The Wolf Tones - Admiral William Brown (With Lyrics)

First of all, i KNOW the the subs have lots of mistakes but I`m too lazy to correct them so deal with them, I made them really quick.

I don`t know the name of the band that sings this, nor the original song name (I think it should be something like William Brown :P)...

I did this slideshow with the mere purpose of uploading this song, I do not hold any resentments nor I hate english nor anyone.
Some of the photos are from my trip to Ireland ^^.
Bottom Line: It`s just a nice song and i wanted to upload it since I`ve never seen it online, and since it`s awfully boring to hear a song without at LEAST a slideshow, I did this...

Hate/Stupid comments WILL BE deleted, have no doubt.

I leave you this nice words as well...



El 10 de junio de 1826 una poderosa fuerza brasileña se presentó ante Buenos Aires, integrada por 31 barcos. Brown sólo disponía de 4 buques y 7 cañoneras, pero era dueño de ese coraje contagioso que se agranda ante la dificultad, y dirigiéndose a sus tripulantes los arenga con estas palabras:

"Marinos y soldados de la República: ¿Véis esa gran montaña flotante? ¡ Son los 31 buques enemigos! Pero no creáis que vuestro general abriga el menor recelo, pues no duda de vuestro valor y espera que imitaréis a la "25 de Mayo" que será echada a pique antes que rendida.

Camaradas: confianza en la victoria, disciplina y tres vivas a la Patria!"

Momentos después la nave capitana de Brown dio aquella consigna inmortal: "¡Fuego rasante, que el pueblo nos contempla!"


BTW, everything is in english because it`s the song`s language.



Spanish Translation (by Omaeryx, correction Feanor)
De un pueblo de County Mayo vino un hombre de gran renombre
como marino y soldado ninguno fue más audaz
Dicen que fue a America a joven edad
como grumete para navegar por todo el mundo.
Luego la aventura lo llevó al sur,
a la boca del De La Plata.
San Martin ya estaba luchando en Argentina.
Entonces tres grandes barcos compró y contra Brasil y España peleó
Y libertad buscó para Argentina.

Oh almirante William Brown, eres un hombre de coraje demostrado
y en todas las batallas, las probabilidades estaban todas en tu contra
pero tu corazón Irlandés fue fuerte y en la memoria aún vive
y en Irlanda hay algunos que no te olvidan
Se dice que en el dia de San Patricio, tu tuviste muchas victorias
Tu venciste a todos los invasores, matones y agresores
Luego levantaste a las Pampas y encontraste un feliz hogar
LAS ISLAS MALVINAS ARGENTINAS

El habia escuchado de manos irlandesas, en nobles y valientes bandas
que ayudaron a liberar la tierra de Argentina
el escucho con gran aclamo el nombre y fama de los Patricios
cuando en 1806 los britanicos vinieron para la masacre
Y hasta este mismo dia, en la Argentina dicen
que los ingleses huyeron corriendo de Buenos Aires
hasta las islas mas abajo, y las tomaron para la corona
LAS ISLAS MALVINAS ARGENTINAS

Nosotros recordamos a William Brown
y su tierra de gran renombre
el invasor robó las islas de tu país
cuando en 1833, fue forzado a irse por los piratas
y en Irlanda seguro conocemos la historia completa.
Y la gente que tambien, fue a la Argentina cuando nueva
para escapar de las leyes inglesas de guerra y hambre
Ellos probaron ser leales, tal como los irlandeses
LAS ISLAS MALVINAS ARGENTINAS

Los viejos dias coloniales y las crueles maneras inglesas
"con el trueno nosotros enseñaremos al nativo"
Ya que los britanicos fueron a la guerra, tal como Whitelocke lo hizo antes
con sus barcos y armas y tambores y banderas y estandartes.
En los viejos dias del imperio cuando asesinaban por el oro
y lo festejaban por las calles de Londres
Oh no habian derechos humanos, para los nativos, muertos o vivos
LAS ISLAS MALVINAS ARGENTINAS

En la Argentina descansó, Padre Fahey a su lado
57 fue el año en que su pais lo lloró.
Nuestro heroe nacional, es un heroe con euforia
A través del mundo donde la libertad aún vive
Y la cruz del sur tomó nota, cuando Willie Bullfin escribió
los irlandeses aún te apoyamos, Argentina
Con el imperio tambaleante, que ningun irlandes soporte a la corona
LAS ISLAS MALVINAS ARGENTINAS

@Medeasbiggestfan The vast majority of argentines support the return of the islands and this is the why argentines have restricted the access to the islands, to manipulate the self-determination of a partially closed community. Other reasons are invalid excuses. Argentina will never invade the islands, the argentines want to dialog and free access and permanency in the islands, without free access for all the self-determination of any community is artificial.

@pibedamian

Don't think so. There's no incentive for the islanders or the UK to negotiate.

Even if Argentines were allowed to immigrate to the islands, it wouldn't change anything.

Spaniards are allowed to immigrate to Gibraltar (in fact almost 25% of Gribraltans are of Spanish ancestry) yet after only a short time on the rock, all most all of them want to remain British.

It would be the same with any Argentines that go to live on the islands.

[pibedamian]

@Medeasbiggestfan I think that the islands will back to Argentina sooner or later. The islanders will keep their self-determination as British (because they're British too). The islanders independency will remain nonviable while the access restrictions persist. Only after many years of free access to argentines, the independency could be analized.

@pibedamian

The UK doesn't have the right to negotiate away the freedom of the islanders.

As I said, Argentina is welcome to refer the issue to an international court, but it won't get the result it wants.

I think there will be negotiations eventually, when the islanders vote for full independence from the UK. My guess is the UK will offer to give Argentina sovereignty over South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in return for recognising the islanders' independence.

[pibedamian]

@Medeasbiggestfan Argentina don't want to negotiate with the islanders, Argentina will negotiate with the UK, if the UK refuse, Argentina will directly invoke an international court and demand the UK for the the injuries generated for the international crime in 1833 that still generating injuries to Argentina. UK should take advantage of the intention of Argentina and convince the islanders to return the islands. Until now Argentina is running with the expenses, it will change

[Medeasbiggestfan]

@pibedamian

The UK defends the islands at the request of the islanders who are terrified of the Argentines coming back.

Argentina's current policy doesn't hurt the UK and only services to make the islanders less sympathetic to negotiate with Argentina.

The UK will never pay reparations and it won't negotiate against the wishes of the islanders. Argentina's current policy are doomed to fail.

[Medeasbiggestfan]

@pibedamian

Argentina didn't pay reparations to the islanders. In fact, the Argentine government says its current policy is to cripple the islands economy.

You could argue that the UK does pay for taking over the islands in 1833. The UK pays millions every year to protect the islanders and gets nothing in return.

[pibedamian]

@Medeasbiggestfan In fact Argentina paid for the invasion in 1982. The entire country.

[pibedamian]

@Medeasbiggestfan, If the invasion of Argentina in 1982 was a crime like the crime commited by UK in 1933, yes, Argentina must pay. The difference is that the injuries generated by Argentina are minimal and finite. The crime performed by UK continue generating injuries, so UK will be obligated to pay permanently, and not only for the past.

[Medeasbiggestfan]

@pibedamian

25 individuals were put on trial for Japanese war crimes, not the entire country.

Japan did pay reparations for the crimes committed to the peoples of counties it subjugated.

When will Argentina pay reparations for invading and occupying the islands and placing the islanders under a military dictatorship in 1982?

I realise was rule Argentina by an illegally military junta in 1982, but so was Japan in the 1940s.
