@@user-wf2rp4yc6y Tell that to the majority of Northern Ireland that want to remain a part of the UK then wiseguy. Just because you might want that, doesn't mean that majority want that- at least not yet. That's how DEMOCRACY works. One of the conditions of the Good Friday agreement was that there will be a referendum on unification when the sentiment of the majority is that they want to. The UK just leaving Northern Ireland would be undemocratic and would be completely inconsiderate to the people living there. Despite what even the rest of the UK thinks, or you, or me; the destiny of Northern Ireland is decided by the majority of people living there.
Some people say that if you manage to sing the whole song while being drunk, you instantly become irish. It doesn't matter what your current nationality is.
Then block his blind jab. Counter with cross to left cheek. Discombobulate. Dazed, he will attempt wild haymaker. Employ elbow block and body shot. Block feral left. Weaken right jaw, then fracture. Break cracked ribs. Traumatize solar plexus. Dislocate jaw entirely. Heel kick to diaphragm. - In summary: ears ringing, jaw fractured, 3 ribs cracked, 4 broken, diaphragm hemorrhaging. Estimated physical recovery - six weeks. Full psychological recovery - six months. (And no, I did not type this as I listened to the scene. I did it from memory).
@@jace2wheel762 I mean, he's right. Nothing about the song is rebellious outside of the main character kicking the shit out of some Englishmen in the end for insulting his home. Definitely a song about Irish pride, but that's different from being a rebel song.
T'isnt. T'is an auld jaunt from Tuam to Liverpool, and all and sundry a body could meet upon the way. And any lad gettin battered in the course is one who dared to call a man with music in his is soul, song in his heart and a jig his feet a rebel. Any mans holds onto that is a rebel against the soul.... dude
LYRICS !!! In the merry month of June from me home I started Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy Took a drop of the pure Keep me heart from sinking That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin' An' asked if I was hired, wages I required 'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be soon deprived a view of that fine city Well then I took a stroll, all among the quality Bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin' Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connaught brogue Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! From there I got away, me spirits never falling Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling When off Holyhead wished meself was dead Or better far instead On the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it Blood began to boil, temper I was losing Poor old Erin's isle they began abusing "Hurrah me soul!" says I, me shillelagh I let fly Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! Whack fol lol le rah! Whack fol lol le rah!
Connor Veenstra Truly I dont like when someone says, I thought the same, but this is just inevitable. Really I was thinking about the look, its familiar to me :D
I'm a pure blooded Filipino, born raised and living in the Philippines and I love our traditional and tribal music but I also love singing Irish Songs! I was exposed to it because of Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Rogue!
Honestly, us Filipinos and the Irish have some things in common. We're both catholic, we both get drunk, and we both love dancing with our feet(i.e. Tinikling and Irish step dancing).
My cloth became camouflage and a black balaclava along with a black beret appeared on my face, an Ak materialized right next to my desk and a sudden hatred for the Black n' Tans brewed within my soul
I love this song. Every time I listen to it, I find myself transported to a pub (or around a fire) somewhere in Ireland and I am surrounded by happy people singing and dancing. This lively music gives me shivers of pleasure. The urge to stamp your feet then becomes irresistible. What beautiful music that goes straight to my heart ❤. Hello from Quebec, Canada
joris914 Yeah, I've listened to all sorts of different renditions of this song (my favorites being the High Kings and the Dubliners). Typically the one that I sing is a mixture of all the versions that I've heard.
I am English, but was never taught about Ireland or the history of the first Flynn who came over in 1852 during the famine. Now I love blasting Irish tunes when I'm in the mood. I think my ancestors would be proud!
@@sorcha3811 Yep! It's crazy to think that the song's lyrics (written around that time), describe the exact journey that my family would have took from rural Ireland to Dublin on to Liverpool. I'm visiting Dublin in a week, (I now live in Washington D.C).
@@ciaranohalloran4416 thank you. I've been to Cork almost 20 years ago. I loved it. Beautiful city and amazing people. My cousin is married to an Irish man, and I really love this guy (no homo) and I met his family and friends at the wedding : only very nice people. Plus I remember how the Irish people behaved during the Euro 2016 in France (I was working in a hotel in France, we got people from all Europe, the Irish were the coolest). Believe me, when that covid shit is over, I'll defenetly go back to Ireland on holyday. First place I'll go outside of France.
This is, undoubtedly, the most epic song ever composed and nobody can say the opposite. It tells you everything from the start of the journey to the troubles along the way and the arrival at the final destination as well as the grief for having the journey end. And I only talked about the lyrics, that violin and flute duet before the last verse just makes everything even more epic. It's not even up to discussion: this is the most epic song ever!
I'm from NZ, about 10yrs ago I drank (hitchhiked) my way from Cork to Dublin... Being on the hill tops of a farm, on the main road outside a pub or in the wind on the coast it was always raining... Yet every local took me home and warmed me up with a stew and a fire and a brew... And when I got to Dublin... I didn't really want to get on that ferry to Holyhead... But I had too... And I will always remember... The lasses, the cheer, the brew and the welcome... Fair Play, Ireland. Much love, Mikey I'm from NZ, about 10yrs ago I drank (hitchhiked) my way from Cork to Dublin...

I was living in Ireland, well for almost 2 years. And, oh my the music, people, everything that remotely associates with Ireland just got me mesmerized with them. ❤
J'adore cette chanson. A chaque fois que je l'écoute, je me retrouve transporter dans un pub (ou autour d'un feu) là bas quelque part en Ireland et je suis entourée de gens joyeux qui chantent et qui dansen. Cette musique enlevante me procure des frissons de plaisir. L'envie de taper du pieds devient alors irrésistible. Quelle belle musique qui me va droit au coeur ❤. Bonjour du Québec, Canada
Even if I'm not Irish , but this song make me feel proud that this kind of clean music exists . todays singers rate nothing comparing to these guys . Hats off . 03.04.2018
When I discovered this song on St Patricks Day, the 1/3 of me that's Irish was crying whiskey tears of pure joy. If this pandemic wasn't going on, I'd have had a blast at an Irish pub and just joyously celebrate my Irish heritage.
Haha just tried singing it with the boys and now I'm super pumped. Damn this song is pure adrenaline. Need to pack me bags n head down the rocky road to Dublin.
I'm mostly Italian and German, with a little Irish on my father's side of the family, and I always felt more in tune with my Irish heritage given I've always had lobe for celtic singing, instrumentals, and even tap dancing. Always enjoyed the culture, plus I was in ireland roughly 15 years ago on vacation. I'm proud, incredibly proud of my Irish heritage, no matter how small of a percentage I may have. Also never met an Irishman who couldn't fight either! Whack fo la le ra!!
I have the impression that there are three things no one is gonna beat Irish people at 1. Drinking 2. Long breaths 3. Tongue twisters I mean what on earth they are not even confusing the lyrics! Hahaha Amazing all of them! And I loved how the crowd began clapping from the beginning of this song! The coordination they show is great and I love it how they are not just singing but they are interpreting it; they transfer the livelihood to people! Amazing. I would love to see them live! EDIT: Guys...it's a joke for those who keep saying like "these are like that" or "those are like that" this is a humorous comment like you guys need to chill a bit 😑 it is a humorous RU-vid comment not world history commentary... Of course other nations have a lot too...
@Rasgulla Yup I believe I have. It is right next to my neighborhood after all. So? Does that stop the fact that Irish songs such as this are including too many words which makes it lively and hard to sing? The fact that there are other examples too doesn't erase this. The comment was a lively half-joke since Irish language is indeed fast and...quite talkative language. Relax people I not insulting the heritage of anyone here.
