"Óró! 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile" - Irish Civil War Song 

French: I have the biggest number of silent letters! English: No, I do! Irish: *Step aside, kids*

The Irish have a blessing for song and poetry, I will say that much.

The Irish: fighting the English since 1169

Never heard this version. Sounds like medieval knights riding into battle

Long live to Ireland from Mexico! We Mexicans can never forget the St. Patrick's Battalion!

Irish songs have such a breadth of themes, from "God grant me the good fortune to see my country fighting for independence, even if I may die in the attempt" to "I like whiskey and women". What a people

Irish language is the most strongest language, and i love to hear it and speak it

This is Pádraig Pearse's version, executed for his part in the Easter rising 1916. The Irish he uses is of an older form before the Irish state instituted an Caighdeán oifigiúil ( the official standard) after independence in 1922. The original is said to have been written about Bonnie prince Charlie's return from france to take the British throne and restore Ireland and Scotland to the Catholic faith. There were many links between Gaelic Ireland and the Scottish highlands.

You know a song is good when it makes you feel patriotic for a country you’ve never even been to

I speak Irish and I’m Russian. I was in Ireland last year and enjoyed everything, managed to speak Irish in some Gaeltachta. Thank you for everything, dear Ireland, and God bless you, our dear Irish brothers! Greetings from Russia! 🇷🇺❤️🇮🇪 Labhraím Gaeilge agus is Rúiseach mé. Bhí mé in Éirinn anuraidh agus bhain mé sult as gach rud. Go raibh míle maith agat, a Éire! Beannachtaí ón Rúis, a chairde linn! 🇷🇺❤️🇮🇪

6 feet. 1 for every occupied county

Respect to the Irish from iraq we both suffered from the British🇮🇶❤️🇮🇪

You know it's Irish when you can't get rid of that feeling that the transcription doesn't match the actual pronunciation.

*attempts of unifying Ireland noises*

Anyone else thinks this sounds like drunken sailor? Just me?

The Irish are one of the few people groups that i classify as having went through something. Theyre warriors.

Love the language, similar to Scottish gaelic which is my mother tongue. Don't let these beautiful languages die out

Free Northern Ireland, TIOCFAITH AR LA 🇮🇪

thanks for more irish, cornish, breton, scottish, welsh and mann music. It's awesome.

Glory and sympathy to Proud Irish brothers from Greece!

Only love and honour to the memory of Patrick Pearse. A great inspiration to me personally, and to all true nationalist around the world. Greetings from Sweden

Greetings from your brothers in Scotland , Alba gu bràth!

“All of us are going after now. Believe that we have saved the soul of Ireland. That we have struck the first successful blow to freedom and that freedom is coming. But between this and freedom, Ireland will go through Hell. But Ireland will never lie down again.” “I and my fellow signatories believe that we have struck the first successful blow for freedom. The next blow, which we have no doubt Ireland will strike, will win through. In this belief, we die happy.” - Tom Clarke. “Rougher than death, the road I choose. Yet shall my feet not walk astray. Though dark, my way I shall not lose, for this way is the darkest way. Now have I chosen in the dark, the desolate way to walk alone, yet strive to keep alive one spark of your known grace and grace unknown. And when I leave you, lest my love should seal your spirit’s ark with clay, spread your bright wings, O Shining Dove. But my way is the darkest way.” “I am very happy I am dying for the Glory of God and the Honor of Ireland.” - Joseph Mary Plunkett. “I, before paying the penalty of death for my love of Ireland and abhorrence of her slavery, desire to make known to all my fellow countrymen that I die as I have lived, bearing no malice to any man and in perfect peace with Almighty God. The principles for which I give my life are so sacred that I now walk to my death in the most calm and collected manner. I meet death for Ireland’s cause as I have worked for the same cause all my life. God save Ireland!” - Seán MacDiarmada. “I am to die at dawn. I am ready to die, when I thank God that I die in so holy a cause. For myself, I have no regret. The one bitterness that death has for me is the separation it brings from my beloved wife, Murial. And my beloved children, Donna and Barbara. It breaks my heart to think that I shall never see my children again. But I have not wept or mourned. I counted the cost of this and I’m ready to pay it. Murial has been sent for here. I do not know if she can come. She may have no one to take to the children while she is coming. If she does. My dearest love, Murial. Thank you a million times for all you have been to me. I have only one trouble in leaving life: Leaving you so. Be brave, darling. But for your suffering, this would be all joy and glory. Goodbye, your loving husband.” - Thomas MacDonagh. “To my poor son, Rónán, from his father who is to be executed tomorrow, for Ireland. Take good care of your mother. God help you and may He give you a long and happy life. May God free Ireland.” “Aíne, my wife. Keep this in memory of me, Aíne, my love. Tell Rónán I’m dying for Ireland. When he is older, he will understand. My dearest Aíne. My poor little sweetheart of how many years ago? Ever my comforter. God comfort you now. What can I say? I die a noble death for Ireland’s freedom. Have hope, my love. Stay strong until we meet again in Heaven. You and I and poor little Rónán. Adieu.” “Ireland has shown she is a nation. In the years to come, Ireland will honor those who risked all for her honor, at Easter 1916.” - Eamonn Ceannt. “One man can free a people. As One Man redeemed the world. I will take no break. I will go into battle with bare hands. I will stand up before the gall, as Christ hung before men on a tree, and I say to my people’s masters: Beware. Beware of the thing that is to come. Beware of the risen people who shall take what you would not give.” “This is the death I should have asked for if God had given me the choice of all deaths: To die a soldier’s death for Ireland and for freedom. We have done right. People will say hard things of us now, but later on they will praise us.” - Padraig Pearse.

We really need to save the Irish language

The Captured IRA Soldier in the first picture is a blood relative of mine from Kerry, found out thanks to this video, go raibh míle maith agat mo chara

I’m proud for my country Ireland 🇮🇪

Hello from Portland Oregon USA, I just wanted to thank the people of Ireland for helping the Choctaw Nation out of who I have ancestry too, it really means a lot to me.

this is by far the best version of this song.

Love my catholic irish brothers 🇮🇪 🇮🇹

The song is from the Rising not the Civil War. Pádraic Pearse composed the lyrics for the Republican version of the song actually

spanish here, sorry we didnt sent more troops to help you irish brothers

"All or nothing." - What Michael Collins should have said to David Lloyd George.

Adapted by padraig in the 1910s, the melody and chorus had existed well before that.

When Northern Ireland finally unified with you

Never heard such an upbeat version

Irish people your language dont let the Anglo-Saxon influence make forget it.

TND, the Irish will be free!

Viva Irlanda del nord viva la do derry viva I cattolici Irlanda del Nord. 🇨🇮

I love Ireland and the Irish language as a Pole living here!

Really exciting and upbeat version of this! Love it.

Originally the song was an Irish Folk song but when the Irish Civil War broke out, the song was sung by Anti-Treaty Forces from 1922-23

What a beautiful language!

God bless Éirinn. My name is Shille, my clan is from counties Cork, Down and Connaught. One of our clan died fighting for freedom as a logistics officer in the GPO that fateful Easter where 16 brave heroes died- my clansman and 15 more. We Plastic Paddies will not forget the land our families hail from, nor the men who died trying to free it. Éirinn go Brách!
