialism.

Look at all the Irish who had to move to Liverpool, Birmingham and London and the racism they had to deal with - guesthouses that said "no blacks, no Irish, no dogs".

We should understand its Western economic decisions that force immigrants into Britain and Ireland and we should stand with them and help them.

[morrink]

1982mrben,

you do not seem to know much about Western economics. The third world is receiving billions in dollars to aid and welfare and has been receving that for 50 years, still those countries are poorer than ever. It´s easy to blame to western world for everyting, its simple, anti-intellectual and political correct, but it´s all lies. Its a question about race and culture. The arabs are the richest nations on the planet with their oil, still they invade the west for economical reasons.

[ddude119]

wow, talk about misinformed, mate you obviously don't have a fuckin breeze what youre on about, leave the talking to the adults now, go sit in the corner and wait for puberty, ignorant dunce

[BretWinters]

well said ddude

[sigiluvsu]

haha, im kiwi, and we were trying to learn this song, so we wrote out the phonetic spelling for it; o roe she-de-ba ha wall ya!

then, i figure out its supposed to be; Oró Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile!!!

blimmin kiwis!

[nhgypsy95]

Me Too!

[bradygeoffrey]

did i comment hear earlier?? Shite... I forget. Anyways... Oro se do bheatha bhaile...

Slainte!

[LateroseMosswing]

So much love for the Irish language. Alas, it is so hard to obtain materials for learning the language in the US.

[aisbxxx]

irish is grand, until u av 2 do a test in it that pretty much determines whether u get into college or not!! and any1 can learn it, so dont talk shit. our language wil die out otherwise!! slán go fóill a chara ('',)

[darrin42]

Well I wouldent agree that it is Easier in the sense of the actual Language! Maybe easier becasue the Majority Speak English, but Irish is not overly Complicated to learn when compared to some other Languages

[MeatyPortion]

I'm taking Arabic now but have tried to learn Irish Gaelic before and it's no picnic. I'd love to learn it though.

[nhgypsy95]

so would I. It has so many different sounds

[baronofcheese]

because the british stupidly banned it when they occupied ireland

[darrin42]

Yyes I know...I was agreeing with you.

[darrin42]

It makes no sense lol. The very idea of England as opposed to the Roman Britannia was first introduced by the Saxons!

[baronofcheese]

Celtic that is

[baronofcheese]

I wish Tommy Makem was still around

[baronofcheese]

the english were before the saxons took over

[mrhappy3232]

It's still spelled with a C

[kuroneko99]

I happen to be both Irish and Italian-American. We were all treated like dogs when we came to the U.S. by the Anglos, let's not fight amongst ourselves. Solidarity ok? Jeez.

[odium]

shame. my family missed all that, comin in '82. Irish and Itals: the original white niggers of the U.S.

[JoanneChristie]

Besides you were MIGRATED TO THE UNITED STATES AS A SLAVE LABOR! THE ONES WHO ARRIVED TO AMERICA WERE EUGENICS AND EACH COUNTRY WAS PAID TO HAVE THE "WORK HORSES"! AND THEY LAUGHED AND LAUGHED!

[kuroneko99]

I can't tell you're trying to insult me or not - perhaps if your English grammar was better.

[JoanneChristie]

Now why would I INSULT YOU?

[nhgypsy95]

Good answer. #1 Answer. My grandfather came from county cork, bless his soul.

[CaptainN64]

You're lucky. My family came over during the Famine, and I don't know anything about where they lived before that. All I have is my name.

[JimmyJKelly]

The song's a classic but the banter below on these messages is funny

[paulebroderick]

did you call him a 'piece of shit' by any chance?

[odium]

Italian wasn't bad, got a better grade in it than I did in highschool spanish. Yeah my dad speaks irish, never taught me shit though he was always on the run, such is the life a businessman.

[odium]

hahah thats cool dude, I was just fucking around. I actually took a semester of italian during last summer session in college - its a lot better than that dirty spic language

[odium]

its fuckin irish. im irish-american myself, my dad is irish, where im from we dont like greasy ital's, stick to your own shit.

[JoanneChristie]

Your Father is ONE FOR DEMOCRACY! He was CREATED BY DOG! AND EUGENIC!

[odium]

goddamn thats fuckin awesome

[Ron5982]

Good One

[Celt2daCore]

One of the finest versions of this songs i have ever heard nd its in one of the most beautiful lanuages this world has ever heard

[Sbfenian1916]

Beautiful

[Cibitrunks185]

this is one of my favourite songs. The language is quite difficult..

[bardontheriver]

My Lord. This is by far the best version of the song I have ever found. Their command of the language is excellent. Thanks so much for posting this!

[meganmurphy1212]

This version is grand. Thanks so much for posting.

~Megan

[colintoner]

Our fine land in the possession of thieves...

And sold to the foreigners

.....Grainne Mhaol is coming over the sea,

Armed warriors along with her as her guard,

They are Irishmen, not foreigners nor Spanish...

And they will rout the foreigners

oh your welcome home!

[darrin42]

It is a Great Song. Given New lyrics by Pearse Himself

[baronofcheese]

I love this song

[Ancupola]

My grand mother was a native speaker of Irish, I so regret not learning her many songs and poems. If we don't use Irish we will one day wake as if from a nightmare and regret our own folly and stupidty and scandlous disregard for OUR OWN language.

[moty78]

Used to dread Irish in school... now, so many years after emigrating to America it's the one thing I regret not learning more of. One of the world's most beautiful sounding languages. What a song.
