[b2kessler]

i know for the leager, i hear it be the school,i want moore information

[bengalmix]

Stellt euch vor,Luke Kelly und Hannes Wader hätten gemeinsam gesungen...

[LennyIreland]

@bengalmix  Ernst Busch und Luke Kelly zusammen wären auch genial!!

[MrReGGeaMaker]

this song names in german is "moorsoldaten"

who have interest it ;)

p.s. i would die for u luke :)

[canadienofdeath09]

It's by far the best non-german version of this song.

[canadienofdeath09]

I live about 10 miles away from the place where the conzentration camp "Börgermoor" was and Luke Kelly lived about 1.000 Miles away from this place. But anyway, he sings this song with so much passion, it is pretty touching. As if he would have been one of those peat-bog soldiers back then. Great job!

[red67888]

magic!

[angelf1re]

What power in Luke's voice. You could almost cut it with a knife. Brilliant.

[MrStrigori]

wow, i didn't know that the Luke Kelly did sing this. I learned the german original in school...but this is just amzing

[johnfinbarburke]

up the ra 

[nickbanjoman]

listen people,,, it matters not how u word it, the camps that are spoken of are meant to take away freedom in general.,, or life as that person knows it,,,,, is death any worse???

[Doniedaff]

Beautiful song.

[Frankieireland]

the first time the term concentration camp was used was by the british in south africa when they set up such extermination camps to kill off the wives and children of the boers. People tend to forget that.

[bluebirdmatt]

@Frankieireland  You might want to tell the difference between "extermination" camps and "concentration" camps. there is a huge difference.

[Frankieireland]

@bluebirdmatt I don't see a huge difference. Both are set up with the aim of extermination. The only point i was making was that concentration camps were invented by the british on one of their many genocide missions.

[MsDodo117]

i know this song in german, but this version is only great. love it

[MsJony1234]

[3CRManifest]

[fecktu]

[88mmHeidiMG42MP43]

Fantastic and haunting cover of a cool old German song. RIP Luke Kelly! The angels must be jealous of his voice.

[jockelinho]

nice cover, caqn feel the pain of a concentration camp prisoner, when i hear it

[19Moira]

what a song! There is nothing more to say. Exept : A great Luke Kelly!

[Nerd1138]

i like the slower version better. its better for sad reflexion. the faster version is good for working or other activity. i 'm really glad you posted this

[Nerd1138]

I agree with crowhawk but this slower versions is sill so enthralling. Much sadder -better for looking back-

[johnkeppel90]

Dark and haunting...

[bull9stud]

thank you for posting this video here.. from Occupied Iraq.. El Toro.

[dinnymac]

everyone nos that

[crowhawk]

Like this version But I think Hanns Wader's Die Moorsoldaten is the best version.

[HabsburgLorraine]

I'm afraid this comment is about to get nuked by all the Dubliners fans...

[Mullahgrrl]

I doubt it, they have rather forgiving fans in my experience.

[fannyf34]

[checkers12234498568]

[Lotiolenti]

Awesome! I like both versions equally :D

[irishgeal1]

these are the songs of a international balladeer,and our luke was second to none.

[komsomolac]

Beautiful and touching song..

[samdaly1986]

great upload. great to see there's still acknowledgement of the old greats. shame its being lost among most today

[Weetikveelwelkenaam]

Any clue where the picture was taken? first rough idea was trinity college but thats a very wild guess

[kellyoneill]

not sure i thought it looked like the GPO.

[Brenden667]

Dont think its TCD, but there's a sign above Kelly's head.

[Orpheus200]

I love the german version. But this on is brilliant, too ;) Thanks for posting.

[HabsburgLorraine]

Where can I find this 'German Version'?

[Orpheus200]

Just search for "Moorsoldaten" ;-)

[jadaneck]

this "german version" is the original, created by the prisoners of the conzentration camp "Börgermoor".

[kachahaan]

@jadaneck

Die Moorsoldaten - I sang it when I was young in Germany

[numberonejette]
